This is the afghan I’ve been working on for the last 3 years or so. Husband says it looks like a wonky scarf. I’m getting there. I only know one stitch and I often forget that I’m working on it. But I’ll pull it out every now and then and crochet while watching tv or…

Last night we had chili I made in the crock pot. You know how chili always tastes better the next day? Well, this chili tasted next day good on the 1st go round. The recipe is posted here. I prepped everything Tuesday night then turned it on before I went to work yesterday. Husband likes…
