Chicken and Dumplings... You know your want some...

A certain Facebook friend seen i was making chicken and dumplings for dinner tonigt and was sad she wasn't here to have any... so i told her i would pay the recipe up for her... so here it is...

What you will need:

1 crock pot
1lb. Frozen mixed veggies (caned works too)
2 large chicken breasts (thawed or frozen)
One can of your fav biscuits 
3 cloves Garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of milk
2 cups of water
1 can of cream of  chicken soup or mushroom i used one of each...

Now spray the inside of your pot with non stick spray... and pour in the veggies. Then if you are using thawed chicken dice it into chucks and dump that in there. If nit just place the frozen chicken right on top. Add the cans of soup..Now pour in the milk  and a bit if water.

Now set it on high and forget it for 4 hours if the chicken is thawed 7 if frozen

When you stir it you will be able to see if the chicken is done or not.

Now pop open the biscuits (i love doing that) and  i quarter them and drop them in. Its up to u how many u want. I use the whole can...  but quarter them and just drop them in...

Let it set for around one more hour...

Stir it up and laddle it out...

I like to serve mine in over sized coffee cups 

How you like it!

P.s this makes alot so invite friends over...

lookie lookie me make socks

so after a good two years i finally knit myself a pair of socks… i forgot how much i love knitting them and now that I have my own bedroom and a safe place for my yarn I can start stashing again…




I havnt had a yarn stash in over 3 years I have been knitting from ball to ball and its killing me! at one time i reknit the same ball of yellow acylic no less than 4 times. Now I just need to find some yarn to stash I guess not that many people knit in florida so they hide there knitting stores…sigh



But these are my new socks… simple yet comfy. Named after the city I now call home. (moved from Norcal 3 weeks ago) Tampa Bay

Looking for a pattern...

So my mom has sent me on a mission for her friend the hooker. she was wondering if I knew if I could name or find the pattern to this hat since I'm a knitter that shouldnt be a big question for me... but alas its a crochet hat and I have no clue at all... anyone know the pattern or know of a similar one? Thanks...

 

And so it begins

So the yarn came in yesterday and incase your wondering what  2000 yards of lace weight looks like...yes that's a dime...

+Insert staggered breathe here+

The needles should be here tomorrow... then I'm knitting like a machine....

If your name is Dawn Dixon DO NOT READ THIS POST

Okay so now that I have that out of the way...I'm on pins and needles waiting for my new yarn and needles to get her to start my mom's birthday gift...

I'm knitting Leda's Dream...

Leda was a woman, seduced by Zeus, who took the form of a swan. The child born of this encounter, Helen of Troy, was said to be the most beautiful woman on earth. Swans’ wings, flowers, and waves upon a beach allude to Leda’s story.

I think it will come out amazing... plus in arich Garnet... mmmmm oh yes...

Can't wait.

Look at all the colors spot!

So after deciding to knit my mutha a bday gift I went on the hunt for yarn. I know that I wanted to knit some piece of AMAZING lace thats all I was able to figure out.. So after typing in lace weight into that good and trusted EBAY search bar I found THIS I know right! so you know me I cant pick a color to save my life.. I posted it on Ravelry to see what everyone else thought I should choose...AND EVERYONE HAD AN OPTION LoL So mush so I decided to keep my mind from exploding I would post a poll up on here so I can see the the color that would win out...

So please feel free to cast your vote and if you fancy drop a comment on why you picked that color and if you so fancy what you would knit out of it...who knows you might find a a ball of yarns or pattern coming your way as a thank you! Just leave your Ravelry name in your comment so I know who to send it out too if I happen to find a lil something something extra in my paypal lol

Random trip to Oregon

Had a great trip with Jeb.... Its just what I needed, a nice relaxing trip away from Humboldt

Domistic Goddess WHAT?

So I have rediscovered my cockpot, love love love love....

In the past week I made:

Pot Roast
Feta Ravioli
Breakfast Bake
Chicken and Dumplings

And I have a whole list if things I need to make with it, baked apples being high on that list.

So I'm as much as I hate the desision I made I know it's for the best. This wasnt easy, and I dont personally like it but I know that the only way you will be able stand up and get your shit together is by walking away and letting you see just what I've been doing all this time for you...

