Ups and downs and whirlwinds and all those things.

Well, I just got the news today that I was chosen for a new job! It was down to me and one other person, and they chose me! It's very exciting to feel that your professionalism as well as your experience played a part in being selected for such things.

Unfortunately this means i won't get to knit at work any more, as i will no longer be working in a call center. But it's worth it ;)

At any rate, i've been stitching away at some spring designs for Universal Yarn for next year, so i don't have a lot to share knitting-wise, so instead i'm going to share other things i've been up to... FOOD.

I recently purchased a new camera (A Nikon D3000. I got an excellent deal at a local camera shop, Murphy's Camera - looooove them, need to register for my free class soon) and 90% of what i've taken pictures of so far has been food. Of course, i'm okay with this. I love looking at pictures of food and i love cooking food, so it's been a good combination for me!

Tomatoes fresh from the garden
Fresh-From-The-garden tomatoes!


Mushrooms sauteed in butter and other wonderous things.
Pan-fried portobello mushrooms (again, i didn't make them, but i definitely ate them)

Marinating
Marinating steak. I didn't make them, and i only had a bite (i don't really eat red meat) but these were super delicious. Were i to eat a steak, i would want it to be these steaks.

Homemade Mac'n'Cheez
Homemade Macaroni'n'Cheese. I followed my mom's recipe, which isn't super fancy, but it was super delicious. I'll post it sometime soon!


Broccoli sauteed with garlic, butter, salt and pepper.
Broccoli, Sauteed in butter with garlic and black pepper (it's one of my favorite ways to prepare veggies)

At any rate, Yes. I have been eating ;)

I'm thankful to be nearing the end of my mandatory overtime stint at my current job and ready to transition into my new job! Sometime in there, i'm going to take a couple days off and just enjoy knitting for a little while ;)

I'd love to know what you've been working on and/or cooking up lately, please tell me!
