Yep. Still Eating

Green salsa from my heirloom Aunt Ruby's Green tomatoes.

The best gazpacho ever. For real.

Tomato sandwiches (with a Mr. Stripey heirloom tomato from my garden) on toasted multi-grain bread and basil mayonnaise. And salt. All tomatoes need salt. Well, except cherry tomatoes, which are best eaten fresh off the vine while still hot from the sun.


And rainbow salsa, mostly from my heirloom tomatoes and a few others just thrown in.

(Oh, and loaf #2 turned out much prettier.)

That rainbow salsa looks so good. I've been enjoying tomatoes from my garden this year. Not enough to make salsa.

Sigh. Not fair. I have planted Mr. Stripey's two years in a row and NOTHING. Not one single tomato!

All that salsa looks so good!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Cloth Napkins

Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
