Ah, poor whale. Still, nobody takes care of the whales who don't happen to come into London when they get sick. So maybe this one was lucky. Maybe. More famous, anyway.
Here's an uninspired shot of a thing I made:
Like everybody, I love the look of Lisa's log cabin pillows, and I was looking for a way to 'showcase' my Liberty fabrics. I use them here and there, but they sit in the fabric cupboard for the most part, and I wanted to be able to admire them.
The cushion is entirely Liberty prints, except for the back, which is made from some of the silk I bought back during the Knitting and Stitching Show. These are the red/pink hued prints; I'm planning on making another with the cooler colours. Pretty, pretty.
In case you're keeping track of these things, here's what I had for lunch:
The nuggets are Quorn's chicken-style dippers, which taste (to me) just like the chicken fingers fast-food places serve. Well, less greasy, of course. I still don't entirely trust Quorn (which doesn't stop me buying and eating it in truckloads); I think someday we'll find out that Quorn is people.
As a kid, I would have had a hard time believing I'd someday eat soy products (because 90% of children know that vegetarians are gross. I don't get it, either.) and would crave a good can of green beans. But I guess these things happen. Why, just last night I was imagining how to make crushed-peanut covered tofu squares (to be eaten with noodles and some sort of kung-pao-ish sauce). Gross.
Quorn is not people, silly. It's fungus.

Greetings! I just found your blog via the link on Yarnstorm. One of my favorite peanut sauces dishes is the Gado Gado from the first (I think ) Moosewood cookbook. If you don't have or can't find it, give a shout and I'd be glad to pass it along.
