Scarf Pattern

Hi Everyone!

So I have way too many projects in the works....it's like project attention deficit disorder....or as I call it " I'm tired of staring at this color...oh let's work with this now!"

I started this scarf it's two colors which I'm shocked I'm doing because I'm downright awful at intarsia.

So it's just a simple rib patter k2 p2
These pictures show the front and back.

You should give it a try ^^

Baby Blanket Finished!

Hi Everyone,

Sooooo after months of working on this.....and many breaks. I have finished the baby blanket for my cousin. His son was born a month ago. So this blanket will be making the long trip to Brazil.

I believe the pattern is using Katherine's Wheel.
It's one giant piece and I think it's dubbed the yarn eater blanket.
I got the pattern off of youtube. If anyone is interested in this pattern I will gladly put up the link for you guys. The lady that did it has some wonderful work. She's fantastic!
I'm just  so excited it's done! Sasha is very sad to see it go....she's been eyeing it for months hoping she'd get it, poor puppy. She was sad with the last blanket I made and when my friend came over and got it for her birthday....the puppy would NOT let it go, it was like watching non violent protest she just laid on it and stared at my friend. Took some coaxing to get her to stop.

Homemade steak sandwich

Hi Everyone!

The other day I made steak sandwiches....I love them!

Ingredients are:

Sub buns
Steak ( tenderized by beating with a mallet tenderizer and cut into strips to fit the sandwich I try for 1 1/2 thick in width or so)
Provolone cheese 2-3 slices per sandwich
Butter
Bell pepper ( any color)
Red onions
Mayonaisse
Tooth picks
Foil

Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees

Melt butter in a pan and cook your steak pieces. Afterwards or before which ever step you want to do first is slice thin pieces of red onion and bell pepper sauté until tender ( I sauté using butter for this)

Assembly:

Open up the sub bun layer in some mayonnaise put salt and pepper to your taste. Put in the onion and pepper as much as you like. Add the strips of steak layer with the cheese slices. I like to cut the slices in half then neatly later them kind of helps it from oozing out of the sandwich.

Place bun on top put tooth picks in to hold everything in place and wrap in foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

It will come out ooey gooey with cheese and the bread will be lightly toasted. Yum!

Serve with chips or fries.

Any steak meat will do for this as long as you tenderize it. You don't specifically have to get phillysteak cuts...I know I sure don't.

Also horse radish sauce is awesome in this.

Hi Everyone!

I got a food present yay!

Hi Everyone!

So the other week I got a present from one of the girls I work with and I thought I'd do a little post about it.

My coworker is so sweet she gave us each a Tortuga rum cake. Now I have no idea how much it costs but it looks so pricey from the look of the box.

BUT that's not the point I could care less if it was expensive or cheap.

It's the fact that it was the TASTIEST rum cake EVER! Now I have an urge to learn how to make a super moist rum cake. I thanked her sooo many times for this present....should really thank her more...

So expect in the near future to be getting a rum cake recipe I'm determined!

Plus it could just be me but the packaging is fantastic so pretty

Yes I'm a nerd you guys should have been able to tell by now....

Simple Dessert 1 : Strawberries

Hi Everyone!

Here's a very simple and cheap dessert you can have at home plus with a little imagination you can make it look fancy : )

I got 2 pounds of strawberries the other day at SAMs club and in my poor attempts at being a good girl and eating a bit healthier I did this.

You'll need:
1 bag melting chocolate ( I used Wilson's) you'll use about half the bag
Strawberries of course
Sugar or artificial sweetener ( I used Splenda)
And fat free cool whip
Wax paper

Now wash your strawberries and separate about 10 of them.

Melt your chocolate, I had used a dark chocolate. Now dip the 10 strawberries and let them harden on the wax paper.
If you're lucky you might be able to dip some more depends on the size of your strawberries.

Then just chop up the rest in a bowl and sweeten to your liking.

After that just scoop some chopped strawberries into a bowl decorate with some cool whip and place 2-3 chocolate covered strawberries near the cool whip.

If you're really good you can make it look like a dessert from a high class restaurant : ) and happily know you spent under $10. Happy dance anyone?

Quilt/Crochet Granny Square Blanket Ideas

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently working on two ideas for granny square blankets or quilts.
So far I have a graph for the Companion Cube. I also have a graph of 1986 Legend of Zelda's Link holding a piece of the Triforce. I'll get these pictures out this weekend. At least the Companion Cube the Link I'm thinking needs some cleanign up before I pass it on : )

If you have any ideas you'd like to see graphed out for a granny square or quilt blanket let me know and I'll see what I can do. Just message me and I'll get back to you.

Oh and update on my Fiery Amigurumi

He's still going I'm still fussing over the shape of his head. I'm also trying to hunt down my latch hook. So he's still a loving work in progress.

Have a nice week everyone!
