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

( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) [This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but is here solely to give Blogger a different photo to post in the thumbnail.] 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 ove

An uncomfortable post

I hope it comes as no surprise to my readers that when I vote early next week I will be casting my ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Being in a blue state this feels as though it is a very little thing in the effort to bring our country back past the brink of no return . I'll be honest and say that I am feeling such stress and fear about this election that I can't listen to any news or look at social media for very long. The radio is pretty firmly set on our classical music station even though they are in the middle of a pledge drive. The pledge drive is preferable.  But for those of you who are supporting the other side, if there are any of you left who continue to visit my blog, here is what I need to say. When I drive around and see signs in people's yards supporting that man, I treat it as an early warning system. The people who live in this house are not safe for my family to be around. This is far more than a difference of opinion. That worked for all the preside

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another giveaway day , the day where many bloggers giveaway things they have made or supplies to make things or both.  It is great fun to visit a lot of blogs and try to win cool stuff.  So fun that I thought I would participate this year. I had great hopes of making a set of coordinating mother/daughter aprons.  But reality reared its ugly head and I came to terms with the fact that my time is not limitless.Instead of aprons,  I must continue to spend quality time with yards and yards of red plaid flannel.  What am I making?  Well, as I tell my children, it is the season not to ask questions... I will be able to let you know sometime after the 25th. Instead of making something, I went to my favorite thrift store and found some supplies in the form of sheets and pillowcases (some of my favorite raw material).  I'm giving away three pillowcases and one twin flat sheet. I decided to go with bright, springy colors, because if you are anything like
