Day 8/NaBloPoMo

I'm insane because I want to crochet a whole bunch of gifts for christmas. After doing that last year I toootally wasn't going to do that this year because I ended up sitting in a café trying to finish a few days before christmas.

I ended up putting them and making sandwiches. This was pretty good. The dish itself actually turned out fantastic, even though I had ...

I didn't cook a whole lot during the Halloween costume/event rush, nor the week and a half after that when I was weaving every few days.
