I woke up this morning, and even though I should have devoted the entire day to dusting and vacuuming, all I could think about was gingerbread. I really wanted to make a gingerbread house but, around 4 o’clock and after a glass of wine, I decided a few gingerbread boys was the more realistic goal for the day and they were tasty if I do say so myself.

Fall Back
How come weekends are never long enough? Not even when you get an “extra” hour? I guess because getting an “extra” hour just means that everyone is thrown off of their game for an entire day more than anything else. I suppose I shouldn’t complain. Both of my kids slept until almost 8 yesterday’s time or almost 7 today and were both asleep by 7 tonight or 8 by yesterday’s time. So it really wasn’t so bad. Even though they were tired and my head is spinning a little. You know? Like, hey why ARE these kids so tired, it’s only 6:30? Oh, right. It’s kind of really 7:30. How’d the switch go at your house?

Many Loaves
After being out of bread for many, many days I decided to do something about it. I experimented with a recipe for pain de mie a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty good. Then I came across this recipe somewhere in the blogosphere and decided to try it. Read the rest of this entry »

Apple Picking
We picked three bags of staymans and a bag of fujis for eating. And a big bag full of broccoli because it was fun. So yesterday was goulash today was gumbo and tomorrow broccoli cheddar. In other words, the soup pot runneth over and I’m ok with that. Even soup hating Ben had a second bowl of gumbo. I’ve never made gumbo before. The smell of flour “toasting” sure is interesting. Anyway, happy weekend. Looking forward to the next one. Click on for the pictures. Read the rest of this entry »

End Of Summer Chowder
Lately, all I can think about is soup. Soup and fresh bread to sop it up with. I took back all of the books on preserving I borrowed from the library and took out a bunch of books about soups and bread. I made Mollie Katzen’s corn chowder for dinner on Friday with BLT’s and the whole pot of soup was gone by lunch this afternoon. I ate a bowl for dinner, a bowl for dessert and one more as a midnight snack. I finished off the last one for lunch today. When soup is good, it’s good. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s In Your Lunchbox?
So this marks the last day of our first week of school. With the holiday and one day of orientation I only had to come up with two lunches to send in the stegosaurus lunch box. The stegosaurus lunchbox that Chase accessorized with a football ice pack. That girl has style. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomato Canning 101
I’ve been asked about canning tomatoes so I thought I’d write up a closer look at how I did it. In a lot of ways I think jams are easier but tomatoes are in season so I’ll start here and move back to jams and jellies in a week or two. Just in time for my case of concords!
