I am not sure if I've blogged about it before, but there is a really good casserole (can you tell I've been on a casserole kick lately?) with rice, cheese, broccoli, and cream of mushroom soup. Well, on Friday, we had leftover plain white rice and a bag of spinach to use up. After looking online, I found a recipe for the same thing as the broccoli rice casserole but instead of broccoli, you can substitute a whole bag of spinach! You simply saute it and add it to the casserole. The leftover rice also made this really quick since that took 20 minutes off the cook time! It's really good and hardly even tastes like spinach, considering how much is in there.
The other big thing from this weekend is that I have finished knitting my leg warmers! This was my first knitting project. Before this, I had only done some practice stitches. I needed to learn double pointed needles to complete this but it only takes knit and purl stitches.
The ribbing is knit one, purl one for an inch and a half (for me, that's about 11 rows). Then you knit,knit, knit for the desired length. For me, this was 73 rows. Then you rib again the same as the top ribbing. I knit really tight and wanted my bottom ribbing to be different than my top ribbing so I could tell the difference between the top and bottom (it doesn't really matter. It's just the style I like). To achieve this, I knitted the bottom ribbing tighter than the top.
Despite the picture only showing one, I promise you I made two. So the right side shows the tighter ribbing. I think they turned out great! My yarn was 268 yards but I didn't use the whole thing. I'll have to find a small project to use the rest up. I plan on wearing these running with my capri leggings so maybe I will knit some other matching accessory.
