Knitting and Reading


Finished up a doll I made for a neighbor and am now working on some cotton dish cloths and am still waiting inspiration to get started on a bigger project.

I have just started Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler and am looking forward to reading her viewpoints on cooking healthy with economy and simplicity.  Have you read this book?  What did you think?

  1. Tonya, you are going to love An Everlasting Meal; I read it on my Kindle and loved it so much I bought hard copy because I needed to hold those words in my hand!

  3. I started Everlasting Meal just before our big temporary move. I brought it with us, but have yet to revisit it. I think I wait because I want to have time to savor her ideas and wisdom.

  13. So funny! I just finished a sweater and started knitting the same basket-weave cotton dishcloths as an "in-between" project to knit in the van. In fact, the blue one there looks just like one I am working on today! Haven't read the book, but it sounds like a good read.

  17. Love that doll. And some cotton dishcloths are on my to do list. I was noticing the other day how truly nasty ours are. The topic of the book sounds like something I would enjoy. I will have to see if it is available through our library. Blessings ~ Elizabeth

  18. Your doll is darling! I'm waiting for inspiration too, though I'm thinking that the Tea Leaves Cardi may be the next big project. Kinda nervous about it though.

  19. I just read the book. It was well written, I liked the approach, but didn't find it revolutionary. Of course, all our new food obsessions (local, organic, low in additives) are nothing new, but rather going back to what we always knew! When I read statistics about food waste in America, I believe them. But it has never been true in my house. Last night's leftovers become my lunch, nothing gets shoved to the back of the fridge, lemons get juiced and zested. If I don't use it right away, it goes in the freezer and is there when some bananas are going brown and it's time to make banana bread. Really what she's writing about is common sense for the diligent homemaker.

  20. By the way, check out Blood, Bones and Butter. It's a wonderful (if a bit coarse) memoir of an upcoming female chef whose also a great writer!