The Breathe that just wont come

You go off and get mad about the place you and your family are forced to stay in. You lost your place and when the only person that allowed u and you kids to stay, you caused him to loose his/my home. Then you have the audasity to come at me about how no matter what I always have a place to stay and because I have that you fight me.

You do not have the right to treat me like this when I have done nothing to you, yet you love to throw things in my face that I have nothing to do with.

I'm not the reason you are where you are. I'm not the reason people dont want to help you.

I understand that you dont want to be in this room, neither do I...

You leave to go hang with your friends out of town and go to parties. I stay in this little room and watch your children. You leavr for one party and I see you two days later, I go out and if I'm not back by the next mornung you get irked and treat me like shit.

I love you but I cant keep doing this. I cant help you and your kids anymore. Yes I care but you are not going to use me as a scapegoat...

Goodbye...

Lets have a kiki...

Just watch lol

Watch "Let's Have A Kiki - Instructional Video" on YouTube

A bag revisited

So I forget uf I posted about the market bag I was making/made when I girst got to Eureka, but it was really cute and got used ALOT...

Pics for proof will be posted...

But I got tired of it not being used so I ripped it out, first time ever salvaging old yatn btw, and decided to reknit it...

So far I have the base done with a ball I had in stash and I bumped up the needle size to make it a bit more stretchy and its going along great. Since I am using a diffrent yarn for the basr tge actual bag is going to ve alot deeper.

~happy dance~

I love ut when projects workout the way you want lol

Now I just have yo work thru this eye twitch of yo knit2tog mesh...

As long as I dont drop a stitch I'm good, so wish me luck!

We all fall down

Today is the day that my ex moves out... Its kinda wierd. I care for him but at the same time watching him go leaves me with a cold numb feeling.  I have to figure out what I'm doing. I can't stay here, but I dont want to move with Beth and the boys.

If you know me, you know that I suck at transitions, they are not my strong suit. I was flirting with the idea of going to visit family in Indiana but I'm not sure if I really want to.

FUCK....

I.hate.this

The Endless Baby Sweater

So I'm knitting a Surprise Baby Jacket and as much as I love making them, this one is being a pain in my fucking ass. I keep loosing count and have to rip back...

Fuck I think I might run out of yarn... Guess it will be trimmed in black lol

Have you read my blog today? http://queerknits.blogspot.com

With a capital K

This is Murphy's Law to the fullest:

1. I got mugged two weeks ago and the bag they stole had ALL my knitting needles in it...So after a week of having nothing to knit with I broke down and started using bamboo skewers to knit an angora scarf...

2. The Yarn I'm knitting with is AMAZING soft and feels great between my fingers, but its so soft that single fibers get caught in my nose and makes it go into self cleaning mode, which means I cant breathe thru all the snot/muccus/watery eyes

3. and now my friends dog was just cought on the sofa EATING my angora lace scarf....

I will say this after all that I think I earned that capital K... I'm a Knitter down deep where it counts!

I'm only happy when it rains..

So here I am on my friends laptop hiding out in Nor Cal redwoods. Its actually rather nice up here. I will say it is rather rainy. Its rained well over 75% of the time since I been up here. Tho I do like the drearness of it all, gives me a reason to bundle up wit my knitting. Scarves, socks, new patterns... I have been a very busy boy...and I love it. I feel like I have found that spark that I lost...

I have been talking to a few freinds up here ant they want me to leave The City and move here...I have been giving it alot of thought. I'm not sure yet what I want to do but I like the idea and miss living in a smaller area. Tho I will say there are alot few gays let alone drag...or people of color...*heavy sigh* But whats a girl gonna do? I'll tell you what, strap on some strappy heels and hit the town for drinks. I seriously have to work something out with the bars here...there is one bar that is gay...get this, not once a week...but once a MONTH!

No brunch with the girls, No COCKtails with the ladies, I don't even wanna think about finding Mister Right. THANK GOD I have Sex and the city on DVD I can live thru them for the time being.

But I have to get back to my knitting and looking at MAC (makeup not apple)

BIG KISS!

Knitting takes on Japan
