Odds & Ends

I'm presently two months ahead on writing posts for the blog, so I'm wondering if I should schedule two posts per day during summer rather than end up three months ahead of myself. Probably maybe might. :)

After experimenting for six months I have figured out how to make a large NY style pepperoni pizza (including the sauce) at home using common ingredients that cost about $5.00. My guy absolutely loves it and wants me to make it all the time. Given that most large pizzas are three times what my homemade one costs I might share my recipe on the blog next time I make one. I've never published a from-scratch recipe online so I'm a bit nervous.

I'm seeing a lot of outdated info and maps on the different places we've been visiting, and I love these towns, so I'm considering writing a free e-book on places to visit and walk through, and some of the loveliest features.

Along with my planned art quilt, my 2025 mini-quilt project and everything else I have on my plate, I think that's enough to keep me busy this summer. :)

I'd love to see your pizza recipe.
Lately, I don't have enough hours in the day to do what I need to do, let alone write on my blog.

To impede my progress, I dropped a package of frozen chuck roast from the top shelf of my freezer onto my foot. I thought I had broken it, but the swelling is starting to go down. I'm able to put some weight on it today.
Hopefully, I'll get my kitchen back at the end of the week and I can get back to cooking. For now, I still have to stay off my feet and try not to let anything else fall on me.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
