Knitting for Lili

My Aunt Virginia is adopting a baby girl. While we are waiting for her to be born, I am furiously knitting. The above socks were knit in the magic loop style from a pattern on ravelry. I also just finished blocking Claire Montgomerie's Matinée Jacket.

Downtown Brooklyn, it's on

I saw a man challenge a city bus to a dance off.

Sweet liquor to dull the pain

Last week, Patrick and I made risotto all'ammiraglia from Lidia Bastianich's book La Cucina di Lidia. After having dinner at Felidia with my good friends, I decided to make risotto.

I used shrimp stock instead of water and I think it turned out fairly well.

I think next time I will steam the clams whole instead of shucking them. I found it tedious and unnecessary.

What's the nerd, nerd up.

Better late than never, I suppose. This blog is a collection of my ramblings, impressions, photos, cooking experiments, knittery, and all purpose navel gazing. Here is a list of some of the things I love in no particular order:

lists
karaoke
mirepoix
my peeps
luchedors
my standing mixer
seed stitch
the luggage set in The Darjeeling Limited
when Annie Lennox is "on"

That is all.
