This, that, *and* the other thing!

This = yummy food that helps deal with the overload of late summer zucchini & tomatoes:

Want the recipe? It’s super easy and it looks kind of impressive. It’s also vegetarian! Yay!

That = I’ve actually been getting some knitting done. Case in point, one Dancette shawl in Plucky Knitter Primo.

Holly Carp is this stuff nice to knit with! Dancette is also a lovely pattern. I didn’t change a single thing when I was knitting it. Not my normal modus operandi.

The other thing? Hmm, well…oh, okay. I’m back to being a part-time student again. So that’s exciting. Sociology this semester. Need to see which theory I side with, sociological or psychological explanations for criminal and deviant behaviour. I have a feeling it’s both, but don’t ruin the surprise! I had a little study date with myself last Friday night. First off, over to have some sketchy pho in downtown Whalley. Mmmmm, Bun Cha. ZOMG, amazing.

Insanely good. Then, walk over to the lovely new library. Wait, what’s this? Hmmm, graffiti or something deeper?

I like to think it has a deeper meaning than a binner trying to keep track of which manhole covers he has investigated under. I’m probably wrong though. Then, once all settled in the library what should my wandering eye espy outside?

Why yes, that is four locals smoking crack beside the rec centre. Sigh. Then I went back to my books.

This Friday? Lather, rinse, repeat. Hopefully there won’t be anyone smoking crack outside the library this time, but I’m willing to take the chance.

  1. Wow…..your Dancette is cosiderably different since the last time I saw it. Tis a beautiful thing! The veggie dish looks totally delish. Hope you will be able take a bit of time away from your studies to duck into WNK now and again. We miss you.

  2. Well, there is the sociological aspect and the psychological aspect, but there is also a physiological aspect that is becoming better known through use of fMRI. The amygdala, the part of the brain that is responsible for feeling empathy, is largely inactive in psychopaths — is that inactivity a cause or a result? Who knows (yet)? Food for thought…

  3. Holy smokes – that’s a beautiful shawl! Was that fingering weight or worsted?

  4. I have to agree with Heather – that shawl is stunning. Love the colours.

  5. Hope you are well and holidays have left you happy. Love the shawl in this post!
