Christmas Handmade - Another Poncho

With leftover yarn from a blanket and leftover yarn from a scarf I made last year, I made my 8 year old this poncho.  It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but she's tall, so she can wear it for a few years.

Mixing Up Homemade Mayonnaise

Dinner tonight involved preparing a batch of homemade mayonnaise.  It was easy to make with our farm fresh eggs, oil and a bit of lemon.
We are making "Potunas" which is a recipe I found on-line.  This is an easy recipe if you have potatoes in you cellar from you summer garden, and you have chopped and frozen green onions from your herb garden.  We can't wait to taste the final "Potunas."
(I am baking my potatoes with olive oil and sea salt)

Don't forget you can freeze your leftover egg whites!  Mine went right into the freezer for omelets in the future.  Waste nothing.
