A Thrifty Tuesday! How to squeeze every last bit of nutrition out of some basic purchases. Upcycling galore!
Photo 1. I love these rotisserie chickens from the market. Healthy, easy and affordable, and with a couple of items from the produce section, your entire two and four-legged family will be fed for several meals! 2. Onions, celery, pumpkin leftovers from the Jacks, and the chicken bones leftover from all the chicken you pulled off. 3. Fill pot with water, and simmer for about 8 hours. 4/5. Strain into large measuring cup. 6. Pour into glass jars and label. 7. Share some with puppy. 8. Give the cooked bones and veggies to the chickens. 9. Use container to grow microgreens for salad. 10. Even use the container handle for "To do" notes! Every morning I have a cup of warm broth to chase down my double espresso, and my puppy gets some warm broth with her meals.
Joe Froggers, c. 1800
In Marblehead, Mass., Joe Frogger cookies have been a prized sweet for generations . They are large ginger cookies first baked by a man known as Old Black Joe Brown and his wife Lucretia, known as Aunty Crese. Joe was a soldier in the American Revolution. After the war, he and his wife ran a tavern on Gingerbread Hill near a small pond filled with frogs. Hence the name ‘Joe Frogger.’ The cookies kept for a long time, and sailors and fishermen took barrels of Joe Froggers with them on their voyages.
All natural, superfood dental treats for your dog
Dogs love treats. Best to give them the good stuff. Greenies brand dental treats have terrible ingredients, and doesn't your precious pooch deserve so much more? Food should be love. I have formulated what I believe to be the very best dog dental/intestinal cookie out there. Ingredients in photo, bake at 375 for 10 minutes, store in fridge.
There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!
