Taco Pizza

So last night I was really in the mood for taco pizza from east of Chicago.  Sadly, they didn't deliver where we were. R talked me into going shopping and making our own and I think we nailed it!

Shopping:
Pizza crust
Mild salsa
Morning star crumbles (want to try with ground beef)
A packet of taco seasoning
Onion
Iceberg lettuce
Colby jack shredded cheese (finely shredded)
sour cream

Prep:
Cook about half lb meat but use full packet of seasoning
Finely dice the onion
Shred the lettuce

Assemble:
On crust spoon out salsa and spread out like you would pizza sauce. Then add the meat and top with about 3/4 of the cheese and 1/2 of onion

Bake according to crust package directions

Top with sour cream (we put ours in a baggie, snipped off a corner and drizzled it on) lettuce, remaining onion and cheese.

Wait about 5-10 minutes for pizza to cool enough to eat and let rest of cheese melt.

East of Chicago also adds diced tomatoes and sliced olives but we omitted those due to taste preferences. 

I'll add pictures next time we make it!

Kathrine's grandmother's dishcloth

I had the opportunity recently to help a very nice lady recreate a dishcloth her grandmother made for her a long time ago.
I must say I'm pretty happy with the results!

Thank you Katherine for allowing me to share this.

Cast on 15 using left thumb loop method

Row 1 (and all ws rows) knit
Row 2: k3, yo, k11 (one stitch remains unworked)
Row 4: k3, yo, k11 (two stitches remain unworked)
Row 6: k3, yo, k11 (three stitches remain unworked)
Row 8: co 3, k10 (continue leaving one more stitch unworked each rs row)
Rows 10, 12, 14: k3, yo, k7
Row 16: co 3, k6
Rows 18, 20, 22: k3, yo, k3
Row 24: co 3, knit all stitches previously left unworked (will look like stockinette row after first three knitted stitches)

Repeat rows 1-24 6 more times for seven repeats.  Co all stitches loosely and sew together edges, picking up and sewing closed the middle circle as well.

When casting off the three stitches on rows 8, 16, & 24 the process I used was knit 2, pass first stitch over and off needle, knit 1, pass first stitch over and off needle,  knit 1, pass first stitch over and off needle again. Three stitches will have been cast off and remaining worked stitch will now be first stitch of the row.
