Yesterday was just one of those spring days when you do everything you possibly can outdoors because it is just impossibly beautiful; warm with a nice breeze, sunny but not too so. It was glorious!
I finished another baby girl sweater, this one for Harper. I hope she likes it! Funny, both of these new baby girls live out in San Francisco. This pattern is Elizabeth Zimmerman's February Baby Sweater and I used 1824 cotton. Ravelry link here.
In other springtime news, I started up the grill for another season. My in-laws gave me this grill as a kind of new-baby present after Abe was born and when I cooked last summer, it was on the grill. My favorite thing is to make the entire meal on it, like this:
Yup, that there is a fresh loaf of bread baking in my grill! It works great. You could bake it on a pizza stone in your grill, but my pizza stone doesn't fit along side my pan thingy (I cannot remember what it was called; I bought it at Williams-Sonoma but a quick search of their website did not turn one up. It is essentially a very heavy pan with a trough for oil drippings for cooking veggies and other things that don't work so well on the grill itself. I love it.).
As you can see, baking the bread there worked perfectly.
My bread recipes (all of them these days) all come from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. Last night I just used the "master" (basic) recipe.
Today looks to be another fabulous spring day and Gus has the day off from school so we are off to do projects while Abe naps, then lunch with Chris, and then lots of bike riding. I hope everyone else has as fun a day planned.
