I love to cook on the grill....
I love cooking out on the grill any time of the year. Yup....I even do it in the winter during snow storms. Ask my friends! But I love cooking outside more in the summer because of all the fresh veggies I can get. Tonight we had two of my favorites. Zucchini and asparagus. Very simple preparation. Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice them in half. I like the smaller ones. With the asparagus just cut off the ends. Then brush them both with olive oil. Don't be shy....give them a nice liberal coat. Then sprinkle them with wasabi seasoning. You could use something else but this is my favorite.
Rub your steak with "Kitchen Bouquet" to help keep the juices in. Then put them all on the grill. The zucchini are done when they are tender. The asparagus turns bright green and the tips get a little crispy. The steak is cooked to whatever doneness you prefer.

Space frog!
It is actually a little tree frog clinging to the outside of our sliding glass door during a thunderstorm last night. It was really pouring out at the time thus all the little white "stars".
Here is a link to my Flickr set of flowers from the garden. I have a lovely assortment of lilies this year as I added quite a few last year.

I've been neglecting the blog lately.....life sometimes does get in the way. I'm enjoying my new job....what person who sews wouldn't love working in a fabric shop! I do have some projects in the works. Custom order for place mats. Pink ones are done and the blue ones need topstitching. They will ship on Monday.
Order for an apron, place mats and coasters to match. Coasters are done, place mats are cut and pinned and apron is being cut. Should ship on Monday also if all goes well. Need to topstitch a blanket yet that will also ship on Monday.
Now to the fabric piece I picked up yesterday. I can't get a good picture of it but maybe you can get an idea of the texture. It is a blue Persian Lamb velvet. I got this piece that is a little over 2 yards for $4.03!!!! It is sooooo soft. I have watched it hang there at work and finally said....it's going home with me. I'm thinking maybe a vest, maybe a neat bag, maybe a hat and scarf.......

Sam E ... don't touch my green bean!
Our Sam E has not been feeling good and spent Saturday night and all day Sunday in intensive care at the the vet hospital. He is home with us. Still labored breathing and not eating but still taking in fluids. I snapped this photo on Friday. One of his favorite treats are frozen green beans. I knew he wasn't feeling well when all he did was lick it and set his head down with his nose on it. Hope we find some answers soon. He's only 13 years old!
