Sweatergirl's recipe day

I just put up a recipes page - I've got more work to do, but I hope you enjoy.

Lookie what I picked yesterday! Strawberries are in, at least in southern Michigan. No recipe needed - just wash and eat. Yum.

Quick PB Cookies
I took these to the knit-in and they were well-appreciated!

1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat egg and sugar together until mixed. Add peanut butter. Form into balls and squash crosswise with fork. Bake for about 10 minutes (not sure of time since I was using stoneware, not regular baking sheet).

Barley and Corn Salad
I have been eating this for lunch all week - it's very filling (whole grains, baby!), and it's just fine if it gets warm. Would be good for picnics.

1 cup uncooked barley
3 T red wine vinegar
1 T olive oil
1/4 t salt
1/2 t dried basil
freshly ground pepper
2 cups frozen corn, thawed (or 2 cups fresh corn)
Diced crunchy veggies - bell pepper, cucumber, carrots, and/or celery

Cook and drain barley. Mix vinegar, oil, and spices to make a dressing. Toss veggies and barley with dressing. Refrigerate for a few hours before eating.

Oh yeah - this is supposed to be a knitting blog, right? Here's the Old Friend Aran, with a few more rows done. And have you seen David's Cable Grapher? If you have a cable pattern that is written out (i.e., k4, c4b, etc.), it generates a graph. This could be a great tool and he needs help in testing it. I'm going to dig up some of those Debbie Bliss and Gladys Thompson patterns and try it out this weekend.
