I do that when I make hubby's lemon meringue pie. Or pumpkin pie. I have found a GF crust in the store that he "doesn't hate." But he said it kind of ruined the pie experience for him, so I won't buy it again.
We had some jalapenos this last weekend that you would have sworn were plain ol'...
Well, I only have the one chocolate cake recipe that I've actually made a few times. (But it's really, really good!)
GF baking is... hit or miss for me. The flour ain't cheap, so I figure I have to eat it whether it turns out well or not. If I'm going to make it for other people, I tend to...
I have one go-to GF chocolate cake recipe that is very rich and decadent. I don't make too many desserts, as I have all of hubby's sweet teeth. (IE, I have a sweet tooth; him, not so much, and I end up eating waaay too much of it.)
I like the idea of different things in small pieces, so people...
80, sunny, and very dry here now. Stuff is starting to wilt. I weeded for about 2-3 hours today, and planted a row of swiss chard and a row of bush beans. Warm this coming week, and then a big cool down coming by Memorial Day.
Went to Costco and stocked up on a few things. And found hubby some Coke in glass bottles! That wasn't a cheap add on to the list, but he doesn't drink it every day, so it'll last quite a while.
It's raining right now. It's not supposed to rain all day, but I think I'll take advantage of it right now, to get some inside stuff done. Like a nap...
Good morning!
I used to get sore muscles from the work I did yesterday (move a lot of heavy clay soil), but now it's sore joints.
I want to tell those namby-pamby joints, "Shut up and do as you're told!" in my most authoritarian parent voice.
It's coming out as a wheedling beg: "Aw, honey...
Maybe in Grand Rapids...? That's about 40 miles from here. I doubt he'd be interested in joining. When it comes to photography, he likes to do his own thing.
Yesterday, Hubby's boss at work gave him something that had been his grandmother's. It was a Brownie camera! I'd never seen one before. He's wondering if he can cut down a sheet of 4x5 film to fit, just for the experience of using it.
Also yesterday, his order of darkroom stuff arrived. And a...
Good morning! Here's more coffee, if needed.
I sure needed it this morning. Some cool/chilly and damp/wet days ahead. I'll see what I can get done inside/outside.
I need to make another frittata. There are so many eggs sitting on the counter...
Feeling it today in my hands and back, from digging and hauling sod. I have a lot more to dig/haul, but think I might do something else today.
What I really need is for this coffee to kick my butt into gear!
Or a nap.
I had a nap this morning, and will probably have trouble falling asleep tonight, but oh well.
Since it rained most of the day (until about 3pm, when the sun came out), I got indoor stuff done. Like making peanut butter. Freya always helps with cleaning up the spoon. :)
Feeling it a bit today. I got a lot done, but parts of me want to take tomorrow off. I told me, you can stay inside if it's raining. Otherwise, out you go, and get stuff done!
FIL finally got a decent set of hearing aids. Before that, his wife would yell at him, repeatedly, the same thing. (Why don't you go into the room where he is???)
His church offered a class for the spouses/friends of people who wear hearing aids, so that they could understand what it was like...
