Leftover Red Rice Pilaf for dinner tonight, followed by an apple crisp which I've been meaning to make for about 6 weeks now.... But I'm still on a roll! What else new can I make from TAOSF? There is a chapter called "A Little Something..." which includes some stuff that looks pretty ambitious to me, but the chapter starts with roasted nuts. I have nuts. I have fresh sage leaves. I'm good to go.
Alice says to roast the nuts in the oven. No way, Alice! I know that roasting nuts can go over the edge into charcoal land in a flash, so I did mine on the cooktop where I could watch them like Fannie Foxtail watches finches on the birdfeeder. I mean every second. I'm not sure what the point of the fresh herbs is, since those went off into charcoal land pretty fast. But the final product, a mix of pecans, almonds and walnuts, was scrumptious. We inhaled them with our leftover pilaf.
Otherwise... Have I mentioned how much I love my Chai Ball class, which is one of my yoga classes? Yoga resterday. Chai Ball today. Restorative yoga tomorrow. Love it, love it, love it.
Then I went on a hunt for 7/8" ID plastic tubing. Nothing locally, but darned if I wasn't able to track it down in an instant on Amazon. No shipping. No sales tax. I'll get 6 feet of the stuff when I only really need 18", but at least I'll have it. Shopping in the 21st century.
Still unpacking rug loom parts. Thank heaven the heddles are in good shape. I have to get all new heddles for the 16 shaft Macomber which is going to cost a fortune. And, I fished out the Harrisville brochures, so I hope I can get that one up and running in the next few days.
