Divalicious
In pursuing The Gentle Art of Domesticity, I have, so far this year, made homemade pickles (which have yet to be deemed tasty–or even edible–this Friday will end the 2 week waiting period–so an update will be posted after the taste-testing), lasagna soup (so yummy) and rolled/frosted sugar cookies on two separate occasions. Each of my sons chose these are the goodie-of-choice to take in to their classrooms on their birthdays.
These were not meticulously decorated, impressive cookies. These were misshapen, come-as-you-are cookies topped with copious amounts of garish icing and M&M’s. They were very well received with their teal, fuschia, and chartreuse coloring and rainbow candies. There may at some point be pictures…
So what’s next for a domestic diva like me, you might ask?
Well, I haven’t gotten started on that knitting resolution yet. Frankly, I’m not all that certain what the best way to begin is. If I’m interested in knitting socks, should I just buy a sock pattern, or do I need to start smaller?
But any way you look at it, I’m evolving–and quite enjoying myself.

Okay, so evidently that didn’t work, and I can’t figure out how to go in and edit my comment. So, here’s the link:

I’ve canned pickles before. And they were delicious! Re the knitting: do you already know how to knit? If not, I’m wondering how tough it is to knit a heel?

Good luck with the knitting!
I posted the meme today.

Good luck with the knitting. I really want to learn, but have never taken the time. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I miss cooking. My husband does it all now, and I just write for a living. I used to make the best bran muffins, so sweet and juicy with their blueberry filling. I also made a mean cheeseburger. But now my hubby does it all, except when we go out to eat. Shucks!

Knitting scarves is the easiest to start with. When I learned socks I took a one day class at my local knitting store. I always do better when people show me something versus trying to read a pattern and go from there.
I would show you if you lived closer. Especially if you brought wine.

I first learned to knit flat things and then took up stockings (bigger and easier to manipulate for a beginner). Socks don’t phase me at all anymore.
