Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Not feeling terribly creative, point form will have to do. My week taught me:

  • Quinoa in its raw form, spilt in the kitchen, has the ability to jump and hide in every nook and cranny and will most likely be discovered for years forward.
  • Quinoa, cooked, spilt in the kitchen, resists wiping up, clutching firmly to it's landing spot.
  • Delivering a comfort shawl: a mother's grief never loses its sharp edge. And rightfully so.
  • An example of friendship that went above and beyond normal bounds, one sharing a kidney with his buddy, still in his 20's.
  • It feels good to frog a stalled project, 350 meters in.
  • It's easier to walk 10,000 steps than to walk an hour and forty minutes. Go figure, they're both five miles.
  • Dancing Merengue is a good way to accumulate pedometer steps.
  • There are few places more beautiful than British Columbia in a good summer.
  • Babette is a cute name for an endless project:

    Did your husband “accidentally” spill the quinoa when he found out you were making it? I’ve used it in several recipes and like it; husband not so much.

    Quinoa can’t be trusted dry or cooked.
