weekend's progress

while i haven't done a lick of homework all weekend (soon to be remedied.... i hope) i have done a lot of other stuff. 

i hung out with my friend jen and worked on a bunch of embroidery.  some of it was belly dance related and some just random embroidery just for fun.  i am working on a costuming concept of interchangeable, mix-n-match costuming pieces that you can assemble using strategically placed hooks.  any belt can be combined with any other panels/jingly things/fringe strips using standardized fasteners that are installed on everything.

i sewed a prototype choli and found that the pattern is good except that it leaves a LOT of cleavage/chest bared.  i don't know how scandalous i am comfortable being.  i am going to make some changes to the pattern and sew up choli prototype 2.0.

i cooked up some cheezy-lime 'chicken' chili.  it is pretty much amazing.  i love it and want to cook it for you right now.  when are you coming to town???  the recipe calls for freezing and then pressing the tofu.  it gives it a really nice texture and the cooking it with all of the spices makes it taste super good.
