Do as I Say

and . . not as I do! So much for my for Quiltathon Saturday. Here’s how my day went:

6:15 a.m. – Up and ready to sew. Had to be quiet til Vince and Chad were awake. Cut out a few pieces and loaded a quilt on the longarm.

7:30 a.m. – Heard Vince up so I went upstairs to visit with him for a while. Decided I needed to make bread today. There’s one recipe I’ve been tempted to make but it has raisins and I hate raisins. Then I realized the raisins are all ground up so I made that. It’s the one in the pan. (And, it is yummy!)

Then I decided to make another loaf of plain whole wheat bread. The biga for that one is in the little bowl.

8:30 a.m. – Breakfast was going to be omelettes, ham and biscuits but then Vince asked for banana nut pancakes so those were quickly stirred up and cooked. The plan also was to have leftovers for lunch and grilled steak for dinner – not too much work for me.

11:30 a.m. – Vince asks for pizza. Not what I had planned for today but . . how could I say no? The recipe makes enough dough for two pizzas so I figured if I made two batches, I’d get a pizza for today and dough for three more pizzas in the freezer.

1:00 p.m. – Quick trip to the grocery store for a couple of things I need for the pizza.

3:30 p.m. – Yesterday I bought 80 pounds of wheat and it needed to be put away. Got out 30 of the half gallon jars, washed them and used them for the wheat, some brown rice and oat flour I bought yesterday.

5:00 p.m. – Kitchen is clean. Maybe I’ll go sew now.

Nope, not gonna happen. It’s Nicky‘s fault. I couldn’t stop thinking about the Sofficini she blogged about the other day. And, since I had found my pasta maker, I had no choice but to make them . . and they were so good!

Here it is 10:00 p.m. I haven’t made a single stitch today. I did have some of the Sofficini left over — enough for dessert for two nights in the future. That counts for something, right.

There’s always tomorrow, right?
