And all they gave me was Elavil, those bastards!

Inspired by @BiBunny and her pretty crocheting, I tried some crocheting myself, too. I made a weird mistake and then realized it looks kinda nice when repeated. I made a waffle!

I don’t know what to do with my newfound waffle crocheting skill, though.

 

[twister947]

Coffee with an old friend. We sat at her kitchen table and caught up on each other's lives. It was lovely.

Yo my dudes, I have learned to crochet by accident!!!! The key to happiness has been ditching all instructions and just following my gut instinct and logic. I can’t believe this is happening.

So far I’ve made a tube with a thumb hole, so maybe I can turn this into a mitten somehow? It’s not perfect, but damn, it’s better and more complex than what I’ve ever managed to do until now.

They are wrist warmers!
As the try to save on heating in offices and homes the demand will soar.
Don’t make them mittens, make a fortune!

You know, when I worked in the old place, the office would get really cold in the winter sometimes and some people wore wrist warmers like that.

I already mittened up the one I posted, just the thumb is missing. But I’ll definitely have to make some wrist warmers for myself now with this newfound waffle skill I possess. I don’t think I’ll sell any because that means I’d have to be able to make a matching pair and just the thought of that is completely laughable.

But Bunny totally should add wrist warmers to her Etsy repertoire!

Yay, seela! That looks great. Much better than my first attempt at a pair of wrist warmers, lol.

I actually really like making them. I just haven't put any in my shop because I only have my hands to use to size them, and I have giant ape hands. So they'd be way too big for most people, lol. But I do like making wrist warmers, especially with a matching hat or matching ear warmer!

My friend bought me an art book they thought I would like. I thought that was so nice of them!

The last place I worked was terrible when it came to heating. That’s why I know how useful they are. And how much you pay for them!

I was going to suggest it as a complement to the chrismassy stuff, but I thought it would be sold locally so I didn’t think it might work. Though the ice wind air conditioners in some places…

We could send you measurments.
I buy kid sized gardening gloves, so I’m the other exteme but there have to be some people in the middle.

I’ve been kind of bed bound for a couple of days and the highlight of my day is waking to find my kitty laying on my legs. Every couples of hours and it feels so cute!

My bacon jam, it's soo good.

bacon jam

You can’t just put those two words together without further explanation?!

There isn't much more to add. It's jam...out of bacon. Bacon jam.

• 850 g breakfast bacon
• 250 g shallots
• 2 Spanish onions
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
• ½ tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp Sriracha
• 120 ml Whiskey
• 120 ml maple syrup
• 60 ml balsamico vinegar
• 125 g brown sugar

You cut the bacon into small pieces, then fry it properly crispy. It takes awhile (like 45 minutes I think, but I'm not using much heat so it doesn't burn). Then remove the bacon and drain the fat. Then stew the onions with the garlic and two tbsp from the bacon fat, add the whiskey and reduce it and add the other stuff. Let it simmer for a moment, add the bacon and reduce it further till the right consistency.

This will give you about 6 small 120ml glasses full of bacon jam.

I’m not known to be patient for mor than a New York minute when I’m curious, so google already told me it’s like Verhackertes.
That recipe sounds interesting though with the two kinds of onion, sriracha and the extra smokey touch from paprika and whisky.

It takes awhile (like 45 minutes I think, but I'm not using much heat so it doesn't burn).

That kind of cooking, like making a roux for example can be nicely meditative, if you get in the right frame of mind, I think.
