The American Bistro Series On Kitchen Chronicles

The blooming Purple Shamrocks

I gave that little plant up for dead several months ago. I took the dried up crock and placed it outside on the patio to be emptied and tossed. I got busy. Then....guess what, we had grown into a beautiful plant again. Rain soaked and warmed by the Sun, my neglect caused rebirth. There you go, moral of the story-don't give up!

There has been NO sewing in Sewtopia for about 4 weeks now. Between the garden, raising Miss Lola (also known as Dogzilla) as well as moving Granny to assisted living, time is something I don't have. 

Of course the garden will not wait, as everything reaches its peak pickles need to be made, vegetables need to be preserved and eaten. Over on Kitchen Chronicles I have added three new recipes using the garden bounty in a simple-to-prep American Bistro Style. I have had the pleasure of dining in many American Style Bistro's and the emphasis on fresh is the hall mark of the genre. The recipes over there are for Roasted Vegetable Soup, Chickpea Summer Salad and Fresh Shrimp Cakes. Just click on this link to visit.

The Google Fix for the search errors on this blog has me confused. I have no idea what they are measuring or why. Don't plan to change much of anything. So, we are back as time permits and that is the key factor, time. I am in a bit of a spin for many reasons and setting aside the time and energy to sew right now is not a priority. But.....we will be around, doing what we can. I have more ideas than I will ever complete, I have projects ready to go but Miss Lola just cannot come with me to the studio. Too many temptations there.
