It's time to plant the Lettuce!

I have been out digging in the dirt today.  The ground is dry enough to plant the lettuce, spinach and the peas.  Yes...Its here. Garden time! I will post some info in the attic about spring planting- check it out.

I'm up in the attic

I am up in the attic remembering when I was in the book business. . . here is a few ideas to encourage reading.

Butter Up, Buttercup!

Have you ever been stumped when dinner time rolls around? Blankly staring at your grilled chicken or steamed veggies and wondering, "Will my family eat this bland fare for the third night this week?" Jazzing up your boring dinners has never been easier with a little help from... butter! Compound butters, or butters with herbs and flavors mixed in, are a cinch to whip up and can take anything from frozen vegetables to morning bagels and make them fabulous. And in true bargain fashion, butter is on sale this week! Check out Bryttin's Bargains for the deal info and a few delicious recipes for compound butters and all of their applications.
