We did stuff....
Work was exciting last week. But as a team my folks are in violent agreement on things that aren't going well. So that is a plus.
Thursday we celebrated Pi Day at work and I won a pie for participating in a pie eating contest. It was fun and the pie was good but pumpkin was not the pie to pick for eating. My friend Jen won a pie for a trivia contest and gave it to me so I brought home 2 pies (cherry and strawberry/rhubarb). The boys were very happy to have pie over the weekend. And we shared with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elinor_dear and scribe_ari.
Friday I did some work, took girls to the vet and went to see Glenn. He was not amused at how effed up my body was and didn't even bother to touch my arms since they were so inflamed from how effed up my neck and chest were he wanted everything to stabilize before he touched them. Course that explains my hands being effed up if all of the nerves were inflamed going to them.
Mel and I saw Kingsmen at a matinee and it was lots of fun. Not the movie I expected at all and the ending was a bit cheezy but all in all a fun romp. And there is a pug...nuff said.
Saturday the family and Elinor traveled up to Prescott Valley to go to Fiber Frivolity. We had lots of fun. Elinor cast on a new shawl with some mohair yarn which according to here is "like knitting a kitten, soft and snarly". I took a spinning wheel maintenance class and did some spindle spinning. I also started to teach Ben how to spin and he did really well I think. He got the hand of spinning and holding things. Next we will work on fiber. I think for his Bday we will take him to grandma's to pick out some fiber of his own.
I also finished a hat. I had made the Capucine hat while I was queen and it was a bit small and I gave it to Queen Cassandra of Caid and so I made another one and it was just right for me except that I had very little of the handspun yarn left for tassels. And honestly, the tassels make this hat. So I let it fester in my queen box and when I repacked it for Estrella as a project box I realized that I will just have to measure out and divide the remaining yarn to make tassels. And that is what I did. I got the tassels made with Elinor and Sekmet watching and it was good.
We had dinner at Lonesome Valley Brewing Co and watching Mel and Brian geek the heck out over beer was awesome. The food was tasty too. Benny was a tired monkey by this point and just plain work out and whiney. Course my growing boy is rail thin and not eating dinner cause he's tired. But soon I'm sure he will be back at mass quantities.
We got home about 10pm and then slept in till about 8am. I was headachey and allergy ridden but got up and going. Picked up Elinor for a trip to the Heirloom Farmer's market. We had a good time and i got eggplant, coffee, peirogies and roasted tomatillos. We stopped at Twisted Tandoor to get brunch and they were out of their famous beef/feta samosas. So I got the boys the vegetarian ones and me some tandoori chicken. I also chatted up the owner's daughter and got the skinny on the chutney of awesome and determined that I could easily make it myself.
Got home and mel and elinor chatted bread making after we all consumed the nummy Indian food. I then got her home and went grocery shopping. We were out of a lot of staples and I got the ingredients to make the chutney. Got home and Mel wanted quiet and had a talky, doesn't want a nap almost 4 year old. Then I spent over an hour trying to get Ben to put his clothes away....sighs. Then I went about dinner making. I made the non-spicy chutney which is just approximately: 1/2 bunch of cilantro, 1/5 cup of lime juice, 6 leaves of mint, 1.5 cups of greek yogurt. I added this all into the quisinart and blended until smooth. For spicy I added 3 Serrano chiles. I had put onions and red pepper into some olive oil to saute and then added the chicken thighs. I let them cook both sides for a bit before adding the non-spicy version to simmer for a while. I served it with Israeli couscous which I had spiced with dill. It was tasty as I served the spicy over the meal for Mel and I and we had a Ballast Point Indra Kunindra which is a India-style Export Stout of awesome.
Spent the evening doing laundry and playing Russian Revolver solitaire and we went to bed early for us.
