My Passport

Have you ever seen such a cool device? This is a "My Passport" 320 external hard drive with a usb cable. How cool is that? Andrews Alienware gaming computer is almost dead....it's in hospice. So he has my Alienware Gaming computer which is not dead but on its last legs and has been acting up tons lately.... so I need to get all my pictures, csm files, knitting files, knitting pdf files and a few odds and sods off it.Our lovely glamour girl Saffy has to pose next to it...how cute!

I started another semi longterm knitting project called "Faery Ring". It's a lovely cabled sweater coat. Yarn is from Knit Picks "Wool of the Andes" and the color...Pampas Heather. I'm about 6 cable repeats shy of the 19 needed for the bottom.

Yummy!!

WOW WEEEE!! What a perfect addition to my KitchenAid attachments, one of the best! ** An easy, no mess way to make icecream. I've been making homemade icecream for many years, I will NEVER go back to the ice and salt method ever again. ** No need to find another place to store another small kitchen appliance. Have you ever bought a small appliance made a few things with it and when you find a place to store it you never get it out again?...My bowl goes in the bottom of the chest freezer, ready to use in an instant. ** Bowl stays frozen for a long time...even after icecream is made. How cool is that? Here is a tip for making icecream...always put a pinch of salt in your mix and always refrigerate your mix over night(even if it says 2 hours). For more excellent tips on making icecream, watch Alton Brown "Good Eats". I just love the science of cooking.

Whats in the bowl...?? Maple Nut Icecream...YUMMY!!!
This got smoother as it mixed....click on images to enlarge
