As some of you know, I had a grand plan to use felted flowers for my wedding bouquet.  This idea seemed fun, crafty, and a perfect way to personalize the wedding ceremony a bit more.

Fortunately, or unfortunately I am on a project team at work for a HUGE project with a very agressive timeline.  This means I spend most of my days in meetings, and my evenings catching up on my regular work.  This leaves little time for blogging...or much else, as a matter of fact.  So just a warning that over the next few weeks posts will be sporadic at best.

That said, Sean posted something so you could go read that.

Thanks for your patience.

Recipe Friday: Lemon and Lavender Soda

I was first introduced to Lavender Lemonade by my friend T, at her Jane Austin party (it was faboo...so many tiny sandwiches).  I was hooked on the perfumey, but fresh taste (lavender is part of the mint family) which was flowery without being cloying.

Since part of my family moved to Philadelphia, it has become a regular destination for travel.  On our first trip we of course waited in line for the obligatory cheese-steak....paying close attention to ordering conventions and praticing how we wanted our food before we got to the fast moving order takers at the counter.  Even after waiting in line 45min, I was happy.  My cheese-steak was quite good, dripping with cheese-wiz, mushrooms, and juicy steak.  My arteries on the other hand, might not agree.

Enter in the lesser know but equally, if not more delicious sandwich...Roast Pork and Broccoli rabe.

Recipe Friday: Food spotlight-Sardines!

The Goog has been ahead of the Alton Brown curve on this one.  He has been eating sardines for years, in sandwiches....usually when I'm not home.  I decided it was finally time to see what all the fuss was about.

4 day work weeks are always a little crazy.  Between that, and traveling, and a training I must attend today, I didn't have time for a good Wednesday post.  I do have a plan for Friday (little fishes anyone?) and my trip to Philly gave me a bit more fodder.  Writing up posts will be a second priority tonight...to laundry, as I am at Defon 1 on that front.  It's not pretty....or maybe it is?  I was forced to wear a skirt today.

Recipe Friday:  Reminder- Eat your Veggies (roasted)

So I don't really have a recipe today, more of a reminder.  Roasted veggies are awesome, easy, healthy and filling.

For years I have been intrigues by the look of entrelac knitting.  The basket weave pattern looked so complex, yet done with a really pretty variegated yarn, the results can be stunning.
