This weekend I am more than excited to stay home and work on a few projects. Above is a new design that I have been knitting away on. I'm happy to say that next week, I should have 3 new designs with test knitters (well, depending on how this weekend goes, of course). Currently, Joe is downstairs getting all the walls ready for priming- the basement knitting studio is moving right along!
Last night I made this Black Bean and Chorizo Chili from the Cooking Light website. My sister would make this chili in the winter, now that she moved so far away I have to make it for myself. Although is calls for chorizo sausage, she is a vegetarian and replaces this with soy chorizo. I decided to make it exactly the way she does and picked up some soy chorizo at Trader Joe's earlier this week. The chili also calls for cinnamon and chocolate- no joke, check it out!
So with plenty of work ahead of us, I think our weekend is set. What about you, do your plans include being out and about, or staying warm inside by the fire?

This is gorgeous, Melynda! My fingers are itching for the familiar click-click :) That chili sounds so good! I have that bookmarked in my recipe folder but haven't tried it yet, since we're trying to cut back on our meat consumption... Also, Eric hates anything from a pig. How did the chili turn out, do you like it?
ReplyDeleteOh my, it's delicious! If you get the soy chorizo from Trader Joe's you will only use half of it. It's a pretty easy recipe, considering a lot of it is just cans of beans and tomatoes. Total comfort food- perfect to eat while watching the snow come down.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so yummy! Quit teasing with all of your snow :P. We spent the weekend outside enjoying the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely! I am jealous that the primer is already being applied to your soon to be new studio! My new area is wayyyyy behind schedule.....sigh, still waiting.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
The pattern of your new design looks lovely as well as the color you chose. The chili seems definitely yummy! Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMelynda, I'm from Ohio, and the famous "Cincinnati Chili" has both cinnamon and chocolate in it, and it's the best I've EVER had.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend my Hubby made me a skein winder that can wind 5 skeins at a time, so my arms are about to fall off, but I love it! and that Chili sounds great!
