Peek of the Week: The things we do

A meal, with a real rendering of a gluten free breakfast. I know, my glowing health makes you want to vomit. Here to spread sunshine.
And my new whats-it contraption electric holder thingy....


To hold my now numerous wires and things. The things I usually lose. Now they are snug sand-whiched between birdies and pom-poms.

This is my FIRST EVER linking up/blog share thingy-ma-bob with Jessa of the Happily Home Sewn. I hope I did it right because the only thing that exceeds my love of sewing is my love of Jessa. and Laura. and Jesus.

You got my back, right?

I have drawn my own biscuit, to avoid all those annoying crediting things. From now on, all pictures will be my own creation or photography. Take that blogites!

Ok, I am not eating gluten, cause, you know, I am allergic to the world. AND I FEEL BETTER. I am telling all of you so the next time you see me reach for a bag of flour, a slice of bread, or a bushel of wheat you will say "NO CHRISTA!!! YOU FEEL SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU ABSTAIN FROM THE GLUTENY DELIGHT OF SUCH FOODS. GLUTEN FREE BISCUITS ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT!!" Except they are friends, they are so different. They require more jam on top, to mask the lingering flavor of tapioca flour (its baking blasphemy) BUT, all the same...I give you permission to smack me with the holy power of a righteous friend to set me right!

DC

Quote of the night "ok, I want to feel his chin." My roomie and I are watching Bollywood movies and she is fascinated by the hero's chin.

I went and toured DC with Ethan a few weekends ago. It was the first time I had been there since my childhood. Friday we walked alllllll over the city (clocking 12+ miles-phew) and Saturday we biked and walked allllllll over the city. It was great!

Some great folk art at the National gallery.

Roosevelt memorial - It was my favorite and really beautiful.

Yes, that's the moon. Pretty, eh? The weather was a lovely 60 degrees, a great break from the frigid chill of winter.

A silver tree. Random, but neat.

The National Cathedral. So pretty!

A mini panda at the zoo.

The white house.

Ethan, worn out, just outside of the Jefferson memorial.

This was an amazing exhibit at the National Gallery - this guy made a throne for Christ's return out of tinfoil and cardboard.

Camera, activated.

Liz's sweet puppy, Huckleberry. He's a grouchy old man.
Crafts: painted picture frames, kindle case

My roommate: Rhonde

For the new years party I made a deliciously indulgent recipe, bitterballen. It's essentially a fried meatball and it is so good. The recipe I used can be found here, the only change I made is that I added gruyere cheese, which is never a bad thing. I also made hush puppies, cause if you are frying things, I mean, you need to fry hush puppies.
