Pasta bean something and look! Hibiscus!

Today was a bit under the weather day, very hot, didn't get in a walk, since the sun exposure thing, UV index, was high. 

But I did get into stitching, and it's getting there.

The gradual increase in heft as the stitching mounts up is pleasing.  I'm thinking about the next page now, and making little weavings while I think about it.

And early in the week, before food arrives Thursday morning, is sometimes a bit what to eat, bread's done, want to avoid heating up the kitchen.

Anyway, this happened and I'm quite pleased. One can diced tomatoes, can cannellini beans, chunk of Parmesan, chunk of butter, cumin, chili powder, mixed with radiator pasta. 

The garnish is homegrown scallions.  Not sure what this might be called. It's more beans and tomatoes than pasta. It's good though, by any name.

Additional note for people unfamiliar with radiator pasta 

Strawberries and yogurt for dessert. So I guess there was something to eat in the place.

And here's a hugely exciting sight 

Suddenly, finally, the hibiscus I thought would never start, threw out this sturdy growth. This is the replacement for the snowdrops that never grew, well, two out of about 100. 

Up until yesterday, the hibiscus looked like a dead twig, with just a hint of green wood. Now I guess its time has come. So I'm glad I left it alone. 

Happy day, everyone, sometimes doing nothing is a good policy. Then there's this approach 

Guilty as charged.
