Cooking and knitting

Well, my work schedule is nights this week, so I wake up at 4pm and go to bed between 7am and 8am. So, yes, this post is quite early, but not to me. Anyways, had a lovely Summer Solstice. Didn't do anything specific, relaxed some, knitted, cleaned the kitchen, exercised (doing the 30 day challenge on the new Wii Active), and made a good dinner.

Here is the dinner:



It is "cornflake chicken", but instead I used regular Special K. There is a little garlic and chili powder in there, but just a hint. This was a test run and I really like them. I made them into little strips. Next is just a pasta from a package. Then some green beans, I tossed them in olive oil and garlic powder and baked them (there were carrots too, but those were for the boy, I am not a carrot fan). Yummy!



Then we have the knitting:



I started my Mom's socks for Christmas. They are a variegated olive green color. I love how it is knitting up. The yarn is Rozetti:Always Dreams, I picked it up at my local fabric store. I really like it.

  2. Lookin' good. I like using cornflakes for crust. I also like using captain crunch for coating on french toast. It's not really healthy and it's kinda touchy. The first time I made it I sort of 'darkened' the crust, but after a little more practice I'm getting the hang of it. You can make me dinner whenever you'd like :)

  3. Blech...sounds like a not-fun schedule! Chicken looks good, though.

    Hope your overnighter goes well!

  4. Have you tried carrots lately. I didn't like them growing up but I made a stew with them in there awhile back (carrots were more for flavor and the beau) but I tried them and if you steam/boil all the flavor out of them they aren't bad. Still can't stand cooked celery though.

    Look at you getting all fancy with cooking the green beans!
