Home Made Peanut Butter - I did it!!

Spent the day shelling peanuts and making homemade peanut butter. It was pretty easy. I got the recipe for doing it from my favorite book - Homemade: A Surprisingly Easy Guide to Making Hundreds of Everyday Products You Would Otherwise Buy
! I love this book! It has so many things in it that I have made. I use this book about everyday. But the peanut butter was pretty good. I did not get the peanuts ground really fine , so the peanut butter is crunchy. Which , I love!! So, this peanut butter is for me alone. Everyone in the house loves smooth. I will eat them both. I am too poor to gripe about the food. LOL

Oh and just found out that my son's computer does not have the right place on it for me to put my camera. It is an older Olympus digital camera. I had took photos of the whole process of making the peanut butter , too. :(

Baking Bread Part 2

The bread turned out pretty good and was gone by evening. LOL
I still need more practice. I did not think that the bread was "fluffy" enough. But, of course that might be just me. I am used to buying packaged bread.
I am still going to bake bread every weekend until I get it done right. I want to be able to bake bread good enough that if there was an emergency I would be able to do it with no problem. I am a firm believer that you need to learn to do things before it is needed!!!!!!

RV Living??

This might be something that a lot of us need to look into. It would be killing 2 birds with one stone. You would have transportation and housing in one thing.

Might be something to look into. I know that we could not afford to buy a new one, but might be on the lookout for an older one in good running order.

I DID IT!!!!!

With a little help from my husband. I guess I do not knead the dough good enough, but with his help with the kneading we have officially made our first real loaf of bread!!!! I am so happy. I will take photos of it in a bit. My camera is charging right now. I am just so happy , I had to share it with you all. If anyone has read my blog for any length of time , than you know that I have been having trouble with baking a loaf of bread. LOL

We used the bread recipe in this book.

Winterizing The House

Unfortunately, we have to spend another winter in this cracker box of a house. Which is much too small and too cold. So we have been trying to do some stuff to get it ready for winter. I spent the other day, which was way too warm and nice to be thinking about the cold of winter, wrapping the bottom of our small back deck with some black rubber stuff. My husband got it from his work - I think that it actually is supposed to be laid on the floor so that workers do not slip in factories. But anyway he got 10 of them and I put 3 of them around the bottom of our back porch/deck. To keep the wind out of the crawl space. We did not find out until this past spring that it was under there and does not shut up to well. So then we knew why the floor was always so cold. LOL
Next we got most of the windows in the house covered with plastic and I have new insulated curtains up in all of the bedrooms and living room.
Next weekend we are going to seal up the back door. We are going to try and do it between the screen and the door. That way we can still get out if we had too. Just rip the plastic off. But it will seal up the doors. A lot of air gets in our back door because the screen door does not seal up right.

MY WISH - the next house we get has a wood burning stove!
