Teaching you to Entertain Exceptionally
A fun way to explore food!
Don and I were out shopping and found some smaller sized dishes and bowls. My head starting spinning thinking about recipes to put into these dishes to make it a Taster Party!
This is better than just the “out of the freezer” entertaining. Use some of them but make some from scratch. Especially the little hamburgers. You can do so much with them. Later
Bounce is more than for the dryer….did you know you can wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
If you are a golfer, next Spring make sure you put a bounce sheet in your back pocket to keep the bees away. (Always carry them in the golf bag and you will be ready for the attack).
If you wish to eliminate static cling on either your television or computer screens, dust with a Bounce sheet.
Now, aren’t you glad you have this info at the ready? Me, too!
Well, clocks turned back and guess what? We both were up at 5:30 am.
That really made it 4:30 a.m. I guess we should not have gone to bed last night at 9: p.m.
Started shopping for the ingredients I will need for the marathon baking we do on November 11 each year.
It took about an hour (list in hand, of course) and away we went. Right now my kitchen looks like a cyclone hit it.
Don’t look – wait until Friday when it is back to normal. You should begin gathering all the ingredients you will need for your baking.
The book signing held in October for my cookbook was an over whelming success. I couldn’t have dreamed that if I tried.
It was awsome and I wish you all could have been there. The wines, cheeses, crackers, cookies, sweets and treats were in abundance. Wow! Thanks Mrs. Stobbs.
We just drove back from the southern Okanagan and believe me, the Oliver Chamber of Commerce is missing the boat.
They should be promoting tours. The colours: reds, oranges, yellows, purples, greens, deep golds….it reminds me so much of Provence, France.
Everyone should make the trip to Oliver, Osoyoos and Keremeos in the late Fall.
Spectacular!
It is always nice to have a reference for substituting an item if we do not have on hand the suggested pan in a recipe. If you do not have the size of pan a recipe calls for, perhaps this would be of some help:
Bundt pan (10″ approx.) is the same as using 2 – 8″ round pans.
12 cup muffin tin can be used instead with a 8 l/2″ loaf pan OR
9″ round pan OR 8″ x 8″ square pan.
10″ round pan and 9″ x 9″ square pan are the same.
9″ round pan is the same as 2-8″ round pans OR 10″ x 15″ jelly roll pan OR 8″ x 8″ square pan.
The last two days I have received (lucky me) 84 garbled spam. Whoo Hoo! Now I am not so happy.
For weeks if I got one it was something. Someone has nothing but time on their hands.
They must be looking for a new signature drink.
Some more are coming. Later
Here’s hoping people are saner this year and do not doctor the candy, apples, etc. that children will be receiving. That is senseless, useless, and harmful.
Remember when we were kids? I know my dentist did. tee hee.
Have fun tonight and keep safe. Later. Please don’t let your children just dive in and start eating their treasure. Look it all over, double check everything then mete it out.
It is a beautiful day here. Very autumn like and sunny. We are being treated out for lunch today whoopee!
After Sunday the thoughts will naturally run to Christmas…but wait – this can either be stressful or relaxed and enjoyable. Which would you prefer? Hang on, I may have the ultimate cure this this. Later.
I just finished baking a lemon thyme loaf for my cousin and the smell throughout the house makes me think she may not get it. Love this loaf. Probably the best ever, sure beats something like banana bread ‘cuz I’m not fond of bananas, that’s why.
The recipe is in my breakfast cookbook. Later
The brain that is. We were looking for a box of pics that we had taken for my cookbook that are being planned now. Couldn’t find them!
Looked all over for them yesterday. This morning I go into the kitchen and the box was on the opposite counter waiting to give to Bill (computer guru and friend).
As I said, sometimes my brain works and sometimes it doesn’t. Later.
