  • chez pim: Pad Thai for beginners
    Not only does this sound uber-tasty, it also includes instructions on seasoning a wok. I need to hit up the asian market around the corner and make me some of this.

  • Reproductionfabrics.com - reproduction fabrics of 1750-1970
    I'm not wild about most of the fabrics they have, but the "Nature's Palette" line looks good. They have a "sampler" for $3.75 which should be good enough to decide if they're right for my purposes

In Texas? http://devlogic.org/2007/01/29/a-cloak-in-texas/ http://devlogic.org/2007/01/29/a-cloak-in-texas/#comments Mon, 29 Jan 2007 09:05:45 +0000 devlogic http://devlogic.org/2007/01/29/a-cloak-in-texas/ Yeah, so I might just be insane. But the concept of wearing a cloak just appeals to me for some reason. Trouble is, it's tough to find the right fabric when you don't really know what you're doing. I've been looking around online for the last few hours, and I've found prices that made me wince ($32.50 per yard for wool) and lots and lots of quilting "fat quarters" (which are virtually useless for making full-size garments). I've found sites that recommend looking for coating remnants, sites that recommend wool, wool/polyester blends, heavy cotton, wool/acryllic blends, fleece, not fleece, you get the picture.

    So I think I may have to wait for my lovely bride-to-be to come back from Bedford (which, granted, should only be about a 10-15 hour wait), and talk this over, see if we can figure out the right terminology I can use to refine my search. I've already got a pattern (or two) that should do for starters, although it might be a good idea to get some muslin so I can make a mock-up on the cheap, just to see how it wears. Especially since I'm very inexperienced with this sort of thing (sewing).

    The more I look into this project, the more I start to wonder if it'd be worth my time. I may give up on it by the end of February, or I might get even more hard-headed than normal about it; only time will tell.

  • Weekday Happy Hour: The Jack Rabbit - Slashfood
    This is more of a "make a pitcher of this for a big party" drink, rather than a "mix one up after work" drink. Might be worth trying some day though.

  • Something in Season (Sausage and Lentil Soup)
    Well, I like lentils, I like tomatoes, and I like Italian sausage. I think this one looks like a winner. Especially if the temperature plummets again next week.
