Not a meal plan?

Don't worry, I did make a meal plan for the week and went to the grocery store today. If I don't, things can become dire around here. I have a lot of hungry people in my house who are kind of used to having dinner every day. What I really want to know, my dear readers, is if you care. It is not great reading. (Actually it's hardly reading at all.) I am merely listing things and not giving any recipes (usually). Is having our weekly meal plan written out useful or interesting or has the novelty run its course? I think you can probably tell I am feeling very unexcited by posting it each week. But, if there are enough people who actually read it and make use it of, I'll continue. I just have a sneaking suspicion that this isn't the case. 

So, my comment-phobic readers, now's your chance. If you really want the meal planning posts to continue, let me know, otherwise, I'm sure I can come up with something else to write about.

I rarely skip a post, but if I do it’s usually a meal plan post. Sorry. 😕

I read them! I am not much of a cook, so after I make something that's often pitiful or uninspired, I go back and look at what your family head, then lower my head in shame at what I made. I read your menus several times each week.

I kinda like seeing your creativity, but I understand if you don't want to list them all

I read them, and have looked for some of the recipes online to try. Sometimes you need to pull inspiration from others. Otherwise I'd by cycling the same 14 meals.

I enjoy reading them and it makes me think I can try making more adventurous recipes for my family. Recipes would be lovely.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
