This is not a post about fashionable food, or foodie fashionistas. Rather, it's two disparate subjects in the same post. A potpourri with just two ingredients, you might say.
I have a small (ahem) collection of scarves and love wearing them in any season except for the hottest days of summer. But how many ways can you tie a scarf? Well, more than I thought, apparently. Click on the video - Wendy shows 25 ways to wear a scarf in just 4.5 minutes. It's a fun video to watch and I know I learned a few things. If I can just remember them when I want to.

Last night I made a pear cranberry crisp. I was feeling creative and made a few additions that I think made it more than just a crisp. Not that the basic crisp recipe is lacking in any way - but sometimes, it's fun to change things up. I'll put up a recipe on my other blog. (edited to add, here's a link to the recipe.) I added some candied ginger to the crumb mix along with freshly grated nutmeg (my new taste love) and of course, cinnamon. Warm and spicy, with a hint of cranberry tartness, it was just the thing for a very rainy wet west coast evening.
Who'd-a-thunk it! So many ways to tie a scarf! the braid is cool!

Thanks Lorrie for the scarf video. I've been wearing scarves for years, before they became the cool thing to do, but I'm a very boring scarf wearer. Ill give some of these ideas a go.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant scarf ideas. Must try to copy some of them.
ReplyDeletei like these scarf ideas :)

What a great video! Thanks for sharing it...like you, I may not remember how to tie one of those cool knots when needed!!
ReplyDeleteNow that was interesting and so well done. I like the waterfall and the magic trick and something else that I've already forgotten. One thing I know, my scarf is not long enough for any of these.
ReplyDeleteA scarf and a warm and sweet fruit crisp - I think you've got the recipe for surviving this rain. Isn't it something?
ReplyDeleteI love to wear a scarf too and always end up wrapping and looping it the same way every time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the scarf tying tips.
A perfect post for this time of the year...scarves and crisps. I will be back for further scarf tying lessons as needed!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have found your lovely blog today! I am now a follower ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the scarf video. So inspiring!
That is a really cool video! Thanks for showing it to us.
ReplyDeleteLast summer, I saw TONS of young girls in short shorts, wearing scarves around their necks. I thought it looked odd, but hey...I guess I'm getting old. LOL
I love that yummy cobalt blue color!
Your crisp sounds yummy, too. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for telling us all that went into it, too.
fondly,
Rett
I can see I'll need to get more creative in scarf-tying!
