first world problems

I went to start dinner last night and needed a recipe.  I have not memorized my sourdough biscuit recipe yet so I went to my blog.  This site was down!  I was more panicked that I could not get to my recipes then whether I could share my day or weekend with you!  That is how often I use my blog.  I usually have the recipe index up on my phone browser so while I am working in the kitchen my recipes are right there.  I am such a geek.  I do keep thinking that I should make hardcopy recipes in some form but I am not sure what.  And the recipes are still growing.

But I knew what recipe I used as a jumping off place and was able to pull that up for my biscuits.  My blog did come up last night but by the time it had, I was ready not to deal with a computer.  So, there was walk and an ice cream cone instead.  A simple slow life.  Some people call that the art of slow living.  I think of it just as an enjoyable evening.  I am odd.

Remember, I broke my favorite H crochet hook.  My replacement hook arrived!  I spent a few pennies on it.  It is a Furls.  My hands have been aching and they offer a hand health guarantee but I am finding in my limited usage that it is easier on my shoulder too.  I have been being careful about doing my shoulder exercises and stretches but I have noticed that crocheting for too long hurts the shoulder.  The shape of this hooks lets my hand and wrist relax more which is seeming to allow my shoulder to relax as well.  This is all good.  

Furls has a less expensive line then the handmade wood hooks.  I ordered some of those as well.  I will use them until I save the pennies for my most frequently used sizes to all be made in wood.  Tool junky.  I know.
