I think I will really like this book Cooking with Jamie. I find myself to be a bit slow at times but I find this  book easy to follow and understand. It's simple and easy recipes. It's not even anything spectacular. He just makes food more interesting and not so boring. I think I am going to like cooking with Jamie :)
 I have also been working on my first adult sweater and I've been so busy it hasn't been going fast, but I am determined to get it finished.

my first attempts

My first cowl.
I used one ball of Country Loom 100% acrylic yarn and 11.5 size crochet hook. it only took me a few hours. Crocheting and drinking hot chocolate in front of the tv was a great day to spend my day off. 

Borrowed a book from a friend and just when I thought it was going to sit on my shelf and collect dust I had to go to a potluck and of course I wanted to show off. I decided to pick a couple recipes and give it a go.

There was this beautiful delicious steamed broccoli with soy and ginger.

Steamed carrots with butter and bay leaves.
