    What did you do in your garden today?

    Brodiaea bulbs are native where I grew up in eastern Oregon. They are small but tasty like nuts raw. Western Oregon is listed in there range so I might try them here, too. They are pretty flowers.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I really want to try growing some corn for cornmeal but it's not possible here. Only the early varieties of sweet corn have a chance to even ripen before fall. The last of my seeds arrived a couple days ago. I'm looking at ordering some camas bulbs to plant out in the field. Would be able to...

    What to do with bags full of wool

    Can learn felting as a craft if you don't spin. It apparently makes good mulch. Soaked in borax it becomes fire resistant and is used as insulation. Don't know if that is even worthwhile to try at home. I've heard about washing the wool in the washing machine after skirting. Stuff it in...

    What's for dinner?

    Winco carries them here and occasionally the Fred Meyer. The Costco Business Center has the best, though. I grew up eating soup from them. We didn't exactly have a lot of money. Hubby hadn't even known it was a thing until I made some when we lived in Virginia Beach. He really liked it. He...

    Did pre-op consult today with doctor and anesthesiology. Revision for my finger is on the 10th. She's hoping it just needs some clean up in there so it straightens more

    What's for dinner?

    Oxtail soup yesterday and today. Hubby had been wanting it. I need to dig through the freezer to see if there are more packets of oxtail. Lots of collagen in it. I just pressure cook now. Better than the hours it used to take simmering the bones on the stove

    New bread machine arrived that I ordered yesterday. Hubby wants bread in the next couple days now. Well he wanted it tonight but it only came around 7pm and he goes to bed at 9.

    What's for dinner?

    Oh to add in. Mixed half and half with salsa that dip makes a good southwest salad dressing. The chicken I use on the quesedillas or salad just pairs nice with it

    What's for dinner?

    Half and half base of mayo and sour cream. Chipotle powder, hot paprika, and a small dash of liquid smoke. I haven't actually measured anything out. It's nicely pink in color He'd complained that the smoky flavor of the chipotle was lost a lot the first time I made it so added the liquid smoke...

    What's for dinner?

    Quesedilla again. Had to use the last of the prepared chicken. Hubby is in love with the things right now. Especially with that dipping sauce I made up.
