New Bag
Finally got this bag done. It’s not perfect, but I think it turned out fairly well. I’d never knitted an attached I-cord before. The idea is to use it to bring in vegetables from the garden.

Wondering about Cassis………
I keep a cat calendar on my desk at work. A few weeks ago there was a cat that looked very similar to Cassis. It was a Burmese. I started reading about Burmese and found that Cassis has many if not all of the personality characteristics. For anyone who has met him, you know that he is extremely social (unlike the other two). He is also very vocal and loves to play “fetch” with toys. He sometimes brings the toy back to you around 20 times!

This is really good. It would be good for a cold winter’s day, unlike today!

New Kitchen Shelves
We went to Lowes and bought these. I have so many cool kitchen gadgets that this works out well!

Very good!
This is great! I’m not a huge fan of tuna, mostly because there is mayo involved in tuna salad. Until I read in RR’s issue this month that she uses lemon juice and EVOO in place of mayo. So I found this recipe. Enjoy!

I just made this scarf for a friend.
The Grocery Game
I’m trying a new system to reduce our grocery bill. I heard about the grocery game at work and decided to try it. Today I went to the store and saved $25.18. Not bad for my first try!
It costs about $1.25 per week. You put in your zip code and then choose the store you shop at. You can also choose more than one store, even drug stores (for an additional cost). They give you a list of sale items in the store plus where to find manufacturer coupons. It helps to stockpile some items.
