We've been travelling a bit... which has made it hard for me to keep up any sense of daily rhythm... Plus between learning German and practicing piano and working out and fighting off those summer colds, I haven't had much time for other things.
I'm working on a stranded round yoked sweater... I'm partway through the stranded part, heading for the body.
I now have 2 naked looms again; I wove 5 towels on the warp I did for napkins; will post pics of those shortly. I have plans for the real napkins, plus two baby blankets and will start on that shortly.
Hoping to finish 3 of the towels, one gnome, and the table before the end of the month.... We'll see.
I found a recipe for chipotle shrimp on corncakes with salsa fresca in a Santa Fe School of Cooking cookbook. Excellent! No photos. If I make it again I'll try to reduce the butter and figure out another way to infuse the shrimp with the smokey chipotle goodness...
Speaking of the southwest, I'll put the restaurant list from our last trip in here:
Lunch:
- Atrisco's
- Kakawa (okay, we had ice cream for lunch)
- Canyon Cafe (new to us, very tasty lunch spot high up on Canyon)
- La Choza (ALWAYS a good idea)
- The restaurant at the top of the tramway in ABQ (go for the view, not the food)
- Duran Central Pharmacy in ABQ (go to Anita's instead)
Dinner:
- The Shed
- Pink Adobe
- Joseph's Culinary Pub
- Sazon
- Paper Dosa
- Mesa Provisions in ABQ (used to be Zinc, super tasty)
