I decided to do a series on making pie crust. Here’s part one.

***

And the other weekend when I made waffles, I hooked the camera to the hanging lamp to film it.

This will be the last post of the “weekend watch” series — at least for now. I figure that by now y’all know where to look if you want to see the videos, and you probably have gotten a good enough feel for my video posting schedule and content, and you can always click the YouTube tab on my blog header to see the running tally of videos.

But if you haven’t subscribed, feel free! 1K subscribers and then I can monetize, woot! (And don’t worry: subscribers shouldn’t get any irritating alerts unless you choose to turn on the notifications — new videos will just show up when you open your subscriptions tab in YouTube.) Coming soon: videos about calving (!), grocery budgeting and shopping, cheesemaking, parts II and III in the pie series, what we eat in a week, etc.

Thanks for watching, friends, and have a good weekend! xo

Quotidian: daily, usual or customary;
everyday; ordinary; commonplace

For winter teas (and maybe a cake).

Early harvest.

This, but with rhubarb and grape purée.

If you like a wallop of spice with your crunch, try Vicki’s Jalapeño Chips from Costco.

We might not be able to live on bread (and cheese) alone but we sure can try!

For smoothies, frozen spinach is better than fresh. I had no idea!

Stale bakery sourdough makes for the best grilled cheeses.

He started his summer job at the garden. (I love my washing machine.)

The little mushroom-growing project may be getting out of hand….

Chicken Lady.

I love it that the kids are old enough to own the family pets and pay for all the food and vet bills.

This beaut just randomly popped up in the yard.

Nap interrupted.

Sunday hike.

This same time, years previous: inclusion, surprise!, the quotidian (5.16.16), Captain Morgan’s rhubarb sours, help, a burger, a play, and some bagels, ’twas an honor.

Meet the ladies!

Emma’s in the homestretch now. Her bag is bulging, and we’re checking on her at least three times a day. Soon!

Here’s how I tackle it.

Have a good weekend, friends! My husband just signed us up for a free trial of Paramount so we can watch The Lost City for family night movie this weekend, and tomorrow we’re going on a hike with friends. Oh, and I made that berry cobbler I filmed for YouTubed, only this time I used rhubarb and grape puree (mixed with a little brown sugar and some cornstarch) instead of blackberries and it’s so yum. xo!
