I love these little metal stands, they change up a display.
And since I'm feeling springy, think I'll start this wool runner--I've had the kit a couple of years and the wools are beautiful!
I finally did something with my Meyer lemons. I zested and juiced most of them. I made two batches of yummy lemon curd and froze the rest of the juice/zest. Hopefully I'll use it faster than the blueberries that are taking up so much space in the freezer!
Because I am now so taken with the juicer I drug out of retirement, I added an extra box of citrus to my last Bountiful Basket. It included Seville oranges so I made marmalade. Didn't turn out so well--I over cooked it so it is really to thick to use. I'm not too sure I like it anyway. Seville oranges are sour and kind of bitter, so although it is authentic marmalade, and I know where I went wrong the first time, I don't think I'm going to use the rest of the oranges to try again. I like the concept of jam, and like to buy it at farm stands, it just takes us a long time to get through a jar. Time to move on!
A few weeks ago for my birthday Sweetie surprised me with a get away to this charming little cabin
on this cute little lake
near Lafayette, LA. The bed was in the loft, there was a wood burning stove in front of the sofa, and a nice breakfast.
Lafayette has an up and coming food scene and we had a great dinner at Cochon Lafayette. We'll be going back!
Guess I'd best get busy--the day's almost gone! Thanks for stopping by.
