Felt Like Knitting

Hearts of Palm

There is a cafe in the church where I work and it comes in handy when I don't have my lunch packed.  Today they had Greek salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious!  There was an unknown vegetable on the salad and I determined I was eating hearts of palm.   Yum!

Do any of you use heart of palm in your recipes?  What do you do with it?  I'm kind of surprised that I've never tried it before!

My apologies if my blog looks huge.  When I view it in Chrome, it is huge.  When I view it in Safari, it's fine.  Not sure what to do to fix it...  It may be time to open a Typepad ticket.  (I'm wondering if it has something to do with my last post which was done from the app.)

Pirate Day

Today we finished our unit on the real pirates of the Caribbean and I dressed up for the occasion. It can be a lot of fun teaching history!

Blog Evolution

What do you do when life gets busy and/or your blog doesn't exactly fit you anymore?  I've missed blogging, but...

1) Life is super busy right now (like it is for everyone else).  In addition to church volunteering, I have been teaching 6th grade history this year.  There has been little time for extras.  I even had to drop out of book club.  I'm hoping next year will be better because I'll have a year of lesson plans to tweak instead of having to create everything from scratch.  (My last day of school is in 17 days, but who's counting?)

2) This blog is/was about knitting.  Even the title makes it all about knitting.  But when there isn't time for knitting, there isn't much to say on the blog.  It's a problem.

So do I archive this blog and start a new one?  Or do I keep this blog, write about everything, and hope knitters aren't disappointed when I talk about crazy 6th graders, weight loss, and funky guitar chords?  I could even keep this blog and start a new one specifically for another topic, but that seems like it would be hard to maintain.

For now, I'm going to try to start reading some blogs again.  If I can even remember what reader I was using...
