Kimonos and Sundaes

I finished the body of the kimono coat thanks to a couple of dry temperate days :)

There’s also the slight possibility that the back is too narrow - just a skosh.  I could undo the shoulder seams and rip back to the center panel (Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!) where a bit more room could be added.  I could try to undo a stripe in the center panel, crochet some more rows and just stitch the thing back together.  Have any of you done that?  Is that even do-able?  Is there a way to incorporate extra room in the front that won’t be weird looking?  I suppose I can just leave it as it is, finish it up and hold on to it until I lose some weight - or give it as a gift to someone it will fit.

We are fond of muffins here and have them fairly often.  A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try something.  This idea came, mostly, from talking with my dad.  He says he likes muffins but that the ones available these days are way too sweet and might as well be cupcakes.

Cupcakes? 

Aha!

Thus was born the muffin sundae :)

First, you take a muffin (or a few of the little bite-sized muffinettes which is what we have here)…

Then you crumble them into your bowl of choice :)





Nuke for about 45 seconds.





And add your favorite ice cream. 





You can even put a cherry on top :)

Myria likes to mix her ice cream in with the muffin bits.  I just spoon it on top and mix as I eat.  Any toppings you might happen to have laying about would probably enhance this nicely - we just don’t generally have anything like that.  Certainly not slimming, but pretty cool anyway.  Fun too!

Happy Wednesday, all!

No trackbacks yet.

1. the very thought of alterations makes me throw my hands in the air and run screaming from a project- since your kimono is made in one piece i think ‘adding’ on might prove difficult, and i would think that adding to the front alone wouldn’t alleviate the problem with the back and still maintain a proportional fit- ha, helpful as ever, that’s me!!

   umm, regarding the muffins & etc- i can remember my grandmother wishing for a bowl of cornbread and buttermilk which she claimed she remembered as a ‘delicacy’ from her youth-

   stay happy-

2. Barb - Yeah, I think alterations are probably out too.  I’ll have to carry on and see what happens.

   In my family’s history, it was crackers and milk.  I think dad still does this once in a reat while.  I’ve tried it...eeewwwwwww
