Fried Squash

Trying to eat up the squash and I came up with this! It was great! Fried squash and onions with some flour, egg, and cornmeal. Of course, after cooking this my kids wanted pancakes. So, I used the same oil and they had (pretty much) deep fried pancakes.....with maple syrup.

Style

I love letting my kids dress themselves. Less work for me and they have a much better sense of style. This pic also shows how Eaden cut Naia's hair on the right side of her head. Classic.

What to Cook?

A good friend of mine had a lot of veggies left over from CSA this week and gave them to me! Now what to cook? Any ideas?

My Disaster Quilt

Okay, I'm going to expose myself as an idiot. Please keep your laughter to a minimum. This is my first "quilt." I decided that I didn't need instructions or to take any measurements. I could rely on my own brain (which it turns out is quite small). The quilt was originally much larger with a large and fairly even purple border. However, I sewed the batting to the wrong side of the fabric. Again, no instructions here. Relying on my own brainpower. So, instead of pulling out stitches around the entire thing, I just cut. Then I sewed the remaining parts together, the right way. I decided not to bother with basting and so the fabric bunched up a lot and I just kept going. Isn't it beautiful? Surely, a one of a kind. Maybe I could open up a disaster quilts etsy shop...

This Moment

A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor, and remember. Thanks Soulemama
