quiet Sunday knitting
Sometimes the week gets so busy that I can't get to meet my friends for our usual knitting get together. Of course, everyone needs a little quiet time,so when this happens I sent out the teatime flag and head out to a favorite Tea Shop.

When you're looking for a little pampering ......this is the go to place. Two weeks ago, I sent out the alarm that I needed a break. Friend June and daughter Sarah came and sat in those lovely highback chairs. Projects were started and new skills were learned.
Also on the couch was Jean .As it turns out she is no longer able to come on Tuesday night so this was a perfect time to catch up. There is always something new at the tea shop. And talk about being treated like a queen.If you're in the mood for something different this is the place to go. With fall being in full swing I can't wait to try his CREAMY CARAMEL CAPPUCINO W/SEA SALT. Unless of course I happen to be more in a cider frame of mind then I could go for the CARAMEL APPLE CIDER. Where is the tea you say? Fall tea would be the CARROT TOP....CARROT CAKE ROOIBOS LATTE WITH HAZELNUT. I think I feel another Sunday afternoon tea time coming on. Oh did I tell you Emmett has made lemon scones with orange glaze ?See you there.....................said the hobbit

from the pantry
Corn season is quickly coming to an end............so sad. I've purchased extra for winter chowdah.
A quick 4 minutes in boiling water and an icy bath. Take the kernels off the cob.
Pack in 1 or 2 cup servings and place in a freezer bag.
Don't forget to save the cobs ........lots of flavor and vitamins left in there. I've been known to toss one in my veggie broth. Put a cob in with your potatoes when you plan on mashing them to top a casserole and your "people" will be stumped as to what that great flavor is.Do you have any secrets to share.......said the hobbit?
