Warm up America

My sister Sue sent the names of two, great, how-to knitting books to the comments yesterday. In case you missed it, they are called Kids Knitting by Melanie Falick and Knitting by Judy Ann Sadler.

Check out this great website! Craft Yarn Council and Warm Up America

All of your practice swatches can be put to good use :o)

Thanks, Sue.


What's for Dinner?

This delicious recipe is on the Quaker Barley box.
All of us like it...except husband Patrick. He will have cod nuggets while we dine on...

Mexican Chicken & Barley Chili

1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon veg. oil
2 cups water
3/4 cup Quick Quaker Barley
One 16-ounce can tomatoes, undrained, chopped
One 16-ounce can tomato sauce
One 14 1/2 ounce can chicken broth
One 4-ounce can chopped greed chilies, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups, cooked chicken

Cook onion and garlic.
Add remaining ingredients except chicken.
Bring to a boil, lower heat, simmer 10 minutes.
Add chicken, simmer 10 more minutes or until chicken is warm and barley is tender.

The recipe calls for corn...but...ick...I skip it. They also call for sodium-free this and sodium-free that. Use those if you prefer. Don't use jalapenos...oh momma!

Enjoy! Eat!
