This time, I tried it in the crock-pot and I have to say, it's better on the stove. Why do things cooked in crock-pots have that weird, sour taste? Am I doing something wrong?
Our trip to the Upper Peninsula was so much fun. It snowed and snowed and snowed. I loved being able to celebrate with Dustin and Julie, help them with what they needed before the big day, and just spend time with family during such a happy time. I loved all of the beautiful snow, staying at the cozy hobbit house and the chalet, going to The Bell.
The wedding was lovely. Winter weddings are so cozy feeling. The Bride and Groom both looked great and everyone had a great time. Monica’s cake was so beautiful and everything turned out great. 
I have been knitting with cotton a lot lately. Garter stitch, ftw. I just love how the little bumpies of garter stitch look. It looks rustic and classic, especially with cotton yarn. It’s also pretty mindless, which is kind of what I need. So I am whipping up quick little cotton projects, in an attempt to get cracking on that #1 New Years goal.
I did a lot of knitting over winter break. It was so much fun to have the time to relax, watch Christmas movies and knit, knit, knit.
I also did a good bit of reading. I kicked off the Year of Virginia Woolf with a biography written by her nephew. It wasn’t very good. I’ve started The Voyage Out, her first novel, and at 100 pages I am finding it a pleasure to read. I love that Mrs. Dalloway is in it, as that is the only other book I’ve read by Woolf.
