Purple
These skates are painted on the wall of the rink. They remind me of Harlee since she loves purple so much.

Derby Day
Here are some photos of the skate supply at the rink. The first ones are some I added some fun vintage effects too, followed by the original.

Red Robin, YUM!
Madie and I made a traditional pilgrimage to Red Robin yesterday. I haven't gone out to eat in quite a while so we went for a late lunch/early dinner. She had the traditional bacon-cheeseburger with coke that she always gets and I had a California chicken burger with strawberry lemonade. And of course, LOTS of fries and poppyseed honey mustard!
I had derby practice last night too. It was brutal. We had endurance practice and my legs were jelly by the time we were leaving for our cars. I need a new set of skates and a fixed set of legs!

Pierogi!
I made these Lemon Blueberry Pierogi with Spiced Sour Cream for the Valentine's day dessert times I had with Madie and her roommates. You make them, boil them, and when you're about to eat them, give them a warm up through a light sauteé. They were pretty easy to make. I found the hardest part to be actually getting them to stay closed before boiling. They turned out super delicious and the spiced sour cream was a perfect addition! Pierogi are probably going to become an important food in my life. I just need to figure out what kind of savory ones I can make that I'd actually enjoy!

Bunting continued...
Now I have all the triangles cut out, I just have to figure out how I want to attach them. Do I want to sew them onto yarn across the front? Use binding tape? Ric-rac? I'm going to hang them in my room and they're going to be so pretty. Teal and bright orange are some of my favorites so I'm sure they'll look great. But howwww to attach them? Any ideas?

The infamous braided knit headband...
This is the headband I made for Madie. I started it before I came back out to the coast, and just finished it this weekend. It was three really long knitted pieces each 12 stitches wide so it took a lot of time. But the finished product is AWESOME. I'm going to have to make one of these for myself in the future.

Makin' Crepes
I'm attempting to catch up on my bloggings, so please expect a lot of food photos. This is from the night that Madie and I made crepes. Since then we've made salmon, pizza, mac and cheese, these delicious pulled bbq chicken sandwiches (with extra red pepper flakes and hot sauce) and various other nomz. There are some more tasty niblets on the menu for this week.
