Its getting hot in here...

Its been way too hot to bake lately. I don't want to be in my apartment, let alone look at the oven. However, I still felt compelled to bring something to knitting. Its always nice to have sweet treats with our coffee or tea. I flipped through some of my cookbooks in search of a no bake dessert, and came across these chocolate peanut butter bars from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess. You can't eat too many of them though. Well you can try, but I don't recommend it; they're super rich.

I enlisted Mary's help in organizing and going through the knit/crochet items we've made for charity. Yes, I know that its warming up, but its still a bit chilly at night. We have a bunch of scarves, hats, a pair of socks from Chino, matching hat and mittens from Michela, and this wonderful, yet outrageously thick blanket made by Cindy. Of course this is all documented in a spreadsheet. Everyone is allowed to be a little obsessive compulsive every now and then!

Tonight at Red Rock we were lucky enough to catch singer/songwriter Coles Whalen. She is an amazing singer, guitarist, and pianist. She makes me want to dust off my guitar or maybe invest in a new piano. She did an awesome cover of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars", and Dire Strait's "Romeo and Juliet". There are a few songs that stood out including Cannonball...and a few others whose name I can't recall on a not-yet-release record. Its interesting how sometimes the lyrical form of someone else's experiences can touch you in a way and speak to your own emotions and experiences.
