No, it isn't time for an Easter egg hunt! All of my sources of eggs have not had eggs in forever. I finally ran out of eggs and bought some at Aldi Thursday. This morning I started to fix breakfast and realized all I had were some not so great grocery store eggs. There are a couple of places near here that have "Eggs for Sale" signs. Yesterday I told Vince when we were on our way home from the ...
A Slithering Creature
If you don't like seeing slithering creatures, you may want to stop reading . . though I think the one and only photo below is not bad or scary. The story I'm about to tell is scary or, for me it was. I'm still shaking. I only grew a few sweet potatoes this year and I kept the vines trimmed to about 36" because last year, we had a BIG problem with mice outside and I think they had been living ...
Baking and Freezing Bread
Recently I read that making sourdough bread, slicing it, freezing it, then defrosting as needed and toasting it reduces the glycemic spike response.

They don't all look so small but that's a 9" pan. I got them iced and thought about waiting til they cooled but decided ...
Beef in a Jar
I'm not sure if my canning has gotten better or if I'm easier to please in my old age or if cross stitching matters more than eating and I'll put any old thing on the table and be happy about it. Today I had planned to fix chicken shawarma and homemade pita bread for lunch. We usually eat about 2 so I had planned to get started cooking a little before 12. About 11 Vince told me he was hungry . ...
A Busy Stitching Day
Yesterday was the day Debbie and I got together to stitch . . and talk and laugh and share things we had seen on flosstubes and whatever else caught our attention on YouTube. The dogs were up way early . . before 5 but I managed to go back to sleep until about 5:20 a.m. Finally got up, took them both for a walk, came back in and got dressed and still had over two hours before I needed to leave ...
