A little knitting and a little cooking

The Iceling Cardigan should have been done by now but, you know, summer interfered. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

The next thing happening with it, is the buttonhole row. I've done sweaters before but I can't remember doing a one row buttonhole so this will be a new experience. Hopefully a good one!

Yesterday I did a bit of cooking. It was the annual Test Plot Tour for our seed plant. Only it rained. So we did the whole thing at the plant instead of in the field.

The AgriPro Wheat representative did a powerpoint presentation and afterwords I fed everyone. Well, I didn't feed them personally I just cooked and served the food. ;) There were about 30 people there and that was a good turnout considering the weather.

We brought 2 grills out to the plant and 3rd DS and I cooked hamburgers and brats while the talk was going on. I had quite a smoke smudge going. I can't grill without a nice fire flareup happening! We did 48 brats and 35 hamburgers.

I had bought 10# of potato salad and made a big crockpot of calico beans. There was an assortment of condiments and these "zero" calorie little puppies...

They look pretty sad all alone on the big pan but they still are tasty. Rice Krispie bars with a caramel layer topped with fudge frosting. They went like hotcakes!
