Clouds restarted and some cooking thrown in

I have an average of one craving per half hour. Not kidding. Sometimes, the want fades away, leaving a few soft sighs behind, more often however, it does not and I need to have it. The Cloud Bolero is one such thing. Wanting it in India where you can't get 8mm circular needles, frustration. Wanting ti in the US, with needles but no ring markers on hand. Sigh. Cast on. bliss. soft and easy? schmeazy! fatal mistakes and my poor bolero is frogged and reincarnated as two matching watch caps for husband et moi. and now- attempt 2. in a cheaper yarn, but hey what the heck. i need to have this!

i often crave non edible items and that guarantees non instant satisfaction. what is one to do then? simple enough- cook something every now and then. Today was Rajasthani day, with dal-bati and homemade gulab jamuns. The verdict is yet to come since we haven't eaten yet, but i live in hope. And the smell of cinnamon.
