Just like the picture..........

I don't normally post food, but I tried a new recipe from a cookbook the kids gave me. "Swiss Chard and Gruyere Tart". I don't really know when you are supposed to serve this. Is it an appetizer ? Brunch? Dinner? Anyway we will have it with dinner tonight, family is coming - good guinea pigs.
I am glad I started this early today. Mix, refrigerate,

roll, bake, cool, chop, saute, mix, bake again...

Smells good.....

Smells good, but this was harder than it looks. Thank you Pinterest for the idea. After clicking on the project, I realized the instructions were in Norwegian (.. or something). I could not figure out how to take thin peels off of the orange - must be a special tool. So I just stuck cloves in and tried to make a pattern. Thumbs are sore. Wrist is sore. Mess all over the kitchen and it wasn't THAT much fun. But for what it is worth, it looks a little festive.

this week...Mmmmm

This week, I made a dessert that I found on pinterest. Looks good, haven't tried it yet.

While I'm at it...............

After making the warm fuzzys, this week I decided to make another heat bag. I left my old one down south because it is so heavy to carry in luggage and we always hit it pretty close to the weight limit on the plane. So this is my creative attempt for this week, not very artistic, but homemade just the same. And useful.

I have the 'warm fuzzies'

This week winter has arrived and I am dedicated to keeping warm.  These are little hand warmers made of flannel and rice (like a heat bag idea) . You heat them in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds and they will keep your hands warm in your mitts for up to an hour. They are not as good as the commercial ones ( that work for about 8 hours - but who is out that long?) but I like that you can reuse them over and over.

Better late than never.....

This week I was on vacation, so it was a simple one. Still, enjoyed it and liked the end result. Had a few pieces leftover...oh well.....

"Overall" it was a good week !

Right up to speed on this one. Although, last time I sewed some overalls, I mentioned they were for wee Maddy, but they weren't, these ones are. The last ones were for Sqeak. I hope they fit.
