I’ve been trying to avoid clearing brush in the backyard for the past few weeks, so yesterday I decided to get started on my spring cleaning projects. Cleaning the deck was #1 on the list. It took me nearly 3 hours to scrub the tile, wash the glass railing, and sweep the cobwebs from the Read More >>

I received a special delivery from Japan today. Do you think the Japanese think Americans are stupid? Or is it just a language barrier? Because along with the item I ordered, the company sent me a “present.” Japanese manure. With strict instructions. “This is manure. You can’t eat!! Is there any kind of manure you Read More >>

I spent most of yesterday cleaning out the pantry. The Boy Scouts are gearing up to come around and “Scout for Food” so I thought this would be the perfect time to go through my stockpile.

Last night while I was scrubbing potatoes {regular baked potatoes were on the menu}, I tossed a few extra in the oven. It’s been a while since we’ve had twice baked potatoes, so I decided to whip up a few for the Handsome Husband’s lunches this week. Not only are twice baked potatoes easy to Read More >>

Guess where I went this past weekend? THE FEED STORE {again}. I seriously need to stop going there. If 48 hours pass by and I haven’t been, I start to break out in hives. Seriously, what is my problem? Why can’t I stay away? They have Frizzle Chickens in BTW… they are so cute! My Read More >>

I don’t know if I’m turning into a lazy couponer, tired of processed food, or just plain tired of shopping. But I’m proud to say, with the exception of 1 item last week, I bought real food. All. Real. Food. Maybe Bob Dylan was right… the times are a changing. Or perhaps I’m just tired Read More >>

Yesterday I made a trip to the feed store {again}. But this time I didn’t go to buy baby chicks. I heard through the grapevine a nice selection of spring vegetable starts had just arrived and I wanted to be the first one over there to take a look. Although I have been starting seeds Read More >>
