I’m learning to make sourdough English muffins and hoping that “practice makes perfect”. We are enjoying them instead of sandwich bread for our sandwiches at lunch and for our toast at breakfast. I bake them on the griddle on top of the stove and many times finish them off in the oven at 350 degrees for a few minutes. YUM!! They are especially good with butter and some of my homemade jam.
I am feeling quite proud of myself today as I tackled the file cabinets and sorted through them….all 15 plus years of old paper. What a good feeling. I also am plowing through the sewing room and after I get some plastic tubs at the thrift store tomorrow (if I don’t forget), I will have the sewing room under control. What a nice feeling! I boxed up some of Erin’s old things and it will go up in the attic. (She has her own attic above her old room, which is now our bedroom). Yes, I know, she needs to get her stuff out of our house (as do the guys), but I believe in hope springing eternal, and know it will get done some day. Thank goodness we have the place to store their old things. By the time they PLOW through their stuff, they will be taking a journey back to their childhood and will probably have many hours of fond memories.
And the tip of the day is this: If you burn your finger, put some mustard (like from the refrigerator mustard) on it, it works like a charm! No pain, no blister! Gotta love that! Thanks Jody for the tip!
