Random catch up day

So much to post about, so little time to do so. I actually have several posts that need to be written about specific things. But I had a crown put in last week and I'm on antibiotics because it was not behaving itself and I can't tell if it is the meds actually making me feel exhausted and not very good at writing well thought out posts or just a coincidence that I started feeling like this when I started taking the medicine.

So even though I have a black thumb and I probably shouldn't be in charge of the care of plants ever, I planted some. I have some basil and cilantro and some chives. And squash and zuchinni and tomatoes and a pepper of some sort. And I got so excited that they have lived for a few days I went and bought some lavendar and rosemary and my mom brought me mint. I am very excited and I pretty much want to be able to make even the tiniest bit of salsa from my "garden". I shall hope. And try not to overwater. I even bought some of that special soil that is supposed to keep me from killing them with water. We shall see.

My dog was cute so I took a picture.

I made maple fudge for my Step dad's birthday (yay Brian!). I put a little in a pan of its own. I made two full batches I didn't think he was going to miss what I took. And I added bacon to it. Those who know me know I am a mite obsessed with putting bacon into things it normally does not belong, bacon cake and bacon chocolate chip cookies for example. So I thought bacon might make a delicious addition to maple fudge. I was right. Although if you try this, I advise making sure your bacon is crispy and very well drained. The chewy bits were weird. And if you want, I can give you my fudge recipe too.

And I started these socks. I am very excited and they are coming along pretty quick. I am doing them on a really long circular needle even though I hate magic loop, but it means I can do two handed knitting on the. It really helps for that part where you change color every stitch.
