my latest endeavor: almond flour garlic cheese bread

Made this baby hat today for a girl from work. Having trouble deciding if it will fit on a baby since I don’t think my cats’ heads are a proper gauge.

Also not set on that flower, which is fine since it isn’t attached yet.

Pattern from Crochet Today

Kyle’s mom’s tree is 12 feet tall and awesome.

Made 10 bottles of apple pie to help ring in the new year. It doesn’t taste at all like everclear; you should try it!

Apple Pie

• 1 gallon apple juice
• 1 gallon apple cider
• 3.5 cups of sugar 
• 6 cinnamon sticks
• 3/4 of a fifth of everclear

Simmer all ingredients except everclear in a large pot for 1.5 to 2 hours.  Let cool completely, then stir in the everclear.  We bottled ours in mason jars (shocker!) but you can also just transfer the liquid back into the cider and juice bottles.

Happy New Year!

I think that Jobin and Tig have missed us.

Knitting hat number two. I miss my bamboo circulars, but at least I love these stitch markers.

A friend from work gave me this bottle of alcohol that is known by some as apple pie moonshine. I don’t really know the details of the recipe, but you cook down cider, apple juice, and sugar with cinnamon sticks. After it cools you add in everclear.

I think this would have been dangerous if I had known about it in college.

Knitting my first hat.

I’m really paranoid that it won’t fit on my head when it’s done.
