Shadow, that scarf is gorgeous! Don’t know if I could coordinate my hands for knitting, though - it’s taken me a good 6 months to feel comfortable with the crochet hook.
I don’t wanna go back to work tomorrow either! I wish there were some way I could work 4-6 hours a day and get paid for 8. LOL Wouldn’t that be nice?!
I made a pot of split pea soup today, and instead of using ham hocks and ham, I used a smoked turkey wing. It turned out very good - I made it in the crock pot, actually. To start, of course, you need a package of dried split peas :smack:
1 large onion, diced
1-2 ribs of celery, diced
1-2 cloves of garlic, diced
1-2 carrots, grated
Saute the veggies in oil or use the cooking spray, until they’re nicely browned. I added my seasoning to the veggies as they cooked: some salt-free lemon pepper and some Mrs. Dash table blend and a dash of sea salt. I washed the split peas first, then added the sauteed veggies and washed peas to the crock pot, and topped them with the smoked turkey wing, which I broke into pieces by the joint. Then I added about 7 cups of water to the crock pot, put the lid on and turned it on low. I thought I might have to add water, but 7 cups was enough. You can also take some of the soup out, blend it up then add it back in just before serving to have a creamier soup, but I didn’t do that. We served the soup up with cornbread muffins, and boy was it good! Oh yes, it cooked on low for about 6 hours, then we turned it to warm until time to serve.
I’ve got several crochet projects going on right now, but no camera to take pics of any. LOL You just have to take my word for it on that. The most recent one is a variegated purple scarf for myself; I need something that will cover my head!
