A couple of days ago as I was putting away jars of home canned food, there was a case of pints of pulled pork. We had smoked a couple of pork butts, I shredded the meat with forks, added a bit of a vinegary sauce and canned quite a few pints. It has been so good to serve with sandwiches or on baked potatoes. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I baked myself a potato and had a pulled pork baked ...
Addie Cooking Breakfast
She loves making (and eating) ebelskivers. Yesterday morning she wanted to make them all by herself so I helped her a little but she did most of it. Earlier this year I found blueberry sour cream pancake mix on sale at King Arthur and I bought several boxes and kept it in the freezer. I can make half of the recipe and we'll use half one day, put the rest in the fridge and fix it the next ...
Saturday’s Unpacking
I feel like I got a lot done today. So much had been piled on the dining room table but that's all cleaned off now. Addie wanted to play Clue this morning. I told her to let me get all the boxes in the dining room unpacked and we'd play two games, then I'd get the boxes in the living room unpacked, clean off the dining room table and we would play two more games. There were maybe 10 boxes left ...
Fall Saturday Morning
I have a visitor for the weekend. It isn't even winter yet and she thinks my house is too cold. She actually slept in her jacket and was wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket. I asked her if she got hot during the night and she said no. This bread is made with 25% kamut. We're having soup and sandwiches for lunch . . can't wait to cut into this bread. The windows are open. The wind is ...
Breakfast Room Table
Nicole helped me get the breakfast room table set upright. I love this little table. I haven't found a rug yet to go under it so I stuck two rugs that I had left from the apartment under it. The chairs have cushions on them so they won't scratch the floor but the table doesn't. I want to get a rug that's big enough that Rita will step on it first and know she's too close to furniture. She's ...
Furniture Re-Arranging Again
You may remember that originally my chair where I sit to knit was on one side of the room but then Vince wanted to bring the entertainment center and a storage thing we already had. We discussed it and I didn't want to do it but I lost that battle. I ended up having to move my chair to the other side of the room and I was really unhappy with it. There's one wall in the living room that we can ...
