Testing 1, 2, 3

How many blogs have I had so far? Umm...several. I always seem to start them in an effort to communicate with a specific group of people, instead of just keeping one for the sake of keeping it.

So what's been happening lately?

Cooking: On Wednesday, I revisted my favorite "Oven Chicken Cordon Bleu" recipe on the occasion of lunch with my sister & brother-in-law. This time I omitted the dijon, used Italian breadcrumbs instead of cornflakes, and wrapped everything with bacon - which worked out awesomely, since it held those babies together! Yum!

Crafting: With Baby Colton's blanket finished and given, it's been high time to get to work on Baby K's gift (he could arrive any day and this gift has to be sent pretty much across the country!). I'm using Knitpick's shine sport, which is soft and lovely to work with. Can't tell you what exactly I'm making - it's a surprise!

Church: One of my co-workers recommended North Ridge Church, so at the next opportunity I'll be checking it out! They have a pretty nifty/helpful web-site (although there's no staff info and I couldn't find doctrinal info) - if you check it out, be sure to look at the "Cardboard Testimonies" video. They're also having a Holy Week drama that I might check out on Good Friday.



Lately I've been attempting to do some language learning during my knitting. After mini-trials with a few different programs/languages, I think I'm sticking with Indonesian! It helps that I've already got a little headstart from some studying I did in the fall, and there's the added advantage that it's related to several other languages. Will I ever use it? I don't know - but there's nothing wrong with giving it a shot!
