057-It’s the Little Things

Finding encouragement in the little things of life. Taking a drive in the country, kind comments from our fans and appreciation of a change in weather.

Check out the new items in our online mercantile here.

Our challenge to you this week is to notice the little things that provide encouragement to you and be an encouragement to others.

Until next time…..see ya.

056-In the Kitchen

This podcast recounts a few things we have enjoyed from the kitchen recently; our routine meal after markets and mercantile openings, plus an old favorite Popovers.

Here’s the popover recipe as promised:

Preheat oven to 425º. Lightly grease a six cup popover pan or use a nonstick pan.

Add 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 cup milk to blender. Mix briefly. Add 1 cup flour, mix again for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender, mix again for 15-20 seconds or until all flour is incorporated. Distribute batter evenly in popover pan, filling each about 1/2 full. Bake for 40-45 minutes until puffed and browned. Remove from oven and immediately insert knife blade into side of popover near the top to vent steam. Serve with butter and jam.

We also referred to a previous post titled In Defense of Butter. You can read it here.

055-Garden Planning

There are many ways to plan tasks, including the layout of the garden. After considering what will be planted, when it needs to be planted and the ever changing weather, sometimes it is best to use pencil and paper. This allows for last minute changes. Keep your garden plans from year to year for reference.
