Rice

 One of the food items that is almost impossible for me to eat.  Even water with each mouthful, it sticks and will not go down.  Why isn't a liquid aid similar to saliva available?   Geez.

The rice stitch isn't much easier for me.  Please don't think that Krista was being critical, absolutely not the case, it was a comment about her Rachel finish.  I'm grateful that she did because I decided to change the large center flower since the white thread fill was not done yet.  The alphabet and band would not be noticed and will stay basic.  

I started on the center and proved once again that I have issue with tension and uniformity which is important for speciality stitches.  To me anyway.  After removing the flower, I will move to the right border for a bit.  Lots of appointments and I have to get to the facility for several things, Monday to Pittsburgh.  Then I will take my time and attempt neat rice stiches.  



I love these on sandwich, salad, anything.

Have a good day!

You must be tired of doctors by now! We used to live in Mt Olive NC where the pickles were made. This was in the early 90’s and the process included huge outdoor vats that were open air. Ugh. I doubt this is still done but it made me wonder.

I'm glad Krista wasn't nit-picking your work! Also glad you aren't ripping out the alphabet and band. Had you not said anything yesterday, 99.9% of the people who see Rachel finished would never know the difference. I've made some basic quick picked red onions, these look even better! It looks like red bell pepper in it also?

Good luck on all your appointments this week!

Marly: I think I have to look this Vidalia stuff up I love pickles and relish of any kind even just on a spoon and licking, yum.
I sure hope you are soon finished with the doc's, you must be a very strong Lady to have to go through this.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
I have a friend who cannot eat rice or noodles, its the same for her, cannot get them past the back of the throat.

Pickled onion strips, never heard of them. I wonder if they're available here in CA or if I just haven't noticed them. I can't wait to try them on a hamburger or grilled cheese sandwich.

What's wrong with me??? (Don't answer that...it was rhetorical.) I see nothing wrong with your rice stitches?? Not that I'm an expert on rice stitches...or rice, which I don't like much. Don't like pickle relish or pickled onions much either. Wow...this comment took a nosedive quickly. ~Robin~
