Food, GLORIOUS Food!

M's:

Okinawa soba with some sauteed yuchoy, negi and garlic with bibazu and togarashi.


Leftover sukiyaki over rice.


Pork cutlet with warm salad (roasted asparagus, garlic, carrots over greens)


Tomato sauce.

Artichokes - prepping for stuffing.

Stuffing mixture: mushrooms (minced), garlic, parsley, grated pecorino romano. salt pepper.


Steaming for 30 - 40 min over water and white wine.

YUMMY.

Unfinished Business

M's:
I finally started to work on finishing my quilt. The first one I ever started (and never completed). What got me moving to finally finish it? I bought myself an even feed foot for my sewing machine. Yay! So, you can see in the image below that I'm working in my kitchen and had just ironed the binding strips.


After quilting the layers together, you can see here I just finished squaring up my piece , again. The back of the quilt is a one fabric/pattern.


This shows the green binding after I completed my first mitered corner.


Voila, the finished piece. I decided to hand sew (blind stitch) the binding onto the back instead of machine stitch. I'm so glad it's over. Now, I can start new projects without the guilt.
