How to dine like a bachelorette, part one June 22, 2009

Filed under: Life in General, Musings, Random — holyshiitake @ 4:57 pm

Step 1.  Rifle through various food receptacles, and drag out the following: 2 eggs, packet of grated cheese, milk.

Step 2.  Begin to mix eggs, cheese and milk together for scrambled eggs.

Step 3.  Add some feta cheese, as the packet says ‘best before 24th june 2009′.

Step 4.  Add some taco seasoning to make an otherwise boring serve of scrambled eggs more interesting.  Sniff, then add more.

Step 5. Remember that there is 1kg of frozen corn kernels sitting in the freezer.  Drag these out.  Do not defrost.

Step 6.  Add three times as much corn as you intended to due to the fact that the bag is heavy and completely full.

Step 7.  Put some bread in the toaster.

Step 8.  Cook the corn/egg/taco mix, frantically praying that the extra water from the frozen corn will evaoprate before the egg gets soggy beyond repair.

Step 9.  Allow toast to go cold while waiting for the above to happen.

Step 10.  Arrange toast and egg/corn/taco seasoning conglomeration onto a plate.  Serve with coffee.

Yeah…how about NO?  Is NO good for you?  NO is good for me.

Am I the only one totally put off by Facebook’s stupid ‘personalised’ advertising?

 

*hearts* for the Old Bus Depot Markets July 15, 2008

…because they had their fibre festival on Sunday. That’s fibre as in wool and fabric and stuff, and NOT what you were probably thinking ;)

I bought up BIG on spun and un-spun wool, and now have more wool than I really know what to do with.

…in other news, I have currently in my washing machine a really fugly 80’s style woolen jumper, in pieces that should felt up into a funky bag. Plus an experiment into felted jewellery…will keep you posted, all 2 of you that seem to read this blog ;)

Also I plan to cut out the bits for my upcycled cap.  I think I am developing a hat fetish…

 

Epic Knitting…Success! July 5, 2008

If at first you fail, give it another shot and hope to hell you don’t fail again!

Made from hand spun and dyed boucle yarn from the Bus Depot markets, with a pretty white flower from Spotlight.  Oh, yeah.

Definitely a must have for today’s cracked up bank robbers with a sense of style.

I have taken up circle loom knitting. Which is the same as french knitting, except it sounds less fruity.

I decided to make a hat on the weekend and found a good pattern. Found some funky wool too.

Hat has just been finished, and it actually looks good.

…Except that it would fit a toddler well, and not me. Knew I should have added that extra 20 rows.
