BOOKISH FRIDAY, et al

 

A new quilt book has landed
in my mailbox!! 

My reasoning (excuse really!!)
hahaha--
like I need any more quilt books!!
R E A L L Y???
👧😇
is that I have a ton of Charm packs
and want to begin whittling them
down as I've made a big dent in
my mini charms now....

See those page markers???
I have marked 
NINE
out of the 18 quilt patterns
in here that I really
would love to make!

This has to be some 
kind of record
👀💫
for a single book...

***********************
Tonight I am making 
"Magpie's Mumblings" 
(see her blog for recipe)
↡↡↡↡↡
"Smoked Sausage Foil Packets".

I am using Sweet Italian
sausages and having Tom
pre-partial-cook them on
our grill before I incorporate
them (sliced) into the foil packet.  

[For some reason I
cannot fathom
putting RAW
meat of any kind 
alongside veggies,
touching each other,
like those Sheet Pan type recipes..
And these packets will have raw
potatoes and peppers and onions..]

ANYWAAAAY..
that's just me...;))

****************************
Right now we are watching the
Austrian Practice for the
Sunday Grand Prix while we have
our 2nd cuppa coffee...
A slow start for us on
this rainy and muggy
morning.  
****************************
We are in "cleaning/prep
mode" for my daughter and her family's
Sunday visit...

A late celebration of the twins'
graduating High School
when I will give them their 
"Going Away To College"
quilts...

Tom is making his spaghetti sauce
which will be accompanied by
salad and garlic bread
and followed by 
Italian Gelatos and
fancy cookies and brownies
for dessert...

Yesterday I did all the grocery shopping
and today will begin the "picking up" phase.
I am so excited to be seeing my
grandchildren all together here.
AND
catching up
at long last....
👏👏👏👏

That is where I am right now...;)))
