Chicken Tetrazzini!

BEFORE
Inspired by The Soup, I decided to make something a bit more complicated than what I usually cook (i.e. 5 minute stir-fry). Chicken Tetrazzini!

The recipe is from that toothy lady Giada DeLaurentiis on Foodnetwork.com.

I must say it turned out pretty well. Marc isn't particular with his food so needless to say he didn't have any complaints.

Hmm...what should my next big dish be?
AFTER
(I should have photoshopped it a bit but I was too lazy).

Knit Wit


It's summertime in New Zealand but that's not stopping me from knitting my little fingers off.

The pattern for this Police Line scarf was what got me into knitting in the first place. I bought a couple of copies of Craft Magazine in Booksale years ago but it's only now I got the courage to try Fair Isle knitting. It's not as difficult as it seems but it's definitely messy.

I knitted the scarf for myself but as soon as Marc saw it, he *arbored it. Grr... What's worse is, it looks better on him too!

Then I wanted to knit another two color project. So I borrowed an Intarsia knitting book and did the easiest thing. It's a bit late for Halloween, but maybe next year I'll have made a whole cat suit. Hehe. *cat sound!*

*I know for non-Filipino speakers that link doesn't help define the word but I thought I'd put the link anyway.
