Doomed to Be a Life Long Scullery Maid

March 5, 2010

Of all the household chores that are now part of my weekly, daily, and almost hourly responsibilities, cleaning the dishes probably ranks at the top of my “I’d-rather-not” list…does and always has…probably always will. If you’ll keep that thought in mind, you will understand that the absolute worst of my nightmares—the kind to wake me [...]

It is Better to Give . . . .

March 5, 2010

It seems only right that a blog entitled “Apple Crisp” should have at least one recipe for apple crisp. There are a whole lot of them out there–in 0.15 seconds, Google gave me 162,000 results for apple crisp recipes. That’s a lot of apples! With such a resource for inspiration, it shouldn’t be hard to find some way to [...]

Yummy gifts for the tummy

March 5, 2010

I think it’s always nice to give a gift of homemade yummies.  When someone is feeling down or they can’t get out for one reason or another, it’s always nice to have someone stop by with a little gift to perk up their sweet tooth.   Apple crisp, apple pie, anything dessertish is always a good [...]

Cooking with USB Flash Drives

Opening up my laptop, I pop in my handy recipe flash drive (if you didn’t read that post already, better backtrack and digest that one first!) and choose the topic of my liking: Apple Crisp recipes (of course!).  There’s even a video short preloaded on this USB drive, so I click play and watch good ol’ [...]

Pottery Studio complete (well, almost)

March 5, 2010

The studio has finally taken shape and become (go figure) a studio. No longer does it feel like a storage room. The only remaining storage is the bikes hung from the ceiling in a back corner and one lone shelving unit with a few odds and ends that look rather un-pot-like. It’s a wonderful feeling, [...]

It Takes One to Know One

March 5, 2010

That phrase–”It takes one to know one”–has been applied to every kind of person, from bratty children to coffee connoisseurs. As it turns out, the same holds true for that strain of people who not only qualify as “Do-It-Yourself”ers but actually know what they’re doing, without the advice of someone on HGTV or a website.
