Lying, not knitting
You can’t knit whilst reclining on a couch, lying longways, surrounded by cushions!!!
Stargate:Atlantis was excellent. I love it. It is one of the best spin-offs in Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV. When will the DVDs be released?? Then we watched The Phantom Menace in preparation for Thursday’s epic trip to the pictures!!!
I slept from around midnight till after 8 am and I felt relatively well so I took the Labradors for a walk!! An extra one. I tried to buy free range eggs at Coles but there were none. I should have gone to the Fruit and Veggie shop but the Labradors were in the car and they were waiting so I gave up. I have been knitting as I have been checking things on the internet: blogs I read every day, newspapers, recipes etc. I have completed 200 rows and I am on my next lot of the Fibonacci stripe pattern. I must take my new jeans to the wool shop and look for some matching wool. I have seen a few ballet style wrap around cardigans. It is what I want to knit. Not so tight ( obviously ) but a looser and longer one. I hope there might be a pattern. There is one in SnB Nation. I feel the need to knit all the time. It has overwhelmed my need to finish my quilt, embroidery and patchwork!!! And sewing?? What is that? I must look for a pattern for some shirts though. I will have to look in my culled collection of Burda books and find a few.
Definitely need a recipe today… it was chilly again today – glove weather though there was no frost.
Olive Oil Cake ( don’t turn away, be brave!!)
5 eggs ( free range, remember the cages)
150 g golden caster sugar ( I can never get this, use ½ and ½ caster and brown sugars)
50 ml light olive oil
150 g plain flour
Preheat oven to 150 C ( 130 ff) Grease and line a 23 cm springform tin
Beat eggs for about 5 minutes until pale and thick, add sugar and beat until it triples in size. Keep mixer running and add the oil in a thin stream. Then by hand, sift and fold in the flour. Bake for 45-450 minutes. It will shrink away from the side of the tin. Cool in tin for 10 minutes and then on a rack. Serve dusted with icing sugar with poached fruit.
