These felt pouches have been driving me crazy, simply because I cannot get a good picture of them. It doesn't matter how good the lighting is, they soak it all up and look either over saturated or dull. In person, the felt is quite lovely (if I do say so myself), and it's really fun to make -- easy and satisfying.
A couple weeks ago, we had a plastic ready-to-steam container of fresh, shelled green peas in the fridge. We never wound up eating them, and when I finally decided to throw them away, they hadn't gone moldy; they'd sprouted. I filled an empty coffee can with dirt and planted four, and two really started to grow.
I've taken a photo of the bigger sprout; I'm not sure if it will actually grow into a plant as A) it's in a coffee can and B) it's the middle of November, so there's not that much sun. Still! Green garden gumballs, as my dad would say (and probably will).
Lastly, Rob's favourite: pancakes.
It's difficult to make pancakes look appealing when they're covered in syrup (they tend to just look. . . damp), but these were pretty nice.
Ooooh! I like the blue little purse. And I like the blueberry pancakes. Lucky Rob!
