Quick & Dirty/Garden Report: Chive blossom!


Isn't she so precious?? My first chive blossom. Well, bud. I'd read that they make pretty purple flowers, but never seen one. Looking forward to what becomes of it.

Food Storage: Dry goods and Freezer goods, all in one day!

Image
I previously discussed, without pictures, the food storage situation at our house. I didn't have pictures then for a lot of reasons, one of which being that I've never been much of a shutter bug, as evidenced by the fact that I forget a lot of the "Before" pictures for some of these projects. Also, it's one thing to show the before pictures of a shed in disarray, most people with a shed are probably in the same boat. But I don't want to shame people publicly for being behind on major household projects, especially when there's no real "fault" to be thrown around. This is why we're here. But!

But that's OK! The Kitchen/Dining room - 60% done -   Dining room   Kitchen with gross-orange-wood cabinets.  Aren't these liners just to DIE for?   At least the cabinets don't waste any space. All the headsp...

Spaghetti bread

Image
The Tornado (8yo) asked for spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. So I made herb bread and put garlic butter on it! I’ve never been a good baker but after identifying the kiddo’s milk allergy at 3.5, I knew they would need a mama who bakes dairy free stuff. So I decided to tackle the negative talent and learn how to do that. I think I’ve done pretty well.
