I stumbled upon a list of Naughty or Nice for Quilters that made me laugh and I just had to share with you.
Naughty...
✦ You added more items to your UFO list than you completed
✦ You measured once and had to cut twice
✦ You bought too much and had to sneak packages inside
✦ You got busy sewing and forgot to make dinner
✦ You photocopied the pattern and cheated the designer out of her due
✦ You turned into the "Quilt Police"
✦ You bought the book/pattern you already owned because you have so many you forgot you already have it
✦ You spoke like a sailor when you realized you were sewing with no bobbin thread
Nice...
✦ You finished your project!
✦ You gave a quilted item as a gift
✦ You rejoice in your friends' quilting successes
✦ You donate your time and talent to sew for worthy causes
✦ You shared your best scraps
✦ You shared tiny pieces for crazy friends or pet beds
✦ You taught your skill to a new quilter
✦ You did a sewing chore for someone who doesn't sew
If you need a little help with item 4 on the naughty list - forgot to make dinner a time or two I can help you out.
Here's a new No Guilt::Go Quilt slow cooker recipe that I found for Cashew Chicken...
Crock Pot Cashew Chicken
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thigh tenders or chicken breast tenders
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
4 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
4 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup cashews
Directions:
Place diced chicken in a slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
Combine 1/4 cup water and 4 teaspoons Tapioca starch (or corn starch) and stir into the sauce to thicken. Serve over rice with some stir-fry veggies. Garnish with cashews.
Makes 4-6 servings.
So how do you measure up?
Are you a "Naughty" quilter?
Or a "Nice" quilter?
In all honesty, I confess to a few of items on the "naughty" list, but I can check off more items on the "nice" list. How 'bout you?
Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!
Merry Christmas,
Melva
I’m a mixture of both. I think I need to try your recipe; although I have been trying to do some early sewing so even putting dinner in the crockpot can be a challenge
ReplyDeleteWell, there are a couple of Naughty and I try more Nice. Great post! Hugs. Love the Christmas stocking.
ReplyDeleteSo definitely a few naughtys, but more nices for me! I copied that recipe for tomorrow's dinner!
ReplyDeleteNice of course! A few not nice, but like a few ufos or calories, it doesn’t count.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely guilty of 1-4 and 7 on the naughty list, but pretty much all on the nice list!!! This is a great list for quilters, Melva! I may have to share that on my blog! Thanks for the recipe...it sounds awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHi Melva! I had to giggle at the last naughty item - "you spoke like a sailor." HAHA! I may do this on small occasions. I guess I definitely lean toward the "nice" side on the quilters list. This was a fun past! I'm working on the latest Pieces block today. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI'm a mix, but have barely sewn a stitch this year. Not sure if it is Covid, or the fact that I'm waiting for a new hip surgery, next March. (ouch!)
