Ooops!  If you downloaded earlier than noon cst 12-20-18, you got my "directors cut" long version of episode 16...sorry about that. This is the edited episode 16 with a new segment on making vanilla extract!  So be sure that you have episode 16 that is 52:40 minutes long.

It is the last episode of 2018! Do you find at the end of every year, you are marveling at how it went by so fast?  Well, here we are again, nearing the end of another year.  When I reflect back on this past year, I realize I did more than I thought.  I put together a Best Sewing Stuff 2018. There were a lot of notions, patterns and tools that I used a lot over 2018 and these are the best of them.
I share my look ahead for 2019, which for me means setting goals for the year.  
Lastly, I update on what's happening here in Chicagoland - what I'm watching, and reading, including youtube and netflix plus a new movie at the actual theater, as well as a Christmas story by Frances Dowell and a long awaited library book.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
