Time Delay

So guess what I dug out of my WIP pile? (Or maybe it would be more accurate to call it the MIA pile... since I started this in 2006!) Now that the weather is cooler, the idea of knitting an afghan doesn't inspire horror and actually seems rather appealing, which is good, since the materials for this project take up an entire 78 quart storage bin.

If I finish it in time, my sweetie's parents' anniversary is in December.... On second thought, maybe I should shoot for Chinese New Year, since it IS a bed-size log cabin blanket.

Other time lapse projects include these macerated peaches in sweetened red wine. Yum! I peeled them Wednesday night and dropped them in sweetened red wine, using this recipe. It turned out to be a very tasty use indeed for leftover wine and peaches on the cusp of growing their own feet and walking around the fridge on their own.

Best of all, except for the blanching, there was no actual heat-involved cooking.

On the flip side, here is fairly easy dish which requires only a little chopping: curried pork chops with yellow peppers, apricots and onions. Therefore I found it perversely amusing to serve it all on a yellow plate as well.

Ok, since I could barely finish that sentence, it's time for bed.

More later.

Ciao!
