So what’s this? Tofu. And it’s really good, I promise. I just posted the how to at Foodwhirl, and I’ll be adding some yummy Pad Thai tomorrow.
Plus next week comes Summer Shrimp Sushi, and Asparagus Shrimp Noodle Salad… All with overlapping ingredients, so you can plan several days worth of meals without over spending!
Also upcoming, blackberry tarts…or dewberry tarts, really. I just have to get around to writing it up!
So hop over to Foodwhirl to check it out. And if you think you have some inspired foodie goodness to share, just let me know! We love to feature guest posts!…
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday today (for those in the States of course, others can just have a lovely day!). If you’re still trying to get into the spirit, or throwing a little party today, here are some links to get ya going!
Here’s one of my favorite party projects, from July 4th a few years ago… Shrinky Stemware Charms made from recyclable #6 plastic (like from to-go containers)!
“For the 4th of July, my husband and best friend were running the Peachtree Road Race, so I decided to have brunch at my house and invite over friends for mimosas and…

It’s fraying around the edges, and was (I’m assuming) a quilt made for using, not displaying. The other was made by my Great Aunt Lottie, and it in much better shape. Both smell musty, even after washing.
So, what the heck do I do with these? (Apologies in advance for the poor photos..) I need ideas! Do I try…
The other day I had an inspiration… We have a mint plant that is growing like crazy, and I adore a little sprig of mint in my Iced Tea in the Summer time. So a recipe creation was in order… What about gelato, inspired by the flavors of good ol Southern iced tea? The experiment was quite a success – although next time I think I’ll add a bit of lemon zest to the mix to really capture a perfect iced tea. Go get the recipe over at Foodwhirl: Southern Mint Iced Tea Gelato.

Why of course I didn’t take the sketch I never finished for the “Slither” theme, add some quick paisleys to the background, and try to pass it off as the Paisley theme this week! How could you even think such a thing!?

I did this little sketch the other evening while The Boy was in Kung Fu class. I liked it, so I inked it up last night. Kinda cute, huh? Somewhat inspired by The Far Side, and somewhat by the accidental results of my brother’s mouse-based science fair project, back in the day….
