Friday One Liners


Plantain tea (1 teaspoon dried plantain weed, 1 cup of boiling water - steep) is good for an upset stomach.


Comfort food - Pumpkin-Sage Macaroni and beets.



Restocked my homemade shampoo.


Official date for using the very last, garden grown potato - January 16, 2018.


Ambiance for a cold, dark winter day.


We are starting to see a few beautiful sunrises, although the chicken's water continues to freeze.

Great post with one-liners! The sunrise is gorgeous. I can't see sun rises or sunsets as there are too many trees here and I really miss seeing them. Another reason to get back North!
I have candles going all the time..it is so Hygge! Is your macaroni spaghetti squash? It looks so good!

That is a beautiful sunrise! It looks cold though. Frozen chicken's water sure gets old, doesn't it!

I left a comment earlier but it didn't go through?? I love that beautiful sunrise and the reflection on the snow. Oh, freezing chicken's water sure gets old, doesn't it!
Sam I Am, it's a non-gmo macaroni, called Radiatori, with pumpkin in it. The photo made it yellow, but it's more orange.
Henny Penny, we are due for a warm up for sure.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs?

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil.

I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
