Rubber Bands

Just a heads up. I have removed my Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins Recipe because I've been having problems with them coming out right ever since I posted it on here.  So, I'm re-working the recipe.  I think I found my mistake and I want to try it a few more times before I re-post it.  In the meantime I have a small tip.  Rubber Bands!  Most of you most likely do this or even something like it.

Have you ever had plastic wrap that just doesn't stick to anything. Today I had to cover the pizza dough made from Bob's Red Mill Mix to let it rise.  Luckily I had a rubber band that would fit around my mixing bowl.  I'm not sure if this will work on my glass bowls due to the shape of the bowls, but you can bet I will be trying it next time.  I save the rubber bands from the broccoli that I buy in the grocery store and those things come in handy let me tell you!  I keep one on my Coconut Oil as you can see and I keep one on my Relish that's in the Refrigerator.  Lets face it, as we get older our hands don't work the way they use to and I can't sit around waiting for Garrett to come home and open a jar for me.

Speaking of Garrett I'm sitting in my thinking spot watching the clock for when the boys get home.  This has been the first week of school and it's been going wonderful! I'll tell you more over on Kevin's page.

Weeds, Weeds, Weeds

After getting back from a short vacation trip to my sisters I spent this week pulling weeds out of the yard and the garden.  With all of this rain we've had the weeds have been hard to keep up with, but for the most part the garden is now weed free.  I also cleared out all the stuff that wasn't producing anything and added some fertilizer to help amend the soil.  Now it's raining again, which was part of my plan on the fertilizer being put in the other day.  This way it will give it a few days to soak into the soil real good before I add new seeds.

Hopefully this Sunday I'll have some cabbage, broccoli, beets and maybe brussel sprout seeds in the garden for this fall.  I have a list of some other seeds I want to get in, but off the top of my head that's all I can think of.  I do want to come up with a better idea on starting seeds indoors before next spring.  Best location is either the dining room or the office. I might be able to come up with a plan on the back porch. Might make for an interesting winter. LOL

As for baking, with school out I took a break from that myself.  But with school starting soon I'm back into baking again. Yesterday I made my Peanut Butter Banana Muffins, which my mother couldn't resist when she came over this morning.  That's always a good indication to me that I made something good.  She'll tell me if it's not quite right and help me to try to figure out what's missing.  I wouldn't want it any other way.
