Weekend Update

February 18, 2008 By Carole

It’s day 3 of a 4 day weekend here at Carole Knits. Yesterday we drove Hannah, Jessica and Patrick to the airport in New Hampshire so that they could fly to Florida to be with Brant, Heather and Ambrynn. All reports are that they are having a great time. Hannah in particular is loving the warm weather. She must get that from me.

After leaving the airport we headed into downtown Portsmouth to meet up with Cheryl for lunch. I had the world’s largest Bloody Mary.

Yes, that is a sawed off Grey Goose Vodka bottle. Please note the inclusion of the beer glass for scale. Let me just say: yummmm. My sandwich was good too but really, the Monster Mary was the star of my lunch.

Dale and I will be enjoying having the house to ourselves for the next few days. I’ll check in again tomorrow but in the meantime, be well.

    How were you able to do ANYTHING after a ‘lunch’ like that? Sounds good, however. Enjoy your week;-)

    I really really really want a glass made out of a sawed-off Grey Goose bottle. Really.

    The Bloody Mary completely counts as a vegetable. (crap, I think I totally mispelled that!)

    But was there a whole lot of vodka in there too? Or just more ice and juice? It looks pretty good to me this morning!

    I bet it was hard not wanting to get on the plane with them. Thankfully you were just there though, so that helps. Enjoy your alone time with Dale. Could be lots of fun 😉

    Holy Toledo that bloody mary is HUGE!! I think every restaurant/bar should make them that size.

  21. Kim says

    February 18, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    Wow….I bet that was the highlight of your lunch! Sounds like you had a good time! Enjoy your time alone, it will pass quickly 🙂

    I hope that you have enjoyed the quiet at your house – and that you slept in, read a bit, knit a bit and generally relaxed.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
