My favorite and most easy break-fast brunch.
Salmon sprinkled with lemon pepper, olive oil, Bragg’s vinegar, smothered in baby spinach and cheese. Love! Please tell me this is not bad for me.

Tomorrow I will finish the cuffs and put these on my feet. It’s been a bit of a slog while trying to learn to make socks on cable needles and working 7 other pairs of socks on other looms. My hands need the variations to keep from hurting. Otherwise, I might try to stay with just one project until finished. But when one project starts hurting, I put it down and grab another. Progress always happening, just not as fast on any one item as I would like.
Per Linda: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โflag.โ Use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
For quite some time, we have chosen to fly our flag as long as the weather permits. There are so many who think they are American and fly flags other than the one we have saluted since childhood. To me, it seems we need only one flag. The rest is learning to love one another as neighbors, family, and friends.

This is usually called Finished Friday. But since I don’t have anything quite finished and a couple things that were I frogged, I can only show you the new works in progress from the frogs.
I know I showed you yesterday, but I finished the heel today and got started on the second instep I’m liking how the sock looks and even if not, they are for me, so pleasing me is all that counts, right?
I have the needle knitted socks on the circular needles that I frogged. I think that was my third frogging of same. But each time, I learn what I wanted to improve on. I also frog another toe of a smaller knitted toe instead of provisional cast-on like I did with the larger yarn destined to be more like slipper socks. I did a different kind of cast-on on a smaller set of circulars. By last night, I figured out how to do what I was trying, but I need more practice, so enter the next frog.
There is a reason I leave my curtains open until darkness has settled. Even on a cloudless and cold day, there is a reward:
Another fun view from my recliner as I knitted
This furry friend has adopted us but is too feral to come in so we can take better care of her. By the way, that is not her looking at us. Those are snowflakes that seem to be right where her eyes might be if she were looking at us. But if she were looking right at us, you would see the largest green eyes a cat can have. She is so sweet and friendly. But she doesn’t want you to pick her up, and she runs at the slightest noise. We will still work at getting her in to take her to a vet and get her fixed and vaccinated. Then I will really want her as an indoor kittyโtoo many dangers out here in the country.
Remember these?
I didn’t like how they looked on the cuff, so I frogged them and started with a comparable color toe.
I won’t bore you with the other 8 pairs of socks I’m working on.ย And I’m still learning to knit toe-up, two-at-a-time, magic circle. I’ve shared this video a couple times, but I am still using it to learn. So here you go.

Linda G. Hill prompts us with One-liner Wednesday.
Success! Spaghetti Squash for a second time in my Instapot. I little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, and I had a good breakfast. AND I finally figured out why my phone and the pot didn’t connectโthe wrong password. So if any of you have an instapot that is wifi connected, you need not give it its own name and password. It needs your wifi name and password. So now I may be able to figure out more things to make and keep track of the cooking without standing in the kitchen watching the pot because, as you know, a watched instapot doesn’t …
I meant to tell you all yesterday that I managed to go to the doctor to set up my PCP. Yay me!!! So now I can get busy and find out what ails me and fix the problems I can. She was happy to hear about my Intermittent Fasting and leaning toward Keto. I am not being harsh with myself. I’m getting better at having salad and salmon or sardines a couple times a day and letting go of the bread, at least, and working on better carbs. My waistband is looser. One of my favorite breakfasts, which is after 12 noon, is salmon with olive oil, garlic, and parsley with spring mix then cheese. Pop in the microwave, and it is beautiful to look at and so tasty. I was a vegetarian until now. I wanted to be vegan but cheese. So I figured I need all that the salmon can give my old body, a lot more protein than I had been able to manage before. And the plus of Keto is cheese. I’m just narrowing my eating time and making sure it is more healthy than before. It’s been a few weeks of growing into it, and I think this is something I can make a good habit of.
Just Jot It January 2021 โ We didย it!
I feel pretty proud that in spite of myself and the world at large, I managed to blog every day this past month. I must admit that a couple of them weren’t labeled JJIJ but if the rules of even a shopping list counts as jotting, then the occasional book review or whatever I ended up doing instead.
So it is with honor that I accept the participant badge of this year. (And put off until tomorrow for a promptless blog entry.)
Thank you, Linda, for a fun way to keep the writing going. As soon as I have new glasses, I will get over and read yours and everyone else’s blogs. I miss reading them all so much!
Though I have enjoyed Just Jot It January, I think it is the greatest prompt to end the month. I’m glad to see the daily prompt gone as my brain can’t seem to think of something to write. Yet here we are on the verge of February and all the candy of the day that celebrates love.
I think that I will miss a prompt-a-day, though as I will now have to think of what to write about with no prompt. Ah, well. It’s been fun. Enjoy your candy!
The end choice in the boredom of what I want to watch next is Reign. I’ve passed it up so many times as it seemed a teenie bopper choice. Even from the beginning the modern music and the prom dresses throw all believability out the window.ย If you are looking for something with true historic meaning, you’ll not find it here. But if you want a fun show to watch that is nevertheless a bit of a lesson to said teenie boppers of how females were treated and how little has changed in a lot of cases, while hoping to never go back to that life, this is your new show. Just suspend belief even from theย beginning.
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โthe beginning, the end.โ Write about the beginning of something and the end of something. Bonus points if your first sentence contains โthe endโ and your last sentence contains โthe beginning.โ <โ Read that again. Have fun!
