Thursday, January 29th Pucker Up

I took a citrus plate to Girl's Night Out dinner at Paula's last night. This time of year, I've about had it with roasted this and comfort that! A little citrus to brighten the color of the dinner plate and to wake up the taste buds is welcome, even when it's -2 outside.

Sunday, January 18th Same syrup, New wordiness

Don and Pat went to the Maple Syrup Producers Conference and came back with this new syrup grading kit. It's the same syrup, but now we have to call it by different names. We didn't buy any "Fancy" stickers since we never make fancy syrup. That's for city folks.

Saturday, January 17th What's Your Angle?

The cross piece on the barn door must be cut exactly right (correctly) so that the angles of the diagonal support fit into the square frame. Guess you better know your geometry!

Some measuring

Angling the saw for the proper angle cut

Making the cut.

Stay tuned to see if it worked!

Angle's no ANGEL,
Or circle or sphere,
But they do come in handy,
When building, my dear...

She huffed

and she puffed

and she blew the candles out!
