Sewing Machine Woes - Help!

Looks like my Softie for Mirable project just took a back seat....the sewing machine decided it's had enough!! Noooooooooo!

The feed dog that feeds the fabric under the presser foot isn't moving. And I wasn't even sewing through thick fabric. Any suggestions?

Dinner at Nobu





2 weeks into my new job and to celebrate my first paycheck, we went to Nobu at the casino to have a nice dinner. The food was a bit pricey but very yummy! The pictures speak for themselves!

Entree was a beef tataki with ponzu sauce and garlic chips

I had a melt in your mouth black cod with miso sauce (although this was quite expensive given the size)

D had a prawn and lobster something-or-other

And we had sake in this absolutely adorable wooden box called a 'masu'. I came so close to sneaking it in my bag and taking it home!!!

But the piece de resistance of the night was the dessert...

These are a kind of doughnut filled with chocolate in the middle...it was absolutely DIVINE. The chocolate was warm and gooey and really cocoa-y (if there's such a word). Mmm....I'm getting goosebumps just thinking of it...mmm.

Here's the picture of the uber delicious centre...wait for it....


Mmm...
