While working on the beach photos for the annual album I couldn't help but laugh at all the faces people made while battling the wild waves this year, especially Jarmon's dear friend Kristin...priceless!

Enjoying the Glimpse of Spring

I love March down South. The days are getting longer, flowers are starting to pop up all over the yard, (even though some are weeds), and seeds can be planted in flats. I go about trying to uncover my gardens and planning to plant far too much for me ever to take care of.  But I love the smells herbs can bring and I love how they can change an ordinary dish into something spectacular. I love growing flowers that can also be used for medicine. The coming of Spring is a magical time.   I forgot where I purchased it, but sometime in the winter I saw this garden stool. Anyone who has weeded knows that the back can only take so many hours of weeding.  This week I took this collapsible stool out of its box and gave it a try. Perfect! Weeding can be therapeutic if one is comfortable. There is a sense of accomplishment when the garden is exposed after being covered by weeds all winter. This stool has pockets for tools, is small enough to fit in confined places and can b...

English Muffins

I have always liked English Muffins growing up as a child, toasted with a bit of butter. But like most processed items in the grocery store, I noticed my store bought muffins could last months on the counter without molding, and they just did not taste good anymore. So, I found this easy recipe for my English Muffins. You will need a good mixer, like a Kitchen-Aid. With a good mixer, this really is a pretty easy way to make the dough. Also, buy some English Muffin Rings from King Arthur Flour Company. They make creating muffins a snap, and they help the dough rise higher. You can also use them to make the perfect round poached egg for an Egg McMuffin. Though, you can cook these muffins in a skillet, I prefer to use a non-stick griddle. With this item you can cook 6 muffins at a time. 1 cup warm water (115°) 1 tsp. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast 2 cups all-purpose flour 2-3 Tbsp. butter, melted 1 tsp. salt 6 Tbsp. yellow cornmeal 1. In the bowl of a freestanding mixer s...
