Also working on some valentines day necklaces. I have no idea how to promote this stuff, I guess just word of mouth.

granny hexagons

I just learned to crochet granny squares, now onto the granny hexagon. One day in the distant future this will be a colorful warm blanket. I better get to work.

Here is a great tutorial to make your own!

Have you heard of Meatpaper Magazine?

I sometimes shelve it at my job, and I noticed it in the window of Belmont Butchery. It is a really neat magazine about, well, meat. And not recipes or barbeque tips, but the beauty of it, really. I guess I never thought meat was beautiful - and I still don't really - but this magazine casts it in a whole new light.

I was talking to my brother yesterday and he mentioned that the older he gets, the more he cares about eating deliciously. When he came to visit, we went on a little foodie tour of Richmond, and I had the opportunity to try some things I've never had before. I'd never had a bbq pulled chicken sandwich before I had one at Buz and Ned's. And I tried my first fried catfish, brussel sprouts, and NY sirloin at Comfort.

While enjoying a gyro "battleship" at the Black Sheep, I said aloud - I feel sorry for vegetarians. I definitely understand where they are coming from, but it's not for me.

I love meat!
