Chicken Fajitas

When I was at my sister's place a couple of weeks ago, I borrowed her copy of Jamie's Food Revolution because I was interested in seeing what it was like.  They also told me it was a pretty cool book.

I've been perusing it and thinking of which recipes to try.  I really do have to get a bit more organized to have all the ingredients on hand.  Anyway, the other night I tried his Fajitas recipe.  It was really tasty and so much better than the made up recipe I've been using for years.  I will use that recipe in the future.  I think I may have to purchase myself a copy of the book.  

About the Baby Hats

I don't think I've ever mentioned the pattern and the yarn I use for making the baby hats.  The pattern is the Umbilical Cord Hat from Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook.  It's quite a simple pattern and at this point I have it memorized I've made so many of them.  I think I've made more than thirty of them in the past few years.

With experience I've found that my favorite yarn for making the hats is Nashua's Cilantro.  I find it knits up really nicely and give the hat some stretch so it fits the small person a little longer that way.  

I've also found that if you are doing stripes you can combine it with another cotton or bamboo based yarn without as much stretch and it still turns out ok.  

Yoga Book

It't kind of funny. Last week I ha been looking at yoga books and the one I wanted was a little out of the range I wanted to pay at the moment. It was that iyengar book I was talking about before.

So of course this wee I'm given a lovely gift card for Indigo for my Birthday (which isn't until next week).

So the book has been ordered (yay) and there was enough leftover to treat myself to Season 2 of True Blood when it comes out in May.

Life is good.

Yoga Book

Last night after yoga, one of my friends that goes to the Yoga classes and I stopped of at Indigo to see about getting an Iyengar book as I've decided I really need to start trying to remember the Sanskrit names for all the poses.  We ended up having a chat with an Indigo lady who was asking us about yoga while we looked.   I didn't buy anything because the book I found that I was interested in buying (B.K.S Iyengar Yoga the Path to Holistic Health) was $50.  A little bit too much for me to spend right now.  Although I noticed that it's even more at Amazon.com.  Owie.  But it looked like a really good book.  So I'll think about getting it at some point.  Just not right now.  And there may be another couple of books written by Mr. Iyengar that might be a little more affordable.  We'll see which one I get.

We then wandered about trying to avoid purchasing a ton of books in the store as we both have book buying habits.  Although we did find one book we would buy for someone as a gift:


It was hilarious.  I think we listened to almost all the Zombie translations.  There was also another book on how to defeat your clone.
