Playing in the Kitchen: Pecan Pie
Fall is officially here! I’m so excited! And it means I should start digging up (and posting) some of my go-to Seasonal Recipes… like a Classic Pecan Pie! So there are at least 8 different ways to pronounce this type of pie… to me it is: [pi:kn] with stress on the second syllable (“pee-KAHN”). Actually…
Save The Tomato Juice… Make Tomato Water?
I’m not crazy. I just can’t stand wasting things. This summer, I’ve been lucky enough to peel and chop up a lot of tomatoes from Dad’s garden. Most have been made into bruschetta, where I seed (remove seeds and goo) before I chop. The whole cutting process leaves a lot of juice on the board……
[National Sewing Month] Diaper & Wipes Pouch
Did you know that September has been “National Sewing Month” since 1982? It started with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan, declaring September as National Sewing Month “In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.” What a great opportunity to share one of my more recent home-sewing creations (beyond my typical quilts)….
Summer Canning with Fruit, Berries, and Beer
So I picked up the canning hobby a little late in the season. A couple times this August I saw berries on a ridiculous good sale at the store, and it made me realize summer was coming to a close and berries were going with it! I bought lots to blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Some…
Playing in the Kitchen: My 1st Beer Jelly
So I’ve recently taken an interest in canning. And when you 1st start out, Jams and Jellies are the way to go. So far I’ve been able to can a Triple Berry Jam and a Peach Jam… so Beer Jelly is the next logical step. Well, at least for me it is! I decided to…
Etsy pulled a Facebook
ETSY pulled a Facebook and made a significant change that wasn’t needed, without warning, and has left many shop owners confused and upset. Having run and ETSY shop for over 3 years, I have seen a lot of “improvements.” Most have been quite helpful. But today I find myself miffed/borderline angry. <center> <a href=”//www.etsy.com/shop/InMyLife?ref=offsite_badges&utm_source=sellers&utm_medium=badges&utm_campaign=en_isell_1″><img width=”200″…
But I Wasn’t Finished Reading That…
This little trick has saved me on several occasions… I know it at least works in Firefox. You’re welcome, Internet. 😀
It’s National Can-It-Forward Day! (Schedule of LIVE webcast)
Happy National Can-It-Forward Day! When I made and canned some Jam this last week, I had no idea National Can-It-Forward Day was right around a corner… honestly I didn’t know there was such a day. But it is the perfect time of year to celebrate caning. Summer is coming to a close, and we want…
Playing in the Kitchen: Sage & Rosemary QUICK Pickles
It’s Left-Handers Day! Who knew? In honor of Left-Handers everywhere, I though it more than appropriate to share my Quick Pickle recipe. Namely because when I photographed them, I didn’t realize me recent left-handedness was glaringly obvious. Can’t you tell? Holding a Pyrex measuring cup with your left hand means reading the metric measurements. Such…
