This would be an ultimate night alone for me.

Knitting and Living Life
I’m working an icord hem and just cut the time it’ll take me in half by switching the working stitches onto dpns. If anyone is interested in how to work it this way I’ll try to put something together this weekend.
Zhang Huan - Ash Head, 2007
“Constructed from incense ash collected from Shanghai temples, this medium has multiple significations: it is the substance of prayers, the dust of death and rebirth, the allegorical weight of spirits. Emitting an overwhelming scent throughout the gallery space this piece recycles the hopes and wishes of others…”

New Recipe #17: Potato Cucumber and Dill Salad
For the Memorial holiday weekend I made two new recipes to bring to a family cookout. This was the first one. It came out OK, but I would modify it a little next time. Part of the reason it may not have had as strong a flavor to it was because this only calls for 3/4 of a pound of potatoes, which isn’t much. Usually, this would be a good thing with our family of 3, but for a cookout you need a big bowl of potato salad sitting on the table. So we just doubled the ingredient list and I don’t think the ratios matched up. I would try more dill and a little more lemon juice or simply include some lemon zest next time to kick up the flavor a little bit. It was very good and I like that it uses yogurt as a base instead of mayo. Got me thinking of using Raita as a dressing for my next potato salad!
