A Hug to Inspire!

I've been a follower of Fiber Flux... Adventures in Stitching by Jennifer Dickerson. I find her patterns for neckwarmers, scarves and cowls simple and very easy to follow. The very first crochet project I did using her pattern was the Butternut Squash Neckwarmer that I gave away as a gift to an officemate who left the country to work in the U.S. last year. 

Just recently, I came across her post entitled, "Crochet Yourself a Hug! 10 Crochet Neck Lovelies Just for You". This features 10 scarves of different patterns and colors. Among these, the Fiona Button Scarf caught my attention. Oh, I so love the royalty of purple!
The Fiona Button Scarf by Jennifer Dickerson
The pattern gives instructions for two scarves, one for a 45-inch and another for a 60-inch long scarf. I made a 45-inch long scarf and it made another perfect gift for a friend.

Here's the Fiona Scarf I made using variegated yarn. 
I gave away the scarf without fastening the buttons as I found myself caught in so many activities for the past several weeks! Sorry, Ma'am Volet :(

      Using a bigger fiber of yarn would make you even warmer esp in your snowy weather.

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish   Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines. Add olive oil as needed. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add diced

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
