Alright folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m spilling the beans on my latest kitchen adventure: resurrecting an old stainless steel flour sifter. You know, the kind your grandma probably used? Yeah, that one. The Backstory: I stumbled upon this sifter at a flea market. It was rusty, dusty, and looked like it had seen better days. But, something about it just screamed “restore me!” So, naturally,...

Okay, let’s talk about these egg beater pedals I slapped on my bike recently. Getting Started – Why Even Bother? So, my old pedals, the regular clipless kind, were starting to really tick me off. Every time I hit a bit of mud, which happens a lot around here, they’d get jammed up. Clipping in became a nightmare, sometimes couldn’t get in at all. Clipping...

So, I saw this “organic baking powder” thing showing up more often lately. You know, on the shelves next to the regular stuff. Always wondered what the big deal was. My Little Experiment One weekend, I was planning to bake some simple scones, nothing fancy. My usual baking powder tin was looking a bit sad, almost empty. So I thought, okay, let’s give this organic...

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I’m about to spill the tea (or, you know, the jam) on my apricot jam baking adventures. I’m no pro, just a regular home baker who likes to experiment, and sometimes those experiments go sideways – but hey, that’s how we learn, right? So, it all started last week when I saw a mountain of gorgeous apricots at the farmer’s...

Alright, let’s talk about this Glicks High Gluten Flour I got my hands on. I’d been trying to make some decent bagels at home, you know, the kind with a real chew, not just soft bread rings. My regular all-purpose flour just wasn’t cutting it. Everything came out too soft, too fluffy. So, I went looking for something with more muscle. Found this Glicks brand,...

You know, I got looking at that organic lemon juice powder you can buy. Sometimes it tastes kinda funny, not really like lemon, you know? And I happened to have a bunch of organic lemons sitting around from the farmer’s market trip last weekend. Seemed like way too many just for squeezing into water. So, I thought, okay, let’s try making my own powder. See...

Alright, let me tell you about my little adventure trying to get my hands on some Irish soda bread the other day. Woke up thinking about it, you know? Just had that craving for a slice, nice and dense, maybe with a bit of butter. So, first stop, I went down to my usual big supermarket. Figured they’d have it, they seem to stock everything...

Alright, let’s talk about my adventure with Great Value whipping cream. I decided to try it out, you know, for science… and because I needed whipped cream. First off, I grabbed a carton of the Great Value whipping cream from Walmart. It was way cheaper than the brand name stuff, which always makes me a little suspicious, but I figured, what the heck? Then I...

Okay, so today I wanted to share my little adventure with baking powder. It all started last week when I was trying to bake a cake. I thought, “Hey, I’m gonna be a baking whiz!” First things first, I checked my pantry, and BOOM, realized I was out of baking powder. Disaster, right? Cake dreams almost shattered. So, I did what any sane person would...

Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the beans on this little side hustle thing I’ve been doing: selling biscuits. Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s been a journey, let me tell you. It all started when my grandma passed down her biscuit recipe. Seriously, these biscuits are legendary. Everyone who tries them goes nuts. I was making them for family gatherings and folks were always saying,...
