Please tell me I am not the last person to find out about these lids that are supposed to fit the Oui yogurt bottles. Most of the time I make our yogurt but there are plenty of times I buy yogurt. There are several brands I like but most often, when buying, I will buy the Oui because it's just enough for me to eat without having leftovers. I also love Noosa yogurt but (1) it's not easy to find ...
Recalls
This post is not political so please don't post political comments. Have you ever seen so many recalls on food? Maybe it's on everything but I've mostly paid attention to food recalls. This morning I saw one for cookies and it's because there's milk in the cookies and it was left off the ingredient list. I can understand the why - if you're allergic to milk and read the label and see no milk, ...
Do Not Swat Bugs on the TV
Yesterday I was upstairs canning and Vince and the dogs were downstairs watching football. I sounded what heard like a bit more "serious" rant going on downstairs. I wasn't sure if one of Vince's teams was not playing well or if it was one of the dogs so I stopped what I was doing, and went downstairs to see if I needed to intervene. Nope . . there had been a bug on the TV screen. Vince grabbed ...
Salt Rising Bread

Maybe because Salt Rising Bread makes the best croutons and I love soup in the Fall. I don't know the reason but you can bet that at some point in October, there's going ...
The Neighbor’s Hot Sauce
You may remember that when we moved here, we had a neighbor behind us that I really liked. The man was super friendly and always noticing what we were doing and would come over if he thought Vince could use a bit of help. When Vince first met him, the first thing the guy said is "I thought younger people would buy this house." We never let him forget that he said that. He also had two little boys ...
Growing Turmeric
According to the "rule book", turmeric can be grown outside in zones 8 - 11. According to the USDA planting zone, I'm in Zone 7a but because of the valley we're in, I plant according to zone 6a. What I've done in the past when living in zones 6 or 7 was to plant the turmeric inside in pots in about February, bring it out on sunny warm days and back in on cold nights (or days). Last year, I ...
