House Mouse
Let's all agree on something. Yesterday's post was not one of my finest. And you may be asking yourself why I've been doing so many food posts lately. You see there are rules for this blog. Among them, I won't talk negatively about things. Or people. Or anything that will likely be a downer for an employer who might be searching social media for ( Read more... ) -
Say Hello to My Little Friend - Green Tomato Marmalade

I actually got several lovely presents: Some monkey bread mixes from my sister. A set of UNO cards and a belt from Child. A new winter coat from DH, who deemed mine, vintage 80s, embarrassing. And a kitchen scale.

You can make fried green tomatoes, do the same triple breading that ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes it skips a generation
Mommy, what's that?
It's rye bread honey. It's very tasty. Makes excellent toast.
What are these things in it?
They are caraway seeds.
I call them splinters. Can you take them out?
There are too many. If you don't like them, pick them out yourself or don't eat the bread.*

Happy Pie

Pie = Happy
I love pie. Which is a good thing considering most people love pie too. It makes me real popular around holiday time. The only kind of pie I'm not really a huge fan of is coconut cream. Even the nut pies can be good if you ( Read more... )
