As for the cooking...I love to bake but I can't even time potatoes and carrots to be ready at the same time, never mind a complicated recipe that requires a book. I once cooked pearl barley (to have instead of rice) and it was foul (turns out I only like it in soup!) and it took days for the smell to get out of the kitchen - see? I'm a really bad cook!<br />I hope SCD cheered you up last night if a cuddle with the gorgeous A didn't. Oh, and Wilson is gorgeous and he has feet like dinner plates! xx<br /><br />P.S. <br />Dear Salley, <br />Oh yes I am, I'm just very, very late!!<br />Archie xArchie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917917507311549858.post-46593821713544136772012-10-09T06:36:53.977+01:002012-10-09T06:36:53.977+01:00Doesn't look like Archie is reading this post ...Doesn't look like Archie is reading this post . . oh well I am ! and that baggie inny looks fresh and perfect...I wouldn't change it.

In my humble opinion the plain lining with apples is perfect because plain & light linings make for easier finding stuff in a big bag of cr$p. <br />the outside of your tote is lovely and the is the main thing.<br />In regards to the cooking... I share Leanne's sentiments, pour a glass of wine & order pizza next time. It's always annoying and disheartening when disasters happen but we all have our off days.

Most of my cooking is done recipe free, going with my gut and knowing what flavours work together. If you cooked lots before then you have the knowledge inside you.

I think the bag is wonderful, I have some of that linen in that green and I love it. You did the right thing with the quilt, not every idea will work but remember you have hundreds of great ideas a year. And the dinner, well I would just order pizza and call the oven repair guy next week. I think you are wonderful to have tried and should try again soon (after the repairs). It is miserable when it all happens in the same weekend, but don't let it get you down. Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.com
