Right now I am . . .

st patricks day selfie for carole knits

Practicing: Selfies with the big camera. I pretty much suck but it’s fun.

Reading: Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield. I wasn’t sure about it and it’s certainly quite different from The Thirteenth Tale but I’m enjoying it very much.

Watching: Downton Abbey. Dale and I had always planned on watching this – I knew we’d love it – and I was right. We’ve just started Season 3.

Listening: To the wind howling. It’s ferocious out there!

Eating: This delicious One Pot Spaghetti Puttanesca. Whole wheat pasta and no meat and it’s fantastic. Do you think it will compensate for the chili dogs I had the night before?

Growing: My hair. And my bangs. It’s a pain in the ass but I think it will be worth it in the end.

Admiring: All of the new grandbabies our friends are having. Seriously, there were 5 in the last week and I’m sorta jealous. Not that I want Hannah to go down that road just yet . . . but I do have 3 stepchildren that could get crackin’.

Dreaming: About Mexico. 24 days.

What’s going on with you?

    I think that picture is lovely. My only attempt at selfies involved a tripod and a remote control.

    24 days!! You must be jumping out of your skin to get out of Dodge! Selfies make me too self conscious. Growing hair is a pain, I know, as I’m growing mine, too. Now sure I’ll love it, but it’s worth a go. You look great!!

    Good job!! I’ve been sticking with my selfies too. Not every day, but at least once a week, now I have to pull out the big camera and give it a try.

    Love the selfie! I am making an attempt to grow out my grey, but have already dreamed that it’s a bad idea. We’ll see. And chili dogs, it doesn’t get any better than that!

    I tried selfies yesterday – it was bad. Yours came out great! Growing out the hair is a real pain. I can imagine how anxious you are for Mexico!

    Mighty nice selfie there, Carole! 🙂 Growing out the hair is always a pain – but change is good! Mexico sounds like a wonderful diversion from this . . . “winter of our discontent” (as Tom calls it!).

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

Scenes from our dinner last night. There were only Scenes from our dinner last night. There were only 2 instead of our usual 8 and I missed my crew.
