It's All About . . Food!

Or so it seems today. Vince has a friend in FL and every year he sends us oranges and grapefruit . . not just everyday stuff but all kinds and sizes of oranges and red, white and pink grapefruit. He has them growing in his yard! Just goes out and picks them and sends them and they are so good! Too bad Vince was here when they arrived or I would have been tempted to tell him they never got here and hide them so I can have them all for myself. Vince had already grabbed some of them to take to work before I was able to take the picture. I've only had three of them today and I'm going to have a grapefruit for dinner! Thanks Steve and Ann for the yummy fruit! My family has been asking for gumbo so I made that tonight. Hard to believe something that starts out so ugly can be so good! I used leftover smoked chicken for the meat; will let it simmer for a couple of hours, then cool down before putting it in the fridge for our dinner tomorrow. I have one of the heart quilts on the longarm now. I'm doing McTavishing in the background which takes forever. I love piecing and when I haven't pieced in a few days, I miss it so much! But, I also love longarming and when I've been away from the longarm for a few days, I realize how fun it is and how much I miss it when not doing it. I suppose the solution would be to do some piecing and some longarming every day but I'm usually trying to finish a quilt . . whether piecing or longarming. Back to quilting so I can get this top finished tonight . . hopefully. Judy
