Finished two sewing projects and once again cooked dinner. I am starting to feel super 1940's domesticated.
Ok..maybe I should explain... Hubby went to culinary school. He loves to cook...and is a super awesome chef.
Unfortunately, our little town does not have very many cheferly opportunities. And because of this,
Hubby doesn't work in his dream job. His job is very un fun. But... Hubby usually cooks dinner for our
Little family. This time of year, his job gets even harder than usual. I thought I would be super sweet and take over the
cooking obligations. Hence my current feelings of extra domesticity.
One of the sewing projects I finished was this one.
It is, of course, pillow. I saw it here...there is a tutorial. I would just like to warn you...this pillow takes FOREVER! But it is SO worth it!
I love the finished product. LOVE! I might even make more. Like I said...it's totally worth the time!
And this is what I made for dinner...we had a spiral sliced ham for dinner on Monday...this was me using left overs!!!
Yay me!
I soaked the beans ( navy) for a couple hours in the morning...rinsed them and added fresh water, the ham hock ( I shaved off the extra hangers on of meat, and cut it into bite size pieces too) three bay leaves, A bit of thyme and rosemary. No salt! There was plenty in the ham. Then I let it gently simmer for four and a half hours. Yum! It is not often that any bean dish gets a thumbs up all around the table. Apparently we are adding it to our list of menu items! Yay for me!
I also made Artichoke and Basil Bruschetta...I found the recipe at Shutterbean...check it out. There are tasty things afoot! I am going to try the Coconut Waffles this weekend. Can't wait!
Ps...I apologize for the terrible pictures. Hubby was sweet enough to let me use his phone for pictures...not very pretty, but at least
I can show you what I was working on:)
