I've been spending a lot of time indoors stitching on both a model and giving my Lucy Redd sampler a little love. It seems like I've been working on this sampler forever between stitching models and other projects but I'm thinking that I might actually finish it....someday.
We've found great deals on strawberries and blueberries lately. DH has been making variations of strawberry sorbet:
I got into the strawberry "act" too and made some strawberry freezer jam like my mom used to make.
I braved the heat and made some blueberry muffins to take to our sons in Austin, DH asked me where ours were. Sigh... I made some more this am. Making the sorbet and freezer jam was definitely a better idea than turning the oven on in this heat!
Lastly, someone on one of my FB foodie groups recently posted a tomato sandwich. Apparently somebody rudely commented something along the lines that a "lowly tomato sandwich" wasn't good enough to post on that group. It was immediately pointed out something like "If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything." (That group is supposed to be a positive place on FB.) In support, others started posting tomato sandwiches and then we decided that yesterday was official tomato sandwich day on the group. Here's my "contribution"...an open faced BLT with cheese using 7 grain bread, mayo, romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, and some beautiful tomato slices. It was delicious if I do say so myself!
Happy stitching (and eating)!
