Random Tidbits

It's been nice to be back in the kitchen baking breads.  First on the agenda - biscuits.  I'm playing around with different size cutters, to obtain just the right size for a breakfast sandwich.  Oh we slobbered over our recent sandwich with farm fresh eggs, cheese, and organic bacon.  Yum.

I use my 2 inch cutter when the biscuits are for sausage gravy or hamburger gravy.

Hubby came home one day this week, went straight to the fridge, and asked, "hey where is that pickled garlic?"

He popped one right into his mouth and said, "every one at work is sick."

I've eaten the garlic from the jar too.  No stomach issues, but your mouth will be warm for hours, ha ha!

Pop Test #1.  All but 3 kernels popped.  It'll dry a bit longer on the cobs, but oh boy did it taste good.  I would like to double what we plant this gardening season.

If you want a good night's sleep, get a diffuser.  You place a specific amount of water with a combination of essential oils in it.  Oh my.  When I turn ours on (which I got free), I can barely get out of bed.  So if you want to sleep in, this is the way to do it.   Or to keep from waking up all night.  Golly, our best combination is Thieves, Rosemary and Eucalyptus oil. Note:  if you have cats, do not do this. An herbalist told me this, and when I did difuse on the woodstove top (prior to this knowledge), the hair on one of our cats fell out.  It can make them sick or die.

Hubby has been lucky to get a few nights of overtime, which we need, but we are still down to 2 vehicles.  We have the part for daughter's car (which she bought herself, as she is learning responsibliity for her independence), but we need a warm day to install it.  I may be repeating myself here, so if I am just ignore.

Hubby got more overtime last night and this morning.  Firewood hauling is my job.  Thank goodness for the sled.  It's cold here again.  Brr!
