Pinching Pennies

It's that time again, where we have to "pinch" pennies to keep the bills paid.  It happens when the income is reduced.  This means meals without going to the store. 

For a different lunch, I took leftover turkey, added home canned zucchini relish (a bit of spice to it), and some lite safflower mayo.  I grilled it between 2 slices of bread, in olive oil. Yum!  The relish adds just enough flavor too.

14 Hand Crocheted Scarves




Most are made from leftover yarn from other projects.  These are being shipped to New Jersey, for folks in need.












I had a moment the other day.  I was complaining about cleaning my bathroom, and here there are folks on the East coast that don't even have a house at all.  Shame on me.

These scarves will help a few more folks this winter.
