Something New!

.

I was reading Tessa's blog entry that mentioned something called a paper pot maker. Intrigued, I did a little rooting around on the internet. I found that this could be a wonderful asset for inexpensive biodegradable pots that I could make in the evenings while relaxing and watching the news or something.

I was just about to order one, having found the best price, when I happened to run across one more page that mentioned a 'next generation' pot maker for even cheaper.

Doing a little research on that, at www.PotterFactory.com, I found a video demonstrating how they are used.

I think they are terrific! I would recommend that people buy one and try one.

But, if you are like me.... your mind goes one step further and asks, "How can I make one myself and save 20 bucks?

Another thing to add to my list. Buy the PVC parts, or even better, scrounge some up for free, and make them myself. I will check out the way they could fit together the next time I stop at the HIC.

Ever wish you could get produce at the price of old produce, but know you could never eat it all before it spoiled?

Bring home the old produce from the store and dry it. Dried fruits are really tasty, and dried veggies can go into soups later on.

I got this dehydrator some years ago. It's a really nice one and if you can afford it, it's worth it. But a smaller, cheap one will work, as well as the oven. In the summer, you can do what people used to do, lay your produce in the sun, covered from bugs, and save some electricity.



We were having company come over for a gingerbread house building day, so I made up some dough ahead of time, and also baked up little squares for cobble stones and such.






Sugar and spice makes everything nice,
