We decided to make the pork and the fritters for lunch and just have leftovers for dinner - with the temperature in the 100's AGAIN, it sounds like a great idea. By
dinner time I have the feeling no one is going to have much energy.

Clay would be impressed - the meal was wonderful! Lily was my sous chef and she did a great job grating all the zucchini and she even managed not to grate her knuckles, something I'm not so good at avoiding. I have to learn how to chop parsley a little finer, but no doubt Clay can provide some good tips on that. Actually on second thought, if I mention it to him, he'll probably have me at the restuarant chopping bushels of it just to practice!

I did start a new project today - here's the beginning of Spring Snapperland. Can't wait to get all the parts to Summer Snapperland - I love the first one Whale House! But since I have all the parts to Spring, guess that one will get completed first. I cut off a little of the wording along the bottom but I did get it all stitched. I'm a little off center but I think it'll work for framing, or another pillow or something. (just don't want to start it again - lol - the 28 ct dove grey Monaco isn't exactly my fave). But here's Day one's progress.
