I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different. This week I started working some evenings on the house because we are getting close. The countertops are in the kitchen as well as a working sink and dishwasher. [...]
I decided this week to go with a soup. It's not quite sweater weather yet, but Tony loves soups. Frankly, so do I. I wanted to go with something simple because we are still working on the house. We are in the home stretch and everything we finish just makes the house complete. I am [...]
Life loves to send out curveballs. I have never had a phone just up and die on me. The fun times of living without a phone for a few days. Luckily, I know this is #firstworldproblems. I lived a good chunk of my life without a cell phone, or if I had one, it was [...]
This post will be a bit short this week. I'm pretty busy working on the house and with work. I still want to provide content for you all each week. This recipe is my own creation after looking through some ideas for ice cream. I really haven't made much this year, and I wanted to [...]
There is progress being made at the house. Trim is up and I have the unenviable task of making sure the nails are set, filling holes, sanding the wood putty and caulking. It's a bit of a pain. However, I found a tool that made my life easier. Behold the pneumatic palm nailer. If you [...]
I am a sucker for a new type of fruitcake recipe. This week I am making the Japanese Fruitcake recipe from Southern Living. It's kind of weird that I found this recipe in a magazine for Southern US recipes. I looked around for an explanation, Delishably defined it as: "There's nothing Japanese about this cake, [...]
This week was an adventure. With a refrigerator that is. It took me five minutes to hook up and two hours to get leveled. Yikes. Even one of the doors came off. Thank goodness for the instructions. I was able to get things back on track, whereas Tony was ready to call Home Depot and [...]
The house is moving along. I am excited that I have a couple of new appliances coming this week. Finally, a working refrigerator that has a water dispenser with ice. No more working on hot days with warm water in my water bottle. I know it's first world problems, but the house gets pretty hot [...]
This weeks recipe came out of sheer curiosity. Flipping through recipes, as I always do, I ran across this one for Cheesy Marinara Beans. I never though about taking white beans and treating them in the spirit of lasagna. And why not? They can be used in that way. The only things I see that [...]
It's been years since I've had an ice cream sandwich. It's not the most gourmet of ice cream treats, but does it really have to be? Considering it's been wicked hot and isn't even July yet, I think this is the perfect time for these. I love them and miss eating them. I can make [...]
