    What a great potato cutter that is! Too bad fries are off my list of what I can eat...

    What is that contraption for making potato fries? How will you season these? s&p only with oil or fancier?

    So good!! I found one of these at our local Goodwill store and grabbed it quick. We love it... the kids like to help press it down while I hold on. I like that it has pieces you can change the thickness, too. Although, mine is not as pretty... love that color! Have a lovely weekend!

    Oh, yum! And I love the cutter. Looks so much easy (and prettier) than doing them by hand like we do.

    Mine was a different sort of moment this week, a just for me kind of excitement:

    Oh my! My weakness - my husband's homemade wings & fries! It's terrible, but oh so yummy! I do have to ask - where can I get your contraption there? I am sincerely wanting one if you could point me in the right direction?

    The kids were labeling the sprouts this week. I guess our lil' lovie didn't think much of the lettuce he was in charge of...

    I really hope you will take a "moment" to come by! :)

    yum!
    and such a better method than my, "please don't cut me!" knifing skills while making homemade fries. :)

    oh those are the best! My husband bought me one of these and a deep fryer for my birthday last year..(I think he had a hidden agenda on that one:P) and I have to say, we can't go back to frozen fries anymore.

    Karen!!!!! Missed ya lady... Love your patina shawl--faaabulous !!!! And look at that cool fry cutter!!!! Btw, I will need your knitting expertise. Messed up on the armpit holes on my sweater. One side is nearly two inches longer than the other!! Aaagh! Wondering if I can just fudge it when I bring the seams together....will have to email you separately when I find more time, probably after we find a place to live....
    happy weekend to you!

    Totally wishing I could try on your shawl. Super envious. I need this -- wondering if I could find one for a Kitchenaid. Nonetheless, lovely picture that makes my mind spin to hamburgers and pickles and salt and.......

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
