Yesterday, I watched March of the Penguins (again... I love this movie and I love adding silly dialog to the different penguins even if whole scenes are just penguins saying, Food? Food?), when I sort of ran out of knitting.
Vestish is done with the main knitting portion. I need to sew up the sides, so I can do the edging. I didn't do it today, and I certainly wasn't doing it during the movie. Instead, I started a new project.
I'm working on the little shells socks (I think that was what it was called, but I am way too lazy to check) from The Knitters Book of Yarn. It's so far looking like a good fit for my last 2 skeins of Dorchester Farms sock yarn, and the start for these socks isn't very fiddly feeling for toe ups. I'm speeding my way to the heel, and hope to get to the lace portion sometime this weekend.
I'm embarking on a new ice cream experiment. I made tequila sautéed bananas in the slow cooker, which I'm planning on pureeing with lime zest and lime juice to make a tropical margarita ice cream. That will be finished tomorrow. I needed the bananas to finish cooling before I added anything to the ice cream maker. I've made banana 'ice cream' before, so this should work at least as well as that recipe (which is pretty much take 4 ripe bananas, puree them and then toss the puree into an ice cream maker... really cheap dessert). We'll see. I am a little behind on my ice cream making for the summer, so maybe I'll make another one this weekend as well. It's either that or go to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream sometime when I'm in Boston.
Maybe I'll do both.
