Nalbinding is an excellent for scrap yarn because it uses shorter lengths of yarn. 😍 I nalbound these with my leftover Vams yarn in the Dalarna stitch. 🧶 🪡

I made some realllllly good chicken vegetable stock yesterday. Found all frzr pkgs o'wingtips, saved bones+scraps to start the fabulosity, added wilty veg 'with good personalities', herbs, etc. Enjoyed the aroma for hours. Rescued 1 thigh before all flavor was surrendered2stock- and BOOM- lunch2day!
A tomato on a red plate, cut into eighths, with a scoop of chicken salad in the center of the pieces, evoking a flower. A small sleeve of Ritz crackers in their brownish wrapper, wait expectantly to be crunched or used as a scoop for the chicken salad.

GRILLED PB&B...warm buttery, peanutty, 'nana-y.
A gooey, not-so-guilty pleasure, with or without the bacon that makes it an 'Elvis'.

Spent my Sunday roasting this bird, and never have I been more proud. Gloria the Turkey came out moist and delicious. Now, to find different ways to use the bones, meat and gravy to provide for my household.

So I made these biscuits last week. Not the greatest, but I threw a couple in the #freezer for the future.

Well, the future is HERE, people.

Let's face it-even a BAD #biscuit reheated+buttered, under Late-AM poached eggs? Nice. 🍜🍽 🥚 #food #foodsky #cooksky #frugal #UseItAll
Munch!
It's Buh-RUNCH!♡
2 not-great biscuits, cooling on a rack, destined for my freezer (Pic from last week) 3 large eggs, poached, resting on a warm, not-great biscuit from my freezer. There is a fork resting on the edge of small white bowl containing the biscuit and eggs,which have been liberally sprinkled with salt+pepper Another view of MuhEggs

Me, about to take a bite of a hot dog i made for a late lunch. It's in a bun, topped with a mix of dijon mustard and sweet relish. Spoiler alert: it was deee-lish! 2 hot dogs topped with dijon mustard and sweet relish, set at right angles on a green-rimmed white plate. A clear Pyrex bowl containing baked beans, AND a spoon for shoveling them into my mouth,is also on the plate.

Baked stuffed tomato in small clear Pyrex casserole dish. Baked stuffed tomato on a plate. A delectable bite of my baked stuffed tomato, held up by a fork that, seconds later, made a beeline for my mouth! The crusty crispy overflow stuffing, scooped from the bottom of the casserole. It is darker brown in color, as it sorta fried in the garlic oil as the tomato baked.... which adds a nice crunch element. And only a few zillion calories. Worth it, worth it!

Red Plate Special today.
Please read ALT text for the deets, etc. I love the longform possibilities of it, and hope it's not too cumbersome for VI folks and others relying on ALT TXT on BlueSky.
A diagonally cut Egg Sandwich and Hashbrown patty on a red plate, which sits on a wooden table. The sandwich, on VERY lightly toasted and buttered Canadian White Bread (so it is still pliable), contains 2 eggs, fried until their very yellow yolks are JAMMY (not drippy, not dry). Atop the eggs is American Cheese, a sausage patty and a Hashbrown patty. It's a perfect, substantial brunch meal. 2 meals a day after copious AM coffee, is ONE way I afford my existence AT PRESENT. I'm an extremely frugal person, BY NECESSITY, but am running out of ways to cut spending! Started to write a song about it. Wanna hear it? here it goes! How do you trim more when the scissors were hocked just to pay for the gas to get to the store!? Ok, enough alt text ruminating... have a fantastic afternoon! Best, Cheryl A closer view of that light toast and sandwich contents, especially those egg yolks. A Hashbrown patty with one bite taken out of it, resting on the red plate, propped up on the sandwich.
