Breakfast ~ A Finish


Breakfast for the next few days - just whipped stuff together.  Eggs, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, jalapenos, garlic, bacon, kale, and oregano.

The chickens are still supplying good.  I'm still using last years garlic (but they are getting green tops), frozen green peppers, jalapenos, and other veggies we froze.


I finished the rag rug for the shower.  I'm not happy with the edges this time around.  I think it's not exactly square due to the thinner material I used in the very center, but it'll work.  The one I made for the bathtub was much more square on the edges.

Those rugs look nice. Seeing your picture of the breakfast casserole got me to thinking to make one to use up eggs & veggies in the fridge. Karen
Thanks Karen, I love making breakfast bakes because it's easy to re-heat and for my husband to take to work too.

I love braided or crocheted rugs! Yes they will work and be sooo nice underfoot :-)

The breakfast bake looks yummy and a great ay to use surplus eggs. We seem to have an abundance of them at the moment. Love the rugs, I have put some T shirts to one side for a future project. Do you prepare all the fabric first or do it as you go along?
Lady Locust I love to make the rag rugs for the bathroom, as they are thick and soft. Thanks.
mamasmercantile, I used to cut the strips and sew them together and roll in a ball until I needed them. However, you have to unroll the entire ball to attach so now I just rip in strips and toss into a basket until I need a rug. Works much better. I also cut a hole and attach using that method vs. using the sewing machine. Much quicker and then I can add whatever material I have at the time.

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? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. 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. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. 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
