Done (for now)!!!
Finally, all those links up at the top are working! Please, check out the new
Recipes and
Patterns sections, and find out more about me by clicking the
About link (duh). I'm especially excited about the patterns section -- it has a picture of every project, plus links so you can buy those patterns that are for sale using either PayPal or Ravelry (your choice). Those patterns are still available on
Etsy as well (and if you're a
fan of me on Facebook, you can email me the current discount code and I'll honor it when you purchase from here as well. For PayPal purchases, I'll refund you but for Ravelry purchases, you need to let me know what you want prior to purchasing and I'll set up a gift for you over there.) Right now, my eyes are bleeding from doing markup all day -- I got a little feature creep when I sat down to do the pattern page this morning and ended up doing a lot more than I planned. But I'm very, very please with the result, and now I don't have to go back and do it all over again in a month. I hope. So anyway, I'm going to cut this short instead of blogging about how our visit to the pediatrician went (the kids are healthy, and that's about the only good thing I can say about it...there were Issues.). I'll try to post something about that tomorrow. For now, enjoy all the new pretties!

Coming Soon!
You may notice that there is a brand new nav bar, where there never was one before. You may also notice that if you click on patterns, recipes, or about on the new nav bar, you are taken to a page that just says "Coming Soon!" The store link will take you to the
Etsy store (which has a pretty new header and will have new products up later this week), while the blog link takes you, well, here. Soon -- within the next week -- I will be consolidating all of the recipes I've posted here (and formalizing the ones that are just "throw these five things into a bowl and presto!") and offering them over on the new recipes page. Obviously, I'll continue to post new recipes here as well -- if there's anything I love more than yarn it's food -- and all of those new recipes will be added to that page as well. At the same time, I'll be putting up the long-promised patterns page, with pictures and PDFs and even a couple of new (well, old, but never posted here) patterns.
To tide you over until then, here's a recipe for the baconcheeseandcheeseburgers we had for dinner Monday:
1 lb. ground beef (I used 85% lean)
1/2 c. shredded cheese (I used the pre-shredded Kraft Mexican mix)
1/4 c. crumbled bacon (I used Hormel Real Bacon Bits in the purple envelope)
Sliced cheese (I used pre-sliced Colby-Jack; I believe Kit used Swiss on his)
Buns
Put beef, shredded cheese, and bacon in a large bowl. Mix (use your hands -- it's okay to get dirty) until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 4 parts. Press each part into a patty approximately 4" across and 1/2" thick. I found that the lid from an old quart yogurt container gave me perfectly sized burgers. Grill to desired doneness (you could also cook these on the stovetop or broil them -- however you like to cook your burgers should work fine). Place cheese slice on top of patty a couple of minutes before removing from heat. Place patty on bun. Enjoy!
I added a slice of grilled pineapple to mine, which was pretty awesome. But it's great all on its own, too.
