I have a new Tumblr now. I will post in it more often than I have been in this one, at least for a while, and it will be about things other than food, knitting, and my cat. (It will sometimes also still be about those things.)

bakingclub: Hey, I made some cookies. I’ve actually been doing a lot of the things I tend to post about lately, just… not posting about them.  Coming in the near future: more cookies, a skirt, some embroidery, a sweater (once I block it). This isn’t a blog about my personal life, but for the sake of clarity I should mention that I moved at the end of August and am now...

Theory
My lace knitting might progress a lot faster if I didn’t stop every 30 seconds to admire it.

Let's talk about mawata!
When I posted a picture from my mawata class on Friday, Sara asked: “what are you making? that does not look like knittable material to my poor inexperienced eyes!” This is the story of a silkworm: it is born, it eats a huge amount of mulberries, and it spins a cocoon around itself. Then, assuming for our purposes that it lives in a silk-making factory, its cocoon is baked or boiled,...

I'm so lucky.
Bryan made me the BEST dinner tonight. He cooked sous-vide filet mignon (using a cooler) — the most perfect steak I’ve ever had — along with brussels sprouts braised in Oktoberfest beer and Joël Robuchon’s pommes purée. We paired the meal with a good IPA. I should’ve taken a picture, but I was too excited to eat! This sous-vide method has obvious limitations, but...
