Well, I think we can all agree that this heat which is plaguing the country is what my older kids would jokingly refer to as "Off da' Hook" hot ! We went from rainy and dark days to scorching heat! It's what they refer to on India food menus as "India Hot"! OK, maybe I'm exaggerating but it is pretty damn hot here in NJ. Let's face it ...it is Summer. My poor kitty above is finding whatever shade she can ...the butterflies seem to be fluttering everywhere...and my portulaca's seem to love the heat!
Speaking of "Off the Hook" the crochet hook that is... I finished "Dirk the Dragon" for my son . I think it is a winner with him! This adorable crocheted dragon is from Lalylala on Etsy. These patterns are extremely well written and a lot of fun to do. Of course we had to do the Dragon as we are huge Game Of Thrones fans. I have read all the books and am eagerly waiting for the next book. Come on who doesn't love the Dragon Queen. She is so Bad A*$! Ok lets get back on topic as I could talk all day this ;-). My next doll to make is the "Loni the Lion" for my oldest daughter and my younger daughter needs to pick one out to. You know at 20 & 16 you still need dolls made by mommy!
Back to the real business ...We have a winner of the Christmas in July giveaway...Congratulations ...

"Your flower pictures are so pretty! But I really love your crocheted pansies! They are so delicate. I have made Gingerbread men for a bunting, and a gingerbread mug rug so far. It was hard to get started but then I began to really enjoy doing it... with no deadlines! Lovely giveaway!! "
I applaud your Christmas in July work ethic! Send me your info so I can get it right out to you. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I really do love hearing form all of you !
The recipe above is a knock off by me from a favorite spot in Philly Le Pain Quotidien's Avocado tartine. Mine is sans the tartine. Combine canned chick peas(rinsed), chopped avocado, radish,watercress, good quality olive oil and a splash of lemon juice or your favorite vinegar and S&P . You will have a very light and refreshing dish!
Thank you everyone for commenting...I will have another giveaway for Christmas in July next week.
Stay safe and cool!

How cute is Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle!!
Jay: Well, this is fate! She's divorced, we don't want to redo the cabinets, and you need a wife. What do they call it when everything intersects?
Sam Baldwin: The Bermuda Triangle.
