The guild meeting went well, we got a lot accomplished. And the next meeting is (tentatively) April 18th @ 10am (for spinners) at the Greenwise Publix in Legacy Place. the Guild meeting is 11:30 - noonish until about 1 and then Knitting/Crochet from 1 to about 3.
Sandi was voted president, who'da guessed!?!? =D i'm doing assistant secretary/historian. Not too far of from doing the Public Relations stuff for ROTC in high school. (i hope).
Before i left for the guild meeting (which was way too early /sigh) i put some stuff in the crock pot to cook, Sandi and i talked about sharing recipes in our blogs, so i'm putting up my:
Crock Pot Beef Stew with Sun Dried Tomatoes!
1 package stew beef, usually comes cubed
1 small box frozen pea/carrot mix
1 can french cut green beans - drained
1-2 cups cubed Potatoes (i use white, it's what we have, red works well though)
1 large can Italian seasoned Diced Tomatoes - partially drained
1/2-1 large white onion finely chopped
1 beef bullion cube dissolved into 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup red wine1/2 cup water
1 package sun dried tomatoes
white flour for dredging potatoes
Brown the meat and put it in the bottom of the crock pot, add everything but the potatoes
dredge the potatoes in the flour and put them in a bag or bowl in the fridge, cook the stew on low for about 7 hours, put the potatoes in and turn to high and cook for another 30-45 minutes (flour thickens it, potatoes don't get soggy)
i usually serve with cornbread.
oh! and my Alice in Wonderland batts arrived /dance
The one on the left is the Queen of Hearts, the one on the Right is the Caterpillar. they're 2 ounces each (squeeeeeee) Tracking on my wheel says it'll be here tomorrow (Monday) and i'm going to practice a bit with the pound of fiber i got before breaking into these pretties.
I also now have 2 skeins of Alchemy Silk Purse in this really wonderful red/purple colorway, And no frigging clue what to do with it...Traveling Woman maybe? ideas?
