...I can post photos...
...I'm cheating though...I actually created a whole new blog that's private and I'll probably never actually publish anything to it...and I upload the photos there in html mode and then cut and paste them into Affectioknit...so far it's working...I'm going to try and go back and upload photos to all of the posts I missed...but I'm a little bit daunted by that task...
...maybe I'll do one a day and post a link to it with the new post...that shouldn't be too overwhelming...
...we started with the weekly shopping...
...a lot of normal stuff...they were completely out of the little bundles of cilantro...so I gathered all of the loose bits into a bag...
...and then because it wasn't a neat little bouquet that I could put in a jar in the fridge...I needed to process it right away...
...so I took all the leaves off the stems...
...and just gave them a pulse in the food processor...
...actually a few pulses to get the consistency that I wanted...
...and then I packed it into my little muffin tin...so I could freeze little hockey pucks to use to make guacamole...
...juiced some limes...
...and spooned that over the chopped cilantro...to help hold everything together...
...ready for the freezer...
...when they were frozen...I popped them out of the muffin tin...
...and just store them in a freezer bag...and then it's easy to pull one out to make a batch of guacamole...
...and while we were out...we stopped at the thrift store...specifically because I wanted to get some of these foam mats...and I was pleasantly amazed that they actually had four of them...perfect...I love it when the universe gives me what I need...haha...and of course I picked up a couple of other things too...there was an empty bin...and I use these in the garage all the time...and a strainer that I thought would fit our Magma pot system...
...I'm going to draw white lines on this black side to make a grid pattern to pin my knitting to for blocking...
...so I took it out to the driveway...
...and gave it a good scrub...
...both sides...it's in really good shape...
...and I stood it up on the porch to get good and dry...I'll store it in the attic between uses...and I'll have to get a white sharpie to draw the grid pattern...
...and then I scrubbed the steamer basket...
...and tried it out on our pots...and the smallest ring fits the smallest pot...
...and the middle ring fits the mid-size pot...
...and the largest ring fits the biggest pot...again...I'm so thankful that the universe gave me the exact strainer to fit all my pots...
...and the final thing that I got was a pair of sweats...I just grabbed them at the last minute because I thought they were cute and would be good workout pants...I did hold them up to myself...and I liked the croppiness of the legs...and the fact that they had POCKETS...all pants should have pockets in my opinion...but the Man said those are way too big for you...and I said nonsense...they have a drawstring...
...well...they are actually rather huge...size 3X...so maybe I'll 'fix' them to fit me...but I may just re-donate them...haha...
~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!...I'm so happy to be back to posting normally...
I'm happy you can post photos again. Have you tried copy and paste from your photos album on your computer (instead of from another blog). These glitches are so annoying.
