Designs in Machine Embroidery Interview

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN...

I used to write the last page column for Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine. And I love it when I get an email or have a conversation with somebody who remembers those columns. Denise Holquin, the managing editor of the magazine -- came to the Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup -- and we did this video interview.

YOU'VE GOTTA LOVE TECHNOLOGY!! Please note that we were sitting right in front of the Fisher Scones booth...yummo...

My only regret is that I did not turn around so Eileen's readers could see the BACK OF MY FABULOUS JACKET (embroidered with the show logo by my talented sister, Deborah)...

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
