I thought I’d try to post a little more. Mostly, I am a photo-inspired blogger, so I’m participating in the post-a-week “thing” at wordpress. One of the topics for yesterday was about concentration. I can be very focused and actually work better that way. Multi-tasking dilutes my concentration and I am especially distracted by sound. [...]
Repeats, that is what has been happening around here lately. Knitting of many hats for soldiers (classic watch cap) Baking of many biscuits… Parmesean cheese biscuits buttermilk wheat biscuits Visiting of several local and ‘on the way’ wineries… Silliness of a little Bug, who is doing well in kindergarten, is learning to read, and has [...]
The Brown County fair this year brought some GIGANTIC pumpkins! The winner was 654 pounds! Usually we take little Bug’s picture on the largest pumpkin, but they had them fenced off this year The recycled art was again a favorite of mine. the pepsi can dress won big… but my personal favorite was the John [...]
The summer has surely been flying by and we’ve been up to lots. So, let’s start with vacation – Museum of the Rockies and Yellowstone. We flew out to Montana in early June. This was Bug’s first airplane ride that she will remember. We arrived in Bozeman, MT and had lunch/breakfast at The Cat Eye [...]
Chugging away here—– MORE THAN mid-way through the 3 week semester… got some antibiotics for my ’2 weeks and counting’ cold… picked up out CSA box several times (Avalon Acres)… finished my first project in cashmere (Jojoland lace) and watched our girl graduate from pre-school…
Lots of working going on around here, so there is little of most everything else. I did try a few new recipes – the winners of the bunch were Grilled turkey with apple chutney and candied garlic green beans. DH picked up the recipe card from Publix – where he tasted the dishes. It is [...]
Things are the same here – work, cook, sleep, etc, etc. The butternut squash soup from the Sheepish Little Blog (Knitscape) has been THE SOUP for a few weeks now – sad to see they are giving it up. Pumpkin Cheesecake and Banana Cheesecake were some of the cheesecake experiments here – both were a [...]
Well, that title describes what I’ve been doing with my “free” time lately. I’ve been working on finding a good pound cake recipe since the horrible disaster a few weeks ago. I tried the Pound cake recipe (with fresh blackberries) from the next to latest Martha Stewart Living – it was HORRIBLE! too salty! I [...]
The Bug and I helped Uncle G make hamburgers from scratch (grind meat, bake buns, make ketchup, relish, and mustard) as inspired by an article in Gourmet magazine. They were very good, especially those that were more coursely ground. I’ve also made a few dishcloths… This last one didn’t handle the ‘up-sizing’ as well as [...]
My last class for the summer was today – whew! It has been a whirlwind of classes… only grades left to assign and calculate. We’ve gotten some green beans out of the garden and the squash are doing some serious blooming. The blackberries are formed their nice little green orbs. The CSA boxes are started [...]
