Feliz Cinco de Mayo

Time for some major Mexican food. I'm married to a great brown guy who is a great cook. He loves to eat so he loves to cook. I think he was a mommy's boy in the kitchen.

So today we made pork tamales. His Mom's recipe from her mother in-law



So you have to have red chili sauce, olives, masa and pork. Mix the pork with the chili sauce.
You have to spread the masa on the Corn husks (hojas) then put the red chili sauce on hojas the roll up wrap with deli paper. Steam until done and serve with homemade beans.

Tuesday Blog Night

Well it's Tuesday which means it Blog night. I just updated my blog on the Staroutreachonline.com .
Star Outreach is the local non profit that has a food bank and many other community service programs. I invite you to check out the website.

Tonight is also the evening that my husband is learning to blog... So far tonight he has not asked for my help. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Trying to work on a couple of projects. I belong to a great group of women that gather monthly to work on felted wool projects. Here are a few of my small wool projects that are in all different stages of completition.

Trip with the knitting girls

My knitting girls went on a knit store adventure. A local store was going out of business and this week was 50% off. I was not in need of any yarn, but I bought a beautiful skein to make my husband a pair of socks. Here is Kat driving us home

The beauty of a Featherweight

I belong to a wonderful group of women who gather once a month and celebrate the Singer Featherweight.
The last few months we have been working on a kinda of round robin. Each month we make a block for someone in the group and then the next month we pass to another person, by the end we will each have a quilt block created by the most talented and loving women. Here is a bit of the quilts in process.
