A Delicious Dinner

For my Albuquerque friends or anyone planning a visit to Q-Town, a locally-owned restaurant, Scalo Nob Hill, hosts a Wednesday Wine and Dine that is fabulous.  This is every Wednesday, mind you.

Start checking their website on Saturday (it varies when they post the next Wednesday's menu):  www.scalonobhill.com.

Here is the menu for this past Wednesday:

And here's a a pic for each of the four courses.  Each course is paired with wine matched to the food.

The butter lettuce with roasted carrots:

Tuna crudo with heirloom tomatoes:

The main course:

And, the delicious dessert;

All this for the amazingly fair price of $29.50, before tax and gratuity!

Well, it's been a while....Purrito Wrappers

Sorry, everyone.

Let's just say I underestimated what was involved in maintaining a blog,

So, I'm giving it another shot, starting with my most recent project.

I've become a big fan of a live stream on YouTube:  Kitten Dorm.  The couple foster orphan kittens and momcats with kittens.  I've been doing some modest support, including making paperbag albums for each of the kittens and momcats.  (Tutorial and photos in a future post.)

Most recently though, I wondered what else I could make and asked Kitten Dorm what they needed.

Out of that e-mail came a shopping list for SewExpo (www.sewexpo.com) -- this fabric:

From the fabric I made these:

This is half of the batch -- all backed with flannel.  They can be used as wrappers for just bathed kittens or as a soft mat for kittens to sleep on

Three of the wrappers will go to Kitten Dorm and the rest will go to CatLove Rescue, with which Kitten Dorm is affiliated.
