Hein? Un ananas? means Huh? A pineapple? in French. You probably don't find that very funny. But if you were in my senior year French AP class you would find it hilarious. We even made t-shirts (puff paint!) with pineapples on them and that phrase. It's funny because when you say it in French it… Continue reading Hein? Un Ananas?

Recycled Wrapping Paper
Today I went to a baby shower for a good friend. All the guests were asked to bring a children's book to help start the baby's library. I thought that was a great idea. After church this morning I stopped by Borders and picked up a book called Bee & Me. 🙂 I wanted to get… Continue reading Recycled Wrapping Paper

Peach Jam Preview
I made peach jam last night! I ended up not having time on Tuesday night because the ILs came over for dinner. So last night as soon as I got home I went straight into jam-mode. I was worried that if I put it off any longer the peaches would start to go bad. I… Continue reading Peach Jam Preview

What is it Wednesday: Soba Noodles
Last week I wrote about homemade lettuce wraps. In that recipe I used soba noodles instead of the dried bean thread noodles, which I couldn't find. As I was cooking and assembling the wraps I thought, what are soba noodles anyway? Because to be honest, they look just like whole wheat spaghetti to me: From Wikipedia… Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Soba Noodles

I went by on Sunday to get some but he was already out for the day. … Continue reading Millions of Peaches

Organic? Or Just the Way it Should Be?
Tonight I picked my first real tomato harvest. The tomato plants have been a little slow to produce this year. I'm not sure if it's because I transplanted them a little late this spring or if they are having a hard time with the heat. Luckily we had a pop up thunderstorm blow through yesterday… Continue reading Organic? Or Just the Way it Should Be?

Dog Days (Nights) of Summer
Wow is it hot. Look what my car thermometer said on the way home: That does not count the heat index either! Because of the heat our dogs have been on a reverse schedule. They stay outside all night and inside all day. Gotta watch out for your pets when the heat is on like… Continue reading Dog Days (Nights) of Summer

Noodle-y Lettuce Wraps
So if you read my meal plan for this week you know that I made lettuce wraps for dinner on Sunday night. I actually found the recipe through the Whole Foods "app" on Benzo's new iPhone. Neither one of us has had smartphones before so we've been checking out all the new apps. The Whole… Continue reading Noodle-y Lettuce Wraps
