Challenges
The shawl in alpaca icy blue is almost half knit. I'm still loving these lace tipped Karbon needles.
This lace is basic and hardly challenging, but I love the results.

Fireman and I tried PHO recently.
It was a bucket list thing for him.
I lied. He tried Pho, I watched him.
My bucket list food adventures rarely involve much risk.
My idea of a bucket list food experiment is candy.
I have always been told that homemade marshmallows are so different then store bought.
So I ordered some.
They were (past tense) soft and wonderful.
I won't go so far as to make my own, but if I get the opportunity to purchase fresh again, I surely will.
You all know Meredith's Lil Buddy loves trains.
I took this image just for him yesterday at O'Hare. I've decided it is a cool crossroads of sorts.
Our "L" is headed underground, and the Jet is taxiing (yes I did have to look up the spelling !) to the gate.
Happy Thursday.
Have you challenged yourself gastronomically speaking?

I'm not much of an eater-more work than reward.
We made homemade marshmallows once. They were good, but not worth the trouble as far as we were concerned.
I always remember when we lived in Chicago and would go to O'Hare, when suddenly it would get dark in the car and you'd look up and a HUGE plane would be right over you! Fun but weird.
I don't like marshmallows, except for Rice Krispies Treats. At the grocery store the other day, I picked up ingredients to make some, and saw something I had forgotten all about --- toasted coconut-covered marshmallows. My Daddy LOVED coconut, and would eat those things by the bagfull. Those, I can eat.
