Odds and Ends


I've been meaning to post for so long that I have a lots of odds and ends to share!

Kids being occupied. Does your dinner table ever look like this? Ugghh.

Rewards of a busy, blessed day. First batch of dried apples in my new dehydrator, and first time making lemon curd (mmmmm, mmmm). We also made Italian Wedding Soup for dinner and an angelfood cake from scratch with whipped cream and strawberries. Gotta love those days where you feel like you actually accomplished being a housewife. I love this role and thank God for giving it to me.

P.S. Don't you just love my old-fashioned sparkly countertop?! I have actually grown fond of it except for the fact that it stains easily.

  2. Oops, I should have clarified that better. No, just the last picture with it's caption was all in one day. Everything else is spread out over the last two weeks.

  3. Do you use anything to dry your fruit (like sulfer)?

  4. Jenny, This was my first batch in the dehydrator. I only squeezed some lemon juice over the apples first and they turned out beautiful. When I do another batch, I'll be sure to post results here.
