Daily Notes- November twenty seven


Basically Pasta.  From Bon Appetite.com.

And what they are actually writing about is the Le Creuset cast iron "pot" which is really that good for mixing pasta and sauce.  It's really that good for everything you cook.  I have three in graduated sizes.  The largest one is quite heavy to lower into the oven with a few pounds of chuck for pot roast.
The use of the tongs might make scratches.  Unless the tips of the tongs have those rubbery covers. Which I hate.

Dinner yesterday (still eating T'day leftovers) was interrupted by the news that G's brother had died suddenly and unexpectedly.  R was a really sweet guy.  Thoughtful, funny and kind.  We didn't see him much but when we did--it was great.  It's very sad to think we missed out on so many years with him and now...well, regret is worse than death, isn't it?

So--don't be left with regret.  Call someone you like (love) but don't see often.....

Yesterday snow.  Today rain. We shoveled the wet soppy mess off the driveway--finishing at 4pm--so that the overnight cold won't make all the slush into permanent lumps in the driveway--slippery frozen lumps.

I didn't pull a word for the day out of the jar this morning.  I forgot.  And I'm feeling tired.  I did find time and energy to stitch on my second tea bag surface..... I think I may get the hang of this "new" surface on the third or fifth try.  Difficult learning curve.  Stitching on paper.  On the first two--I learned a few things NEVER to do again and fewer things that work really well.  But I have plenty of batting scraps and washed and dried tea bags.

And that Mars thingy landed safely after 6 months of travel time.  I hope it sends great pictures after they remove the lens dust covers.  I love space and pictures of the planets.  Really. Love. Space.
