too busy to cook much today -

[Kitchen Witch]

I've been so busy making blankets and bedspreads that today there seemed to be no time to cook (plus I felt lazy and with it being so cold, it felt good to have my crocheting on my lap keeping me warm while I worked on it!).


For breakfast we had hot oatmeal with raisins and toast with cinnamon and sugar.


For lunch I opened a jar of homemade pizza sauce; split a loaf of Italian bread horizontally and lightly brushed with pepperoni oil, topped with sauce, mozzarella/provolone cheeses, pepperoni, sliced mushrooms and popped in the oven.


Dinner was just chicken thighs in seasoned flour, skillet fried in olive oil and plenty of garlic. Steamed potatoes, carrots and broccoli. Beets, green beans and black olive salad with olive oil, wine vinegar, seasonings.

None of the meals took up much time and I made great progress crocheting.

What do you make them for and what kind do you make?

ipsyrebel - I make different size blankets, afghans, bedspreads, lapghans, baby blankets, etc. in different patterns and stitches - sometimes I may keep one but usually they are given away or donated to the needy - baby blankets for the unwed mothers. During the summer I work on hats, scarves, mittens to donate late autumn. I do a lot of knitting but 99% of the blankets, etc. are crochet. Just picked up a new loom (loaned one out and never got it back!) so I am eager to try that one on a few things.
