[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[carcione at access.net]

Wow Cindy, that’s great!  Sounds like things are moving in the right direction.  

 

I never thought of making pizza crust beforehand and freezing it.

 

I’ve finished the sleeves on my sweater!  I’m going to sew it together, then make the button bands.  I’m afraid I may not have enough yarn left.  The perils of changing the gauge on a pattern—I didn’t know exactly how much yarn I’d need.

I'm a couple of days late. Congrats on the muffins and the carpet is a lot of work.

First, I finished the second hexagon and have joined them and working up the back. I, too, am trying new things in the kitchen. I have only unpacked some of my jars but learned I can use the milk I usually have on hand and made my first batch of yogurt in my new home and also tried making it directly in the jars. It looks good so far (moved to the fridge now and chilling). My grocery order that is coming tomorrow will have the ingredients for me to make my own pizza dough and I will parbake and freeze ready-made single serve pizzas. I also found a pancake mix recipe that seems like the bisquick shake and pour that I use to make mug pancakes. So, I will be trying that at some point.

And last, my master bedroom, master bath, and master closet have been painted and I am moving things back in. Paint job was great, paint color not quite what I hoped so trying a sample of a different shade before we move to the section.

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

 

I made Morning Glory muffins this week.  I really like them, but I’d always look at all the ingredients and wimp out.  But this week I decided I have everything and I’d give it a try.  They came out really good.  They took a while to make, but it was worth it.  People who estimate the prep time for a recipe don’t seem to count the time it takes to, say, peel and grate 2 cups of carrots.  Or they do the job much faster than I do.  I need a sous-chef.  “O André, prepare all these ingredients while I do something else.”  Would be nice.

 

Also, we decided to get new carpet in 2 rooms of our house, so we spent all yesterday moving stuff out.  Whew!  Made me think of Cindy and all the work she’s doing on her house.  But it should be worth it in the end.
