i love making stuff, i'd be happy making just about anything.

so along with my etsy store sales i have been making fairy wings, sourdough starter and fairy bracelets, along with several other things. saturday i started my sourdough mother. and ya know how much mothers rock. well this one is doing her thing on my kitchen counter. she is hidden from ickiness by a thin kitchen towel. she smells like guinness and bubbles at me frequently. i love the anticipation of sourdough waffles (how will i wait a week?) today i took photos of my sourdough mother, but to be honest... i spent last night in the e.r with d.s.'s dad. he put the hurt on the pad between his thumb and forefinger. he sliced it open so his thumb and forefinger are no longer attached. 12 stitches. and hello? why do these things always happen at 11:30 at night? is it so at 4:30 when you finally crawl into bed you truely truely appriciate it? it must be something like that.

for my witchery in the kitchen i used rosemary last night for our chicken stew easy peasy. one small organic chicken (yes, i buy organic meat, yes we eat less meat because of the cost, win win.) sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, stock, water, salt and pepper, and rosemary. cook say two hours in the pot, or several hours in the crock pot. fantastic i say.
