Weekend Finds: Sharing the Love

If you live anywhere near Tennessee, you are well aware of how much rain we had over the weekend.  Between Thursday and Sunday morning we gathered a whopping eight and a half inches of rain.  Crazy weather for July and not so good weather for the garden.  Needless to say, there was no yard sailing this past weekend.  I did however get a "clean out" bug and cleaned out my cabinet that houses all my old vases and pitchers that I use to hold flowers on my table and where ever.  I had to make some tough decisions on which ones to get rid of.  I made a garage sale box and decided to list some on my etsy site Peppysis to pass along some love to anyone who's interested. 

 

If you find something you really like and are local, we can do away with the shipping and you can come get it or whatever.  I hope you enjoy!

 

 

As an avid collector of junk, I have a hard time letting go of things sometimes.  Thinking "I'm going to wish I still had that one day."  But one can't possible keep everything... can they?  I guess if you want more room to walk in your house besides down pathways through junk!  It's not that bad really.



New Shop Items

New shop items... in both shops!  Mainly spent shotgun shells and rusted.... I mean rustic stuff I found in a bucket in Shaun's shop but it will all be of use to someone!  My main shop has new handmade items that I have had a lot of fun making including employing the help of my darling husband.  He is so handy!  Especially since I truly don't think I should be trusted using a table saw. 

Please take a look when you have a minute.  You can click on the links to my shops on the left >

I cannot help but say "why yes... my neck is red."

Why do you ask?

French Toast for Two

Good morning!  I cook breakfast everyday for my Hun and me.  No matter what I cook it doesn't take longer than about fifteen minutes.  It is just part of our routine everyday to sit down for a few minutes to eat breakfast together before heading out for a long day.  We both enjoy it and wouldn't have it any other way.  Plus it keeps both of us out of the gas station morning money trap or fast food lines.  I would much rather spend fifteen minutes in the kitchen cooking breakfast and hanging with Shaun than sitting in a drive through line.  Think about it.

This morning I made sausage, one fried egg for Shaun and four pieces of french toast. The sausage and egg you can figure for yourself.  I cooked the sausage first while I slapped the french toast dip together.  Then fried the egg in the sausage grease (gross.. I don't care for fried eggs but the Mr. loves them) then drain the grease and follow these directions: 

In a shallow bowl, combine with a fork, one egg, 1/4 cup milk, a splash of vanilla and a few shakes of cinnamon.  Melt a tablespoon of butter in your already hot skillet.  Dip the first two pieces of bread into the egg mixture and coat both sides.  Then transfer them into your skillet.  Don't leave the bread in the mixture to soak or you won't have enough dip for four pieces of bread.  Allow the bread to cook on each side for two minutes on medium heat.  Transfer to breakfast plates (paper plates = less clean up) and repeat with remaining two pieces of bread.  Drizzle maple syrup over and enjoy. 

I began breakfast this morning at 6:21.  We sat down to eat at 6:37.  Make time to feed yourself.  It doesn't have to be this breakfast.  Maybe I will share more of our breakfasts that I make with you just to show you how easy and fast it can be to include breakfast into your bust morning.  At least you know what wen in it and didn't wait in line inhaling exhaust for it. 

Have a great day!
