It's been a while since we bought a Ninja Creami. I don't remember which model I have but if you aren't familiar with the Ninja Creami, it's so easy to make really great ice cream in small amounts in no time at all. When I first got it, we were making ice cream every few days and you can imagine how much that helped our diets - NONE! It has been a while since I made ice cream. Monday night, ...
Who Needs a Garden Tiller . .
. . When you have an armadillo? Bad picture from the security camera but there he is! I started seeing holes in the back yard early last week and about mid-week, we had this picture on a camera. There are some spots in the fence where critters come through . . there's a small gap - like 3" - between the side of the house and the fence; where Vince has driven through the drive through gate ...
Souper Cubes
I hope those of you who love to cook already know about the Souper Cubes. The link is to the Souper Cubes website but I think they cost a bit less at Amazon. I fill them, freeze them, then dump them and vacuum seal them so I can keep using the cubes over and over (vs. storing them in the freezer with food in them).

My plans for Thursday - Saturday involved cooking about a dozen freezer meals. The food was prepped and needed to be cooked so there was no time for a kidney stone. I got through Saturday with just a bit of pain but Sunday it was ...
Finish #12 for 2024
Yes, I know that my friend, Denise, just finished her 34th piece! That girl is a stitching machine and her work is always so pretty! I'm just happy to have finished something . . anything! This is Miss Isabelle Black by Scattered Seed Samplers. My cornstalk isn't really leaning, it's just the angle at which I was taking the picture (to try to avoid waking the dogs who were sleeping on my ...
