i have a tendency to fixate on things--things like food:
now, i think that i have mentioned before in my little corner of the web that i also have quite a thing with my food being pretty. and these are just gorgeous, imho. and abso-freakin-lutely delicious. anytime that G and i go out for thai, i order the fresh spring rolls. now that i've found how easily i can make them at home, i have a feeling i will be subsisting on 'em for a bit (i made them last night and tonight). plus, there is a wicked-cool international ethnic grocery right near us, and i can get the rice paper wrappers (banh trang) killer cheap.
they are crazy thin and soften up in hot water.
there are other things that i'll fixate on--things like a knitting project:
i finished up the center of the Fir Cone Shawl. my excitement was short lived, however, when i realized that the next step was picking up and knitting.....621 stitches. holy freakin' cow. that totally sucked. a lot. it is better that having to graft that many stitches though. right?
now, the shawl looks like this
like a shapeless, lumpy sack. awesome.
