M picked me up at work today since i had to leave my car at the shop overnight, so by the time we stopped at randalls on the way, it was almost 7 om by the time we got home. he needed to do some wuick paperwork, so i went ahead and prepped my lunch for tomorrow. then he asks what we're doing for dinner. i don't know. he suggests we just forage and offers to eat the leftover pizza from saturday night. i agree, since this means i won't just be tossing it next weekend when i clean out the fridge. for myself, i make the tasty salad pictured above - fresh spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese and thinly sliced filet mignon. while i'm eating i finally realize the ulterior motive behind M's suggestion: pre-season football was on tv tonight and he wanted to watch without missing any of the game.
during commercial breaks i did manage to get him to vacuum seal in one pound bags all of the roasted hatch green chilies we bought this weekend. sadly, a pile of vacuum sealed bags filled with roasted chilies just doesn't photgraph well, at least not for me!
so, while he watched football, i whipped up a little gift for my cousin. her birthday was earlier this month and we're having a belated b-day dinner at benihana on wednesday. anyway, i stitched up this mug rug using hexies i've made stitched together and machine appliqued onto a linen background using my machine's herringbone stitch. i machine stitched the binding, too, but wish i hadn't. it would have looked much better if i'd done it by hand and wouldn't have taken long on something this small. nonetheless, i decided not to pick it out and redo, since she won't notice anyway.
while i was handstitching the hexies for the mug rug, ozzie came to keep me company, then bat joined him. first there was grooming, then wrestling.

Enjoyed watching the kitties battle! Isn't it fun to watch them play together? Unless, of course they decide to do it right over the top of you!
