Supposed to be Friday Food 08-28-20

This is the new Blogger!  I do wonder what was wrong with the old Blogger, it worked for me.   They are really taking all the joy out of blogging, arent' they?


I know I have talked about this before, but it is my latest addiction. 
Talenti gelato Coffee Chocolate Chip.  I blame this on my friend Beth who served it to me at the beginning of the year, before Covid-19.  It calls to me from the freezer in the middle of the night - I have succumbed a couple times!  But the problem is that it appears to be the favorite of many people. For items that TJoe's doesn't carry I generally shop at Albertson's and Ralph's, but all those stores are usually out of stock on this particular flavor.  They have shelves full of Talenti, but only an empty space where the shelf tag indicates Coffee Chocolate Chip.   I think I really shouldn't tell you about this because you also might become addicted.  Don't, you will be haunting all your local grocery stores for more, even in the middle of the night!   I now have about a quarter cup left that is a siren song on this warm evening.  I may have to resort to ordering groceries online in the hope they can supply this yearned for product.  Good luck to you.

The end of the SAQA alphabet challenge 08-27-20


These are the last two quilts I posted on the SAQA alphabet challenge on Facebook.   There are no quilts starting with "X" or "Z" in the Collection.

 

"W" is for "Winter Tree"  Britt Friedman  2002  27"W X 34.5"L

When this quilt was hanging in the museum I sat to look at it and three ladies came through looking at the quilts. One looked closely at this piece and said to her friends, "Well, it isn't really a quilt, it is just a photograph." See how far we have come in 18 years? I do love this quilt and admire the artist's exploration of photos on fabric.


"Y" is for "Yellow-headed Blackbird" by Ruth Powers  2009  12" square.
