When you're hungry...

 So... Brian at work was lamenting that he was in a food rut lately... so I suggested Indian.  BUT... did we have anything that would work for an after-work meal?  We did have a big ol' bag of spinach.  Saag paneer?  Perfect!  Uh, no paneer, no garam masala, so... we made it!  Seriously, Paneer is not tough, give it a try.. hot milk + lemon juice and voila!  Garam masala... oh, its a blend of many of the spices we do have... handy (thank you internet!).  Anyhow, in the end, it was awesome, it was pretty and it was yummy!

 Washed down with Brian's Raspberry Wit and Wit beers.  He makes me the raspberry every summer, its nice.  Also doin some sewing... I get a little uncomfortable around finals weeks (summer sessions come quickly) there is a bit of a lul between the time that I put the final together and when I have to give it, THEN I know it will get busy, with grading, the end of the term and gettin gready for the next... So, I sew now.. in that lul.

 I tackled a smaller Figgy Sunki pattern for Grace.

 It's pretty cute on her,

 Zipper, though not as well centered, was better going in this time.

 With the gold toms, shades and the temporary tattoo... the sweet tunic even gets a bit edgy.

Then I put together this gathered top from Polka Drops book..

 It's for Alice's birthday in a few weeks.  It was surprisingly tricky, the arms and figuring out what thy wanted me to do for the gathers, but I think it turned out.  I was even feeling good enough to add a pocket, which looks a bit off kilter in this picture.

Hmmm, anyhow, added a few little pillows to play with in the pocket.
