Every Sunday, a small group of friends coalesces for a potluck dinner. According to my mother, when I moved out on my own, I insisted that two pots was too many, but the high cooking standards of my foodie potlucking friends have led me from barely able to make pasta to loving to cook.
This week's recipe was Wild Rice Salad from Elise at Simply Recipes. It is a scrumptious blend of crunchy rice, crispy veggies, toasted pine nuts, and dried cranberries with an olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing.
Elise's salad is cold. I prefer such concoctions hot, and the groups prefers brown rice over white, so I've made modifications. This one's a keeper!Labels: Recipe of the Week

Having passed the week tired, grumpy, and spending all of my time doing things for other people, I went crazy on Saturday. I've got a ton of photos to process, but here's a preview of pieces which will become available soon!
First, we have a lovely red stone on a sterling bail on a necklace of hand-wrapped striped agate balls and fire-roasted agate wavy coins. (They're really fire-crackled agate, but it tickles me to call them fire-roasted -- like peppers!)

Next, a rope of tigereye, cultured pearls, and green apple turquoise studded with pewter accents, pewter cones and an ornate floral toggle clasp.
