Read Carefully, Very Carefully

 I'm using my cool bag from Knoxville for my ruched scarf project.
Below is yarn for your viewing pleasure. 
So, I got my Cooking light Magazine yesterday and on the last page is a recipe for SHEET PAN S'MORES.  It is a big old full page recipe so I'm not posting it.  You can go to their website, I bet , and have a look see. 

 Well , I always read the Serving Size breakdown in nutrition. 
I swore it said 79 grams of fat per 1 square serving.  
Now I know that some things like, say, Whoppers and Double Whoppers etc, do truly have a high fat content like you wouldn't believe. 

 But in a Cooking Light magazine?  I reread it this morning in disbelief, and realized it says 7.9 Grams of fat.  That's 7 POINT 9 grams of fat.  Hee hee.  Reading too fast again.  

 It's hot and humid and I'm loving it.  It is SUMMER in CHICAGO. 
Zach' is done with teaching.  Kudos to my son who is a very patient man.  His 3rd year of teaching 300 students.  Jr High Students no less.  That really says 300 students.  Not 30 and not 3.  He's amazing.

Teaching is a gift and those who don't have the gift don't last long as teachers!
Very funny about the fat count-so picky to have to see that little dot! lol
Always nice to have a good project bag!

I remember when our son Alex was teaching junior high. He called me one night and asked me, "What is wrong with these girls? One minute they're laughing hysterically, the next crying hysterically for no apparent reason." I said, "Hormones Alex, it's hormones. Get used to the junior high life of girls!" He didn't know what to do with them and here was his mom laughing her head off at him. :-). I love, love, love your new yarn. What is it? And yes, I laughed at your s'mores story too. Thank you for that. Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Betsy

Just got my Cooking Light today and immediately went to look. LOL OH MY! They look delicious. Glad they don't REALLY have 79 grams of fat.

Although ........through the years Cooking Light seems to be less "light". I've been a subscriber from the beginning.

Hahahahaha....that reminds me of the time I told The Mister to give Daughter (when she was little) 3/4ths of a spoonful of medicine. He thought I said 3-4 spoonfuls. Poison control got a call that night!

Yes he is because junior high students are a tough breed. 7.9 sounds a lot better, are you going to make them? Come to Florida it is hot and humid here too!

It takes a special person to teach middle schoolers, I'm glad Zach has found his niche.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
