Ridiculously useful evening last night... well, mostly...
WhenI got home last night, I was *starving*. Like, cranky-from-lack-of-food-and-biting-N's-head-off starving. This confused me for a second - I *ate* lunch - until I realized that Lunchables, while an acceptable lunch, are only about 300 calories. Given that I had been, before going on a take-lunch-in-kick, eating WAY too much fastfood (which is what, 300 calories per bite? I exaggerate, but still)... not a surprise. Especially since I had run out of Clif bars, and so hadn't eaten breakfast this week. So I decided to make scones for the rest of the week... a variation on this recipe, but with almonds and chocolate chips and a bit of vanilla instead of pecans. Are they tasty? I have *no* idea. You see, somebody (looks pointedly at the next cube over - yes, my husband and I have adjacent blocks of cubeland) forgot about them this morning. So I got no breakfast.
Well, that would have been true except there was a sales rep with a birthday yesterday, who didn't show up to get his cake, so we had birthday cake at 10 in the morning. I'm weirdly hyper now....
Anyway, once the scones were made I delegated dinner to the husband, who was supposed to make tacos but we forgot to buy cheese. PapaJohn's to the rescue.... while I went and worked on cuisses... lots and lots of cuisses.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
puck_eater's are done, except for hems and eyelets. (And I think I'm going to do eyelets Fri evening when we get there, that way they're DEFINITELY in the right spot.) BoyG's are cut out, and the dags and 3 of the ropes are in on one of them. The rope thing looks like it's going to work *really* well, if the fabric holds up. (Which I'm a little dubious of, this is more stash-cleaning, and the wool is a bit soft...) Also, I picked up some cute little fleur-de-lis.... things. I have no idea what you'd call them, they're a metal fleur-de-lis with 4 spikes on the back, stick them on your fabric then fold the spikes over. Anyway, there's gonna be one on each dag... He's gonna look sharp now. Especially since the gambeson, which was getting REALLY scary, got redyed last night. I may have used a BIT too much dye, it's now... black. Really black. Like black-hole-sucking-up-all-available-light black. ::giggle::
