After running into the basket in the kitchen too many times, my extent of "fall" decor was placing those hard-as-a-rock pie pumpkins on the porch ledge.
The dead bolt on one of the doors broke. I had to gently lay that news on Hubby. It was stuck locked, and the latch to turn it broke. Good thing I have another door to use.
Avoiding the garden for the most part of the day, I baked some flourless brownies...
Whipped up some more whiskey butterscotch sauce....
Made a jar of homemade pumpkin pie spice.
Homemade pumpkin pie spice
3 Tbsp. organic ground cinnamon
2 tsp. organic ground ginger
2 tsp. organic ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. organic ground all-spice
1 1/2 tsp. organic ground cloves
Mix and store in an airtight container. I used a recycled baby food jar that was given to me.
I lied about the tomatoes. I went out to pull stakes and plants and ended up picking another 6#.
I made more homemade "lysol" wipes. I have a big cleaning day in my bedroom and just about anywhere else after that.
I planted parsley and basil seeds in my kitchen window pots.
Emptied the dehydrator of lemon balm and filled it up with parsley. I love the smell of fresh parsley. The stems went into the freezer for future broth/stock recipes. Tip: Tie the stems together and simply toss them into the pot or roaster pan you making your broth/stock in.
I whipped up some organic buttermilk corn bread. I make my own buttermilk by measuring 1 cup of organic milk and adding 1 Tbsp. of organic lemon juice.
Today's plan? It all depends on the weather. We woke up to a chilly 42°F.
