7:30 am
At around 12 today I leave for Webs for their
Super bowl Sunday knit/spin in. I will join the others from the work knitting
group there, and who knows I may see others there, too. That goes until 4. Lovely.
Yesterday:
wow, just one day and look what I did: rearranged
my room!!! Woooooohooooo. It started
bc I could not get to the file box to file papers. So I moved the file box. I will
file things in the box that has been sitting in the basement empty for months. It
will be way easier to access. So that was gone and I tackled the boxes of
winter close that have been in a pile since December when it actually got cold. I made them summer boxes with shorts and
tshirts and put them in the closet. I put all the hanging things from the
closet except work clothes in L’s closet. THEN I cleaned off the bureau, took everything
off the shelves beside the bed and MOVED THEM over next to the bureau. And put
everything back. Except not everything, I also went through the books and got
rid of some. Well, I put them in a box to take either to work or to the dump to
the freebie tables. It all looks lovely. Oh, and I took back the little bureau
that has been in the living room holding Tigger’s diaper stuff and that is now
beside my side of the bed. What I still must do is sort my knitting needles and
figure out how I am going to store them more effectively than in a heap on the
shelf.
So there
you have it. Lovely. And now I can actually get at the things on my shelf. Next
big project is getting the ceiling in the basement done so that can be truly
and finally set up. Next. As in eventually. And some of what this project did
was to create more piles that I must go through. Bit by bit.
Besides
that yesterday, I worked with the rabbit stew I had made. The one for which I marinated
the rabbit in vinaigrette and it tasted too sour. So I removed the rabbit,
scraped off all the rosemary and bay leaves and olive oil, put it all back with
the sauce and stewed that for a while with more stock. Added a bit of salt, but
nothing else that I can remember. Then I strained it to get all the bits out,
but added the garlic back in and smooshed what I had strained to get the
flavor. It was tasting much better. I put the meat back in and let that stew
for a bit. Finally I added cut up carrots and potatoes and the whole thing was
quite lovely. I also made more yogurt from last week’s milk and was very
pleased by the end of the day that it worked out – using the tail end of the
Sidehill Farm yogurt. And I started straining more qurt. I have one more bit to
strain. So in those ways the day was productive. And I think the fair schedule is
pretty well set. Oh, just one thing to find out from the Workshops Chair – if she
wants me to do a 1 hr workshop on Sunday. I bet she will be at Webs today so I can
ask her then.
Fire is
started. Tigger asked to go out so out he is, but now he is barking, maybe to
come in.
