not quilty but my first sock is done! it fits, it's funky and it is finished! few errors still but one biggie related to left/right directions that can be adjusted on the next one. fortunate i didn't expect perfection...LOL!
also this weekend worked on the second lap robe flimsy for our group's vets project...and then some cool weather cooking was completed....was given 2 fat red peppers so stuffed peppers it was....
was given some boneless chops...trimmed off fat and added to this melange of sweet potato, carrots, celery, onion, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, rosemary and oregano. really nourishing, very low sodium and satisfying on cool days. simple tasks but evoke long ago memories of busy kitchens where jams, veggies and fruits were "put by" for the winter ahead by my mom, aunts, great-grandmother.
today could be the last bandage day. able to get my watch back on so that's a big help. nurse visit later in the week. in two weeks it will be 3 months since onset of this current medical disaster. so often i thought it would never end. typing easily with both hands altho a bit of numbness persists. feel like i can finally breathe a sigh of relief--once the housing issues get settled that is. i am so overdue for some fun and diversion.
i saw this on instagram....a good reminder but confess i have failed at it already.....but today is a new day and God forgives....no halo for me yet....LOL! have a coooool Monday!
Rejoicing as you overcome hurdle after hurdle!!! The sock looks great! So does the stuffed peppers: I sure love those!
ReplyDeleteyeah you on the socks. Knitting is too difficult for me. Hope your housing issues get addressed.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that your arm is improving!
ReplyDeleteYour first sock looks great! I hope the second one is fun for you too.
ReplyDeleteLove your finished sock.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you stuff the peppers with? There's something so delicious when peppers get smushy with baking/filling. The pork stew looks good, too. Your sock turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented much lately. I've had house guests and meal prep, eating, and cleaning up can take a lot of time. Your sock looks great, so much better than I could ever do. The stuffed peppers look really good. I've never liked stuffed peppers in the past but the last time I made them (about a month ago) they were terrific. I'm a new fan. Glad you continue to heal and putting on your watch tells just how swollen you've been. Good news.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first sock. I love the colours. There’s nothing better than hearty comfort food. My favourite type. Your meals look delicious. So good to hear if your continued improvement with your arm and you have a wonderful positive outlook.
ReplyDeleteYour sock is wonderful; and all that it represents is even better! Yay, YOU!! I love, love, love stuffed peppers but I never make them because my husband won't eat a pepper. The dish brings back great memories of childhood dinners from when I was growing up. I just know how delicious yours was. Ditching the bandage sounds like one more reason to celebrate! Prayers continue for healing and restored feeling~
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read that things are getting back to normal again. You went through quite the journey!
