Happy Veteran's Day. We opened one of Inspector Gadget's MRE's (Meal Ready to Eat) the other day. I've learned not to ask why we have things like MRE's. Maybe my cooking got bad for a while. Anyway, it was fun to see what was in one and use the cooking bag to heat up the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The instructions were kind of funny and I cannot recommend the cracker. Maybe I should have put some of the jelly on it. The MRE experiment made me appreciate our veterans even more. I think I'll
Adopt a Soldier and get a care package together.
It's also Corduroy Appreciation Day. Nifty quilts has a great post linking to
30 corduroy quilts. Save the wales.
Crafty Gemini has a neat tutorial for
Grab-N-Go potholders.
Finished! I hope this wheelchair lap quilt keeps one of our veterans warm and cozy. It's pretty great living in a country that works so hard to protect us. I wish I could make everyone a home-cooked meal to show my appreciation.
Thank you for the Adopt a Soldier link. My son is in the Army and recently brought home MREs for us to try.

Am I a terrible person to say that the first thing I thought when I saw that first picture was "Why does Michele have pictures of condoms on her blog??"
