lablabi

Another yum. Tonight we had this Tunisian chick pea stew. All it takes is chick peas, harissa, olive oil, a tomato, lots of garlic, a lemon, cumin, water, and some salt. Eat with torn chunks of bread- spicy comfort food. It also made great lunch leftovers. Another plus, it's really fun to say lablabi. Sort of sounds like Bob Loblaw's law blog...ah Arrested Development...isn't there a movie coming out?  

afghans

I've been keeping my hands pretty busy this month- already finished three baby afghans (they keep me warm while I'm crocheting them). The green is just a loose shell stitch. The lavender one I used a pattern that you can get for free here. It was really easy, went quickly, and is adorable with the ribbon woven through. The blue is basically the same, but I made it a bit larger and square instead of following the dimensions of the set pattern which is a little bit narrow. I really liked making this pattern so I might stick to it for a few more...as long as friends keep having the babies. I should probably start distributing these before the kids get any older.
