Good evening my dears!
Hope you are all having a great weekend.
Sunday to Sunday has rolled by and here we are in March.
I believe it us only 18 days until Spring!
Imagine!
So thankful for the lovely Winter we have had. A few drastic storms but not bad really.
I know it is not over yet!
We are having a gorgeous sunny day here but snow is to come through the
night and tomorrow.
The days have been passing and then I started getting notes and noticed that I have been missing too long! Grin..
So dear girls...here I am!
So on with my little ramble of what we have been doing.
Still using my tablet as you can see...
Please excuse mistakes.
And so...
Made this delicious loaf of bread last week one day.
I had not made it before. Found the recipe in an old cookbook that I found at the Thrift store. I have included the recipe.
Another no knead bread although I did knead it a bit just in the bowl.
Terry loved it!
We are trying to make good use of our preserves and freezer food.
I had a large bag of cherry tomatoes that I had stuck in the freezer up here . Decided to just make a tomato sauce one day for lunch.
Lots of basil, onions and garlic!
Oh my but it was delicious!
A bit if shaved parm and that was all that was required. Smile..
On another morning I made a new batch of laundry soap. Terry actually grated up the bar of Zote soap.
The dear man!
I did a big batch so it would just be done!
Have been making this for years.
I use other laundry soap as well .
Love Gain for my bedding and night clothes.
Then I use Tide for Terry's work clothes and dog bedding.
Lots of times I will just add this to a cheaper brand that we pick up on sale. I am not a laundry soap purist as you can see but every little bit helps towards being frugal and such.
I have a wee idea here for you.
I saved a couple of large coffee cans for my laundry soap. Then found a wallpaper border and fitted a piece to fit it and voila an attractive jar to hold the soap on the laundry room shelf!
Also...
If you live near me then Moffatts in Sussex have lovely extra large clothespins for just over a couple of bucks!
We will only turn around twice and the clothesline will be full again.
My favourite part of Spring housework..
Then of course we had our town day!
Wow, it was windy!
We always stop by our fave coffee takeout. Tim Hortons!
The wind was fierce and coming home there were vehicles off the road again.
Even a few whiteouts! I was so happy to get home where it was nice and snug!
On Friday I cut up a batch of this marmalade.
It is a different recipe then I blogged about before.
A Newfie recipe!
It makes a large batch!
It tastes good and a nice change from the Clementine one I usually make.
My plants are doing well.
We took a quick trip to Fredericton last week too.
Kind of a spur of the moment trip, if you know what I mean.
Just mentioned it and decided to go.
It was a lovely day.
We stopped by a flower nursery and purchased a Jasmine plant that I have been longing for.
They had a fern on sale and a Baby Tears.
Then on a visit to my Mom's house she gave me several. She is finding them a bit of work as she is having a hard time to get around now.
Bless her heart!
She made a batch of bread and a blueberry pie yesterday though. Smile.
Well, girls this is about it for today.
I did make a few lavender items I will show you next time.
Candles and sleeping pillows.
Love the scent of lavender. Do you?
This was today's supper
Terry always enjoys a stir fry!
Flavoured with five spice and fish sauce and a bit of soya.
Over rice.
What did you have?
Thank you so much for your dear notes and your little reminders! Grin.
Appreciate you sweet ladies.
Praying God's peace in your lives this week..
Remember..
He gives the only real peace!
Hugs!
