hearts, roses, a finished project, Sunday dinner & the paper!

Yes!  the jacket is finally finished!   still trying to get used to the new camera... guess I need to devote some time to it!  but the year is 2011 & new cameras don't come with owner's manuals... everything is in the camera or online... wish I could just sit down & read the instructions... not in this day & age! 




As you know, yesterday I started my new eggplant (maroon, the exact color of St. John's Gammar School uniforms!  do you remember it?) colored dress... see McCalls pattern below, long sleeve view!  I'm still getting used to my new size!  definitely bought the wrong size pattern... cut it down to a 10/12 (ready to wear 6/8), the skirt is okay?!? need to sew down the pleats & the top needs to come in about 2"... a project for tomorrow night!  tonight I'm reading the Sunday paper!



 Last night, I was reading thru some magazines & found a great recipe for  "Mexican corn bread pizza" in Healthy Cooking (Apr/May 08) ... OMG!!!  with a little tweeking... used 93% lean ground beef & a can of drained Mexican style corn with black beans... it was delicious!!  yummo!  yeah... a new addititon to our monthly menu! 

and as you can see... a single layer Chocolate fudge heart shaped cake for me & my honey! used only one whole egg & 4 egg whites... light & fluffy!  we already had a piece each... may be our TV snack tonight too!  thank goodness I walked 4 miles today or I wouldn't be able to fit in my clothes tomorrow! 

hope everyone has a delightful evening.. and be sure to let everyone in your life know that they are loved tomorrow!  Happy St. Valentine's Day!  xoxo
