This weeks entry is sure to delight! I call it the Thong-pod. Made with baby blue acrylic yarn and sporting a bright orange pocket made from simply soft yarn, with wispy tassels attached at the top & bottom. Edging with Caron’s Bliss in hot pink. This Thong-pod can be used to carry your i-pod, cell phone, grocery list or anything not to “weighty” in the pocket. Enjoy!
Th-Th-Thong A Long Th-Th-Thursday
Think, Thinking, Thought
Can you believe this year is half over? That amazes me. Seems like we just welcomed 2006 in and now its rolling down hill. I’ve decided to start next month (july) making Christmas gifts. Why? Because, as hard as I try, I’m not a last minute person. Maybe it was all those years of intense band camp and having to be on time or face the consequience. I’m always thinking ahead, planning things out in my mind, and setting everything in order. Doesn’t always go the way I plan it, but at least I have a running thought about stuff. So… that said. I’m thinking several doilies, as usual, some angel toppers, and ornaments for the trees, and some dishcloth sets too. Last year I made those angel dishcloths, and they came out very well. Its a free pattern from Priscilla Hewitt’s Crochet.
I’m searching for angel topper and dishcloth patterns this morning. If anyone has a suggestion lemme know. I’m open for all ideas. On a lighter note, the pool hit 90 yesterday. It feels soooo good. We swam until about 9pm last night. It was great. Hopefully, we will get the hot tub plumbed in pretty soon. That is so yummy when it gets cold outside. Something about cold air, and sitting in hot water. Its groovy. Kids have discovered the joys of a “spirograph” we found at a thrift store yesterday. best 50 cents I’ve spent in ages. Can you belive it was a vintage game, made in 1967 and still had most all the parts, and the original manual? I confess, I’ve been playing with it too. HEH. Have a great weekend ya’ll.
Foodie Friday~ Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob
Ingrediants:
8 ears corn
1 pound bacon
Gently pull back the husk exposing the corn. Do not remove the husk. Remove the corn silk and use a brush to make sure all the silk is removed. Soak the corn with the silks removed in water for 30 minutes. This will prevent the husks from charring.
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Remove from the water and pat dry. Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around the corn. Fold the corn leaves back over, covering the bacon and corn. Tie the leaves with butcher string and repeat the process for each ear of corn. Place the ears of corn on the hot grill and cook, turning occasionally until bacon is cooked and corn is tender, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

I have all kinds of wild ideas running thru the old noggin. Be sure to check back each Thursday for my Thong a long Thursday submission! Wear a THONG you cant go WRONG!

One Word is All I Ask
Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me–it can only be one word long. Then copy and paste this into your blog so I may leave a comment about you.This is not so much about fishing for compliments as it is an exercise showing how hard it is to use just one word to describe someone! When I try, I keep thinking up phrases or at the least, two words. Give it a try & I’ll do the same for you if you’re so inclined.

Foodie Friday
Chocolate gravy.
Yes, it is bad for you. If you eat it everyday. Yes, it has sugar. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be evil. Yes, yes, yes….. I know several ways ppl make this treat. . Been making it the same way since I was 9 years old. This is a Sunday morning treat around here. Everyone looks forward to Chocolate gravy Sunday. ( i have a homemade biscuit recipe, a few posts down…that would sure go nice with this, too)
1 cup fat free milk
1 cup sugar ( u can use 3/4c. but no lower as it gets icky bitter)
4 tbs cocoa. (I use hershey’s, u can try carob powder tho)
1 tsp butter.
in a medium saucepan, combine dry ingrediants and mix. Add milk and cook over med. high heat until begins to bubble. This syrup has a rise-and-fall in the pot. Keep stirring it, and it will begin to rise up in the pot, keep stirring. eventually it will begin to fall back down to the beginning level. When it gets there (usually about 5 minutes) its done. Take off heat, pour up in some cutegravy boat, and add the butter and stir. This is wonderful over crumbled biscuits. Also, use the left overs for ice cream, smores, or save for those leftover biscuits as a good midnight snack. Gosh, that sounds bad… heh. Try it. this is some good stuff!
Happy Foodie Friday!
