    You’ll love Green Gable, such an easy knit!

    Happy birthday to A.!
    I still wish you could get yogurt here that’s REALLY like the yogurt in Greece. With honey and walnuts, too.

    Nineteen, already? Really? I can not believe this!
    And about the yogurt, I too discoverd it lately, but the whole fat version, yummie. In a magazine was said eat it for breakfast with apricot and honey and walnuts. I switched the walnuts for almond pieces, hmmmmm :)

    That cake looks delicious!

    That’s my favorite yogurt, too. I just started mixing the 2% with nonfat to make a sort of 1% as I’m a weight watcher….but the nonfat just doesn’t cut it. The cake looks incredibly yummy! (Sigh…) And your knitting, yummy too – as always.

    Cake looks delish! My youngest is 19. Aren’t you constantly amazed that they turn into real people?

    Green Gable looks like it’s making good progress.

    Fage 2%? Every day at lunch. I add some raw pecan pieces, a bit of maple syrup, and I am in yoghurt heaven.

    I love your weekly updates. Such a fun way to highlight the summer — quick, before it slips away!

    Glad you like that yogurt! It’s the one I found at JFK last summer and really loved. Maybe not as good as the Greek Gods one but a lot fewer calories—

  16. Rebecca on 09 Aug 2009 at 8:26 pm

    Okay…so you are about the third person praising this Greek yogurt so I guess it is time I try to locate some! The cake looks delicious. Happy birthday to your young adult. It is amazing how quickly our kids grow up!

    I’ve been eating the Fage for dessert mixed with frozen blueberries and a little honey or brown sugar (gives it a little caramel-y flavor).

  19. Judy on 12 Aug 2009 at 10:16 am

    Looks great!

    Hi,
    I am wondering if I can purchase the forest canopy shawl with my credit card as I do not have pay pal???
    Thanks… Penny

    Happy to find your blog. I see you at the shop occassionally. Love the green gable, how are you liking the cotton fleece? And where here did you find the yogurt?… save me some time searching ;0)

  22. Kim Tyler on 09 Sep 2009 at 3:49 pm

    Oh, I LOVE Fage yogurt! I buy it in the big containers at Costco for about $5 – way cheaper than the small containers which are 2 bucks at my store!! I mix a little bit of stevia in it, add fresh strawberries and a few frozen blueberries, and it is heavenly!!!

    Heard about your blog from my LYS (here in San Diego).
