Loving:
Knitting:
Brea Bag using 2 skeins of beautiful dark green Cascade 220
Buying:
Ling Glass stained glass pendants. I just bought 3 GORGEOUS pendants (pictures to follow), and of course now I see more I must have. :)
Boden clothes... Susann, I hold you responsible! ;)
Eating:
The BEST granola ever, thanks to Melissa at the Traveler's Lunchbox. Rush right home and make some! I will admit I used less butter, and substituted 1 cup of rolled oats for 1 cup of nuts, but otherwise followed the recipe. YUM!
Kool Aid Pickles Dave shuns them, but I'll get him to try one. I'm going to have a tasting at work at the end of the week. I'm a fan of the Tropical Punch pickles, and Susann favors the Lemonade.
Green Tomato and Lemon Marmalade thanks to Melissa Clark and the NY Times (recipe after the jump). Next time I'll add more lemons and lemon juice.
Watching:
Monarch of the Glen, season 1. Note to self - do not read BBC site for fear of spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in Imax 3D! Can't wait to see the last 2 movies on an Imax screen... AWESOME!
Mourning:
The cancellation of the Dresden Files. Come on Sci-Fi, this show was amazing!!
Awaiting:
John Williams and the New York Philharmonic
Mets game on September 8th - Fleece Blanket Day!
2 weddings in October, one local (Theresa and Sean) and one in MA (Kerry and Mark)... yay!
Reading:
Harry Potter Book 1 (starting over after finishing Book 7)
Charmed Knits and looking for knit patterns from Phoenix (the twin's christmas scarves and Ginny's vest from the last scene)
What are you up to lately?
1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
2 1/4 pounds green tomatoes (about 5 large tomatoes), cored and thinly sliced
3 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt.
1. Bring lemon slices to a boil in a pot of water. Drain.
2. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan along with 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer, stirring, to dissolve sugar. Cook at a bare simmer until tomatoes and lemon slices are translucent and syrup thickens, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool completely; store in refrigerator.
Yield: 1 3/4 cups.
