    The pond looks like spring is about to bloom too.

    Nothing new this week.

    HOMEMAKING TIP / PRODUCT REVIEWS
    When using plastic ware for anything tomato or pizza sauce, a quick spray with non stick cooking spray will prevent the tomato sauce from staining your plastic.

    Tired of sticking your finger reaching for your cake tester?  Add some wine, OOPS I mean add a wine cork to the end for storage and make it safer.

    ON MY MIND LATELY & PRAYERS & INSPIRATION
