Good Eating Monday: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding!

-
Image
Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top....

Garden Pic Wednesday: Fall Gardenia Bloom!

-
Image
I went out to mow the front yard and found my neighbor whom we're friendly with (James) working hard on chopping a very old Sago Palm out of his landscape. I think it's original landscape from 25 years ago. Sago Palms were tropical trendy with landscapers in the 80's and 90's and they're cute when they're young; kind of like a shrub of palm fronds. Then they get old and get taller, taking on more of a stubby palm tree form 3 to 6 feet tall and they produce madly around the base. James had dug a 20 inch hole around it and still hadn't reached the root bottom. He did find about a dozen little baby Sago's and pulled those out.  The stem was about 10 inches thick and 24 inches tall from where it was cut off to the bottom of the hole. James decided he was going to use his truck to yank it out. So, he tied a strap around the Sago stem, tied it to his truck and pulled---it didn't budge. The strap just popped over the top. I think he tried a couple tim...

Wednesday Garden Pic: Night Blooming Jasmine!

-
Image
I've spent the past two days clearing out a spot for my new Night Blooming Jasmine topiary. I wanted the use the area behind the rain garden, which has been a jungle of leaf build-up, native daylilies, flag iris, spider plants (houseplant type), glad greenery and Chocolate elephants ears. The elephant years weren't thriving, so I dug all those up to move. I mowed and clipped everything else to the ground, giving me space to plant the new topiary.  It's the only sunny location I had left to plant it.  I replanted 4 of the Chocolate Elephant ears around it's base, then transplanted a bunch of Ajuga ground cover in the area as well. Everything else will grow back by fall, probably. (The Chocolate Elephant ears turn a rich burgundy color.) We'll see how it does. This is Florida. Soggy is pretty much our middle name. Here's my supply of Ajuga: It's on the north corner of my house among ferns with a Hybr...

Garden Pic Wednesday: Electric Halloween

-

  Garden Pic today is my electric Jack O' Lanterns near the front door with a Coneflower behind. I have a single taller one out front, looking out toward the road next to the Holly tree. It actually was not as dark as the photo appears. I used Ribbet photo shop make the background darker.. Ribbet is having their annual Halloween photo contest, so the picture above became the picture below as an entry:

Friday Finds: More Easy Holiday Table Decor Ideas!

-

With the holidays and big family meals in mind, I'm another week on easy holiday table decorating!  I've collected some photo ideas from Pinterest I think anyone could do! Just remember the centerpiece height rule:  no taller then 12 inches!  Idea #1:  Bowl of "Pomander Balls" Made from Oranges & Whole Cloves! The oranges & cloves release a spicy scent as the orange dries. Tying them with a ribbon & hanging them in a closet was an old-fashioned method of "closet freshener."  But they make a fancy looking holiday centerpiece! You just need oranges, a bottle of Whole Cloves and something to poke through the orange skin just enough so you can insert your cloves,  such as the end of a wood skewer or a nail. Just make sure it's not wider then your clover stem. If the hole is too big, the cloves will fall out.  You could use a pencil to lightly outline a general pattern, if you like. I've included a second photo example where r...
