Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it.

Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy

For example it recommend a temperature of 375 degrees. However, feeling that it maybe too hot I turned the temperature down to 360 and the pancakes were a perfect golden brown. I love the pr

Ingredients Ragu home-style alfredo sauce 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic olive oil 1 tablespoon butter any size shrimp 1lb peeled ready to eat linguini pasta 1/2 cup grape tomatoes halved 1 bunch baby spinach ( add more if you like) pepper to taste. 1. cook pasta according to directions and serving you will need.
