saag, bagels, hat.

I think I have been panicking and overthinking a little too much about moving to Oregon. But, cooking and knitting are good distractions.

First up: sweet potato saag.

saaaaaag

This is basically the pumpkin saag recipe from Veganomicon. It’s so, so good. I only made half the recipe, which sufficed for a dinner and a lunch, and I really wish there were more.

Next: bagels. Again, I know. This time using molasses in place of sugar, which turned the bagels an interesting yellow. These are half-sized, some topped with sea salt, some with sesame seeds, some are plain.

And: the hat. FOR REALZ.

yarr.

Pink and white stripes, as you can see. I opted for the beads instead of trying to find some way to have “dangly down” parts, which she better appreciate because that’s the last time I ever put tiny beads on anything unless I can glue them on.  :)

I should probably go do something useful. Or maybe just waste time until I think it is not too early to start cooking dinner (roasted sweet potato and pear, and baked orange tofu).
