Here She Comes

Very exciting news: Debbie Stoller, author of Stitch n' Bitch and Stitch n' Bitch Nation, is coming to Knitorious!

Details:
Date: Friday, February 25
Time: 6:30 (Debbie will give a short talk at 7:00)
Where: Knitorious yarn shop in St. Louis, MO (directions on website)
Hors d'oevres and beverages will be served, and Debbie will sign copies of her books.
[added: Sandy will have copies of Debbie's new book available for purchase.]

In other news: I have no knitting to share. My knitting time has been converted to nap time. I am still keeping my Kool-aid yarn near to me at all times; it spends a lot of time on my nightstand next to my bed. I did do a few inches on the Here and There cabled scarf, but it's not worth taking a picture of at this time.

I do, however, have food to share:
Tomato Meat sauce: (again, we got the boring recipe, but did it to shame)


gnocchi:


gnocchi board I just had to buy after learning how much fun it was:


tomato meat sauce on spaghetti with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (too tired to make gnocchi at home):


Again, our grade as given to us was "Yummy!" However, my teacher has taken to calling me "Smartypants" and giving me a hard time for already knowing how to do everything in class. (You answer ONE question correctly, and you get all harassed about it.) I think it means I'm his favorite. ;)

Mmmm. Looks good. I gave into temptation and went to Penn Station for the monthly special for dinner.

Looks good! I hope to make it to Knitorious. Maybe I should go buy her book so she could sign it!

OK, I've had no appetite to speak of since this chest cold settled in - but that sauce? YUM. Makes me wish I wasn't having boring ol' soup tonight!
Curious about the gnocchi board, and if it's easy to make? We love gnocchi & I've never gone the route of making it - despite all my other kitchen & pasta gadgets!
