Coasters, dishcloth and can cozy for At My House Group Exchange

I belong to At My House group on Yahoo and participating in the monthly coaster exchange. The rules are pretty simple: By joining this exchange, you are committing to
send 1 coaster made of either yarn or thread (to your assigned exchange partner. It can be either crocheted or knitted.

I crochet 4 coasters, 1 dish/washcloth and a can cozy out of Peaches & Cream, color 180 Peppercorn Ombre. They will go to Pam in Kalamazoo MI, hope she likes them.

The coasters are just 4 rows of double crochet and one of single crochet not really a pattern.

The can cozy/sox pattern can be found here

The Basket Rib Dishcloth pattern is here 

Great Recipes thanks to Becky and Alex!

We had a wonderful surprise on Saturday, April 3rd. Alex and Becky invited us to a cooking class at Great News in Pacific Beach. The class was given by Jean-Paul Weber. Jean-Paul is a native of Alsace, an Eastern region of France which has one of the richest and most varied cuisines in the country.

He prepared four salads, a marinated fish dish and Individual Wild Mushroom Pate in Phyllo Dough with Tarragon Sauce and a Pear and Almond Tart for dessert.

Everything was DELICIOUS!

We made three of the salads and the fish for friends on Friday, April 9 and everyone loved the food. Forgot to take photos but we will be making the recipes again and we'll take photos then
