    Starting seeds…

    March 17, 2010 - By 

    So far we’ve planted:

    I plan on starting some more seeds but ran out of little recycled containers and my helper ran out of patience. 🙂

    All of these seeds are ones I’ve collected from last years plants. It should be interesting to see what actually germinates.

    Bread not bricks!!

    March 10, 2010 - By 

    I did it!

    I made bread. Not my usual bricks!!

    After nearly 16 years, I decided to get out my Kitchen Aid mixer recipe book for guidance. Before someone asks…  Yes, I use my mixer all the time but never reference the manual.

    I still had to improvise a bit since the recipe called for powdered milk and I only had DariFree.  Not sure if the proportions would be the same or not but it seemed to work.

    We’ll have to see what the rest of the family thinks of it later…

    Harvest time

    August 18, 2009 - By 

    Once again, I ate the first of them before even thinking of taking a photo.

    I love my little container garden. It’s so awesome to just step outside to collect fresh herbs for my recipes.

    Next year I hope to have a small garden next to our shed. Then I can try growing new veggies.
