Puttin’ Off Thinkin’ About It
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. Avoiding the thought. You see, tomorrow I have the day off work… so I can have my wisdom teeth extracted. I’ve heard about great experiences and horrible ones. I’m just hoping I don’t blab to the Dr. too much since I’ll be heavily sedated but not out. Oh, and […]
Cookie Day!
This is the second (or third?) year in a row that my cousin, Carrie, and I have got together to bake cookies. We make several different kinds and bundle them up to give away at Christmas. We make some for each aunt and uncle’s family. Its saves us from buying presents for everyone but we […]
In Pursuit of Pudding
All I wanted to do was whip up a batch of homemade chocolate pudding. After my night last night and a busy day at work some warm pudding sounded great. It started so simply… I pulled out the cabinet where I keep my 50# bag of Pioneer (local) sugar. As I opened the bag a […]
Storm!
(Heads up… this is likely to be a long one. I thought of trying to write it as a real story but I’m afraid it may come out like a poor childrens’ story if I try to elaborate so I’m just going to tell it like it is…oh and please forgive any typos or let […]
The Milk Experiments Continue…
Yes, there comes a time when every raw milk connoisseur must try yogurt. I looked through several recipes before stumbling upon my favorite one: Yogurt in your Crock Pot over at Sarah’s Musings. It is amazing, and amazingly easy. Plus, I had the perfect add-in: crushed strawberries from the freezer that I picked this summer […]
How did your relationship change you?
I’m thinking about this some because my DH has gone away hunting and left me to hold down the fort. When we first got together it took awhile for him to realize how badly I wanted to be outside working with him on projects instead of keeping house. I wasn’t really feeling my domestic duties. […]
Quick Update
Still here… kind of taking it easy since having a four day weekend for the holiday. Mentally, though, my gears are turning with thoughts of the new year. I’m caught up in a nice fiction book but am also reading Guerrilla Marketing. So far, so good. Oh, and I’m working on a few more knitting […]
Making Mozzarella
And you thought I’d forget to post about this… 😉 Gathering Supplies: When I wanted to make mozzarella I knew the place to go was cheesemaking.com. I had heard of Ricki Carroll the “Cheese Queen” more than once. She is the go to person for beginning cheesemaking. I am not going to describe the cheesemaking […]
I Like It
I like this post so much that I think you should all go read it right now. It’s safe to click, I promise. It describes what I have trouble saying… yes I care about the environment and yes I want to keep myself healthy but I really could take that way too far if I […]
Time Takers
At the risk of sounding cliche, I’m beginning to think in terms of goal-setting as we approach the new year. I want more focus in my life. Perhaps this is just how life goes but lately I feel like I’m running in 10 different directions! Dave Ramsey says (yes, Dave says Dave says Dave says, […]
