Rainy weekend...

  I promised myself a restful and productive weekend.  I made apricot  pistachio scones (using Mark Bittmans' scone recipe in How to Cook Everything Cookbook), took  two long walks with the Heir and
the Spare during breaks  in weather and knit a pair of fingerless  gloves (free pattern on Ravelry).
  It was lovely....I hope your weekend was just as restful!

White Vinegar

  The water in Manhattan Beach is terrible.  The washing detergents have removed the additive that made my glassware sparkle.  It was a very murky December and January at my house   To the rescue, Heinz White Vinegar....we are sparkling again and best of all it is natural  and won't harm the environment.  A double win

Measure of a man ...or woman

  I measure  out everything...I found these pretty measuring cups, that make only being allowed a
"1/4 cup " a pleasure.  They are available at Anthropologie...

Weighing in...


  I kept to my workout schedule this week and a friend at the gym helped me with my squat positioning (thank you A), but it was a busy week  It  was a fun week though with birthdays and teas!!!
