As soon as I buy more batteries, or find my rechargable ones I’ll be able to post pics of all the projects I’m working on. Except those that are going to be in swap packages. And I must say after I found out what swaps are they are really fun. I absolutely love to think of all the things I can add in to the package plus I love to wait for (cough..stalk..cough) the mail man waiting for the packages to come. I am currently in the Breaking Dawn Swap on Ravelry and the Read a liitle swap a little swap group also on Ravelry. They are so much fun, after my partners have recieved their packages I will post pics. And when I recieve my packages from them I will post pics! Ok have to go lots of studying to do!

I knit this scarf for my sister for her Christmas present she helped me design it. I know it’s not traditional to tell the person what you giving them but she is so picky that I wanted to make sure she liked it, because she would lie and tell me she likes it but then give it to good will. Plus this scarf is a very easy project that can be done in a day.
Materials:
Half a skein of worsted weight yarn
Size 11 straight needles or circular needles but knit straight

We’ve all seen or heard about the disney movie Ratatoille, if not you need to race to neerect movie rental and RENT IT, or you can buy it and trust me it is worth the money espacially after you make my Ratatoiulle dish, you’ll just be in such a “Ratatouille mood” that you will just have to have some. Plus seeing the movie will help you to really understand the Title of this post.
This is one of my favorite things to not only make but to eat! It is so delicious and it’s so simple. I use a (cheap) little mandoline to slice all of the vegetables except for the eggplant because the blade isn’t all that sharp(it was only $7 so I didn’t really expect it to do as much as it does) and the eggplant is soft so it’s more difficult to cut anyways. Hopefully (knock on wood) I get a better mandoline this Christmas.
Most everyone in my family enjoys ratatoille. Well okay only me and my mom really enjoy it but that’s because my older sister Abby hates any squash and Adom only enjoys making it he doesn’t enjoy the taste. Any how what does a 10-year-old know?
The recipe is follwed bellow but first a slew of pictures from me making the ratatouille and from tonights’ thanksgiving!
my pies where supposed to have extra cooked dough decorations but i forgot about them and they burned so i couldn’t use them, oh well.
Anyways I would like to tell you all what I am thankful for which is in no specific order because I’m really sleepy): My mom, my sister, my brother, my dad, all my wonderful pets, my close familyfriends, pumpkin pie, martinelli’s kiddie bubbly, food,…. this list will go on and on for ever so i’ll stop here.
Ratatouille
inspired by Racheal Ray here and Deb over at the Smitten Kitchen.
1 jar of roasted red bell peppers sliced (keep the JUICE)
1 reg size of diced tomatoes
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 zuchinis
2 med or 3 small yellow squash
3 med idaho potatoes or about 6 red potatoes
1 small eggplant or 2 japanese eggplant
1 bell pepper any color (i like to take one each of red, yellow/orange, or green bell peppers and save what’s left for mom’s fajitas)
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice zuchini, squash, eggplant and bell peppers and set aside.
In a medium sautee pan sweat the onion and garlic. Then add the sliced roasted bell peppers and diced tomatoes and cook until all the pepers are nice and hot. Pour/dump pan into blender or food processor and blend till well blended, set aside.
Slice the potatoes.
Pour half the bell pepper mixture into a 9×13 baking dish (ours is mostly used for this, cakes, and brownies YUM!) then layer the veggies standing up son only part of it is in the sauce. Once the dish is full pour the rest of the mixture over it. Cover dish with parchment paper. NOT WAX and bake for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
You will have a delicious meal and lots of left over veggies. This dish does reheat extremely well in the microwave. Try different items to serve it over, like a bed of cous cous or pasta or mashed potatoes, or a baked potatoe, or on a fried egg or even on scrambled eggs the list is endless! Enjoy!!!

Sew in the end pieces of yarn and wash. Your Acacia Scarf is now ready to give as a gift or wear with your favorite outfit.
If it is too long you can shorten the number of rows of garter stitch or you can get rid of the 12 size boxes created by knitting and purling 12 st, or the 20 row section of moss stitch.
When you block it don’t pull it too tight, and follow the care directions on your yarn!
Enjoy your scarves!!!
FOR THE SHORTER VERSION JUST CUT OUT THE GARTER STITCH. I will not email it anymore sorry.
