It was a quiet, yet slowly productive weekend around here. We canned black beans, baked some of the peanut butteriest peanut butter cookies I’ve ever made for a peanut butter lover, and generally puttered around. I also had the chance to watch and read over at Cooking Up a Story. I happened across the show on [...]
Some recent favorites, in no particular order I wanted to share: I’m thinking I need to make some fabric pom-poms to adourn a window or two for some winter color. I’m Kathie and I have Barnheart. Apparently I also have Farm Fever. I have about 2 months until it time to tap my maples, but [...]

I mark these pages with strips of sticky notes. I got this giant cube of sticky notes at a conference several years back and I cut [...]

Honestly, I find that canning, dehydrating, freezing, and other methods of preserving summer’s bounty are constantly on my mind and if I go too long without practicing some kind of food preservation fix I get a little cranky. In reading some of my favorite blogs, [...]
Our shelling peas are coming in fast and furious right now. Though, I didn’t plant nearly enough. Next year, there will be much, much more. I read on a forum I belong too recently that folks felt that shelling peas were too much work for the end result. I don’t know about that personally, I [...]
