sereneI have always joked that I make a terrible hippychick because I can't bake bread, I can't grow plants, and I don't like herbal tea. Well, I still don't like herbal tea, but thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
alanbostick, I've successfully made one batch of sourdough bread, and now I have *plants*. And they're alive, and thriving, and taking over my apartment. There are nine of them, not counting the salsa garden. For those of you who like those things, I've posted pictures and a little narrative about my babies over in my picture area. *preen* Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eeyore_grrl, whose housewarming gift was the start of it all.
In other news, I knitted!wild_irises, while she was being all charming and hosty last night, taught me to knit, and I was able to do it. I was so excited I couldn't stop burbling about it, and I made someotherguy stop on the way home to look at my little deformed worm of knitting. I am so fucking excited about this! I will practice and practice, and now that I know how to hold stuff, the videos online will help -- before, they just confused me. wild_irises is a most excellent knitting teacher, and a MOST excellent friend. I've missed her, and I adored being able to natter her ear off last night. Plus she made rice with Penzey's spices that was very yummy.
