Sorry for the long absence!! I don’t think I’ve been absent from my blog (or my crafts) for that long of a period! I appreciated the emails and notes from friends checking up on me, they were very sweet. Life sometimes just happens, and sometimes happens in a big way. But I’m glad to be back. =)

And I AM back to knitting. I’m halfway through with my owls sweater. And I’m finally back to cooking. (Poor hubby was on his own in the kitchen for several months. He was a good sport about it.) AND I finally picked up my camera for the first time in MONTHS!! It felt so good to be inspired again. I hope to pick up on my jewelry and sewing soon too.

In the meantime, here are some snapshots of a simple pork rib soup (Chinese style) that I whipped up last weekend.

(With noodles and spinach)

It was a really easy soup to do. Here were the ingredients:

Recipe found here: Chinese Pork Rib Soup
I used light soy sauce (less sodium) and 4-5 cups of water. And voila! A homey simple meal. The meat was really tender, and the broth was really good! I’m definitely keeping this recipe.

And then just because I couldn’t resist, a random shot of Costco pizza from the weekend. (I was on a pizza craving for awhile, so these things really excited me.) =)
