Dried Pineapple & Cherry Flowers

Let's just say that my husband and I are really getting into our food dehydrator this year! We've dried apples and bananas and applesauce roll ups. Yesterday I decided to try pineapple and cherry flowers. Even though I dried the pineapple rings and cherries on paper towels it still took forever for the flowers to dry. I wasn't sure the cherries would stay in the center of the rings, but eventually the pineapple dried enough to hold them. Just look at them! Gorgeous! And perfect for Bud's lunch box.

Happy day!

Savoury Broccoli Cakes - A blog worth sharing....

My husband and I sell antiques and vintage wares for a living. I was just signing in to check our Etsy shops and ran across this amazing guest blog by Ele of kitchenist, with a recipe worth sharing! What a cool way to pack in some broccoli! Once you visit this blog you will be hooked! FYI...clicking on blog will take you to The Storque, Etsy's Handmade Blog where you will find the recipe at the bottom of the page. Clicking on kitchenist will take you directly to Ele's blog.

Now, as a side note, we are finally finished with the Hillsville Antique and Gun Show! Hooray! Now we are exhausted and still have one more event next weekend...our annual fall Monster Yard Sale. Once that is over, we will have a little vacation. From now until the second week of October I may not have very many posts. But I will try my best to have something of interest for your, something like this recipe for Savoury Broccoli Cakes! Maybe even some recipes of my own.

So, happy daylight, while it still lasts.

XOXO

Hoarder

Okay, so this is what I have my sites on now. Just look at this pile of crap. Sorry for the grainy cell phone picture. Believe it or not, this house is for sale! Yes, for sale! And this is just a tiny little part of the mess piled up around the place. The man who formerly lived there was a hoarder and this pile in the carport is only a small portion of what came out of the house. There is more inside that I have not seen and a barn in the back that is full. It's just like those cartoon closets that are packed full of junk. You pull one piece out and it all spills out. You open the door to this barn and your face is about 6 inches from a 12 foot wall of tightly packed junk. There is no telling what is in there. We offered to clean out the entire house, carport, yard and barn for the contents. That way the family could sell the house and the poor old man who lived there could have some money to pay for his care facility. But alas, the siblings are at odds. Or maybe their father isn't really in a nursing home, but trapped beneath a pile of rubbish in this very carport. Maybe someday we can clean it up, for his sake, for the neighbors' sakes. I mean really, can you imagine living next to this?

Happy holiday, people! And remember, just donate it.
XOXO
