*k2tog, k2, yo, k1, yo, k2, sl1, k1, psso; rep from *

I can finish a hat before Sunday's baby shower, right? Alas, it will definitely be too big for a newborn infant but it's too late I have DVRed plenty of House - the ultimate knitting show because the dialogue is snappy (but not schmaltzy! *ahem* CSI) so the listening is good, and the episodes are generally formulaic enough that I know when to tune in or zone out. Hopefully I can finish it tonight and block it Friday or Saturday.

It was also a great excuse not to cook last night - I needed the time to devote to the hat. Instead we ordered calzones from Pizza 21 for probably the 6th or 7th time since we've moved. Mr. Boyfriend is sick, so it was a break for both of us.

Plus, we've been having a running argument about our cooking - I change it up, reading cookbooks, trying different recipes, and branching out with new ingredients. He just makes whatever's in the fridge/pantry - namely pasta with vegetables xyz and a jar of sauce. I know there are merits to both styles, but I feel like my efforts to serve dishes, when compared to what I've deemed his Kitchen-Sink-Method, go unappreciated.

Still, he cooks - period. So I shouldn't complain.

I could eat pasta every day, but Joe insists that we live like "normal adults" and have real meals.
