Ottoman

Tom and I spent the weekend working on re-covering an ottoman, and I must say that I am happy with how it turned out.

Before

After

We got the fabric when we got the recliner and Tom and I disassembled the ottoman and took measurements yesterday, and today we cut and sewed the fabric and reassembled the ottoman. Despite my nervousness, it was relatively easy. There are some ripples where we weren't fast enough smoothing the fabric before the spray adhesive started to work, but we'll put that side closest to the chair.

Life Changing?

So, the other day, Tom and I went to Denny's for dinner. When it came time for dessert, there was an item on the milkshake menu that looked intriguing - Horchata. Our server couldn't explain what it was, so I decided to take a chance and order it. It was delicious. Tom ordered his usual vanilla ice cream, but I convinced him to try the extra milkshake that gets left behind. He loved it and finished what he started. He loved it so much, he went back a few days later to get some more. Then, while at the grocery store a few nights ago, we saw that Weis had a limited edition Cinnamon ice cream, so Tom bought two quarts.
If you're thinking about trying it, I recommend it. It isn't too sweet, but it is really rich. I don't think I'd be able to eat it every day, but not because I wouldn't want to!
