Happy Homemaker Monday

 

Recipe I want to try (without the whipped cream)

Recipe I tried.  It's a keeper - peanut butter whiskey balls.  It has peanut butter in them, but more of the peanut butter whiskey.  Delicious! (recipe from Allrecipes)


Bought myself some fun mini cutters for Christmas pies.  I already had the star, but look at all that fun!  I could even cut cheese slices for a festive cheese/cracker snack too.

Am I the last to know this?  Hummus on a hard boiled egg? Yum!  Breakfast, lunch, side dish or snack. 

The intake is in, but more work needs done before our daughter can drive it.  Our friend is coming back over today to finish up on it.  Hopefully, it'll be ready for daughter to drive after that.

We got wood cut and split Sunday morning.  In the afternoon we met up with my younger brother at my Dad's place.  We made a plan to bring the truck over next weekend and help remove lots of furniture.  Oh my.  My Dad saved everything.  When I say everything, I mean everything.  

I didn't have time to get photos of my current crochet project, but hopefully I'll get a post up soon.




Today I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

All my fancy cooking and baking things went to my chef daughter that I didn't bring with me. for me a simple small knife works though not as easily.

My alcoholic drinking days are long since gone (35 years now). But I do make virgin equivalent of them and alcoholic version for Mel I just lose control with the leaded version. By the time I quit, I was drinking 2-5ths a day.

Cockeyed Jo, not sure about a non-alcoholic version. I wonder if a peanut butter flavored non-alcoholic beer would work?

I love the turkey ornament, such fun. The egg bake looks delicious, what a great breakfast.

Cute ornament! Those recipes sound good. Hope you have a great week.

I like the ornament!
I'm not a fan of mimosas or anything very strong or sugary either, but the punch looks nice.
Chicken mushroom stew ... yum!
Good luck with emptying your father's place. My mom keeps everything too, tried to help her get rid of things but she's always saying it might be useful. Only way to get things out is to say we'd like them, then she gives them away happily.

Have a great week
Thanks Luludou. Dad took things like old brooms and mops and kept the handles for some reason. Just stuff like that. His parents lived through the depression, so he kept so much stuff.
mamasmercantile, the breakfast was delicious.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
