Comments (21)I'm not any sort of an expert but I'd vote for fox on this one, based on the head/ears shape/proportion. If this was a young fox, 10am might not be too unreasonable. Foxes gotta get a clue (and breakfast) too.. You might call DNR or the Parks/Rec folks or the Extension office (if they have such a thing here) to see if there have been other sightings. If they have, you can find out whether you need to be concerned about the critter being ill/scary. But HOW COOL to see that in the yard! I saw one about 1/2 mile from the house one early evening, very surprising to me but not totally unexpected since we have several woodsy areas nearby, along with the race track/training area.

Comments (4)Bar keeper's friend will certainly do the trick but why bother? I have the french cooktop which is the same material and I keep it seasoned and black as possible. I recommend you do the same with your griddle. Keep that lovely black patina on the griddle and maintain the nice non-stick surface. Why do you want your stove looking brand-new every day? That's usually a sign of someone who only knows how to work the take out menu. Honestly. Rub a light coating of peanut oil on it, set the heat to low and then medium and leave it until it's baked on. Repeat a couple of times. Then let people marvel at the beautiful griddle that is clearly loved and well cared for. -Stooxie...See MoreSaturday breakfast......
Comments (12)Well this solves my "what to do with leftover yogurt" dilema, as I'm sure I can sub it for the sour cream. This would be a great little cake to have in the freezer for when company comes. If only it wasn't so dang hot! I made blueberry muffins on the cool day. It's not so bad baking in the early morning.

Comments (69)Sleevendog, the wonderful thing about belated Birthday well-wishes is that they extend the happiness : ) And thank you both (Islay, too) for the Charcuterie Definition. I didn’t know the French pronunciation, but doubt I’ll use it here, or even the word charcuterie. Most here would think me pretentious, which is silly as I like to use words correctly. So, does this mean if I make canadian bacon or pastrami (from pork), I can (temporarily) call myself a Charcutier? LOL! Well, I just might anyway! Sleevendog, thank you also for mentioning the free-edge/live-edge board. That was my gift to myself : ) I think it’s so beautiful! I often toss together a board (the bread board above was from an old restaurant, the charcuterie with live edge from Etsy) of cheeses, crackers, meats, apples, grapes… whatever I have on hand, for pre-dinner snacking, or lunch nibbling. I wanted a larger, prettier board than the bread board : ) Funny thing is, when I bought my first furniture, the area in which I lived had tons of furniture with free-edging/live edging (horizontal slice tree trunks, vertical slabs). And they were cheap! And huge! I bought a large one for my coffee table on a major budget. New! After a while, the area was over-saturated with them, and I couldn’t give mine away when upgrading. Truth! So when they first came out, it took me a while to not see them as ‘cheap’ stuff! I have learned a new appreciation… everything old is new again : ) I think it looks both rustic and fine, simultaneously. I am a wood grain lover. And while I have your attention, those flageolet beans? Amazing. We can’t stop eating them on salads. I’m making some with leftover too-salty ribs, shredded, and roasted tomatoes next. Mercurygirl, you sound like me, I’ve moved several plants, including roses. Hard to keep up with where they are until they leaf out or bloom! Naturegirl, you are most welcome! Edie, I have one of those rolling pins! So heavy! I am sure you can roll it out thin enough. I would recommend a few things… if using crackers for cheeses, don’t add cheese to the cracker dough, just make them as is, and perhaps toss in some dried herbs (the flavor of dried herbs does come through) as appropriate. If serving with a soup, or alone, cheese tastes wonderful : ) Annie, don’t do what I did, though, and over prep/cook! I was feeling a bit frazzled by the time the day rolled around! But yes, making lots of nibbles satisfies everyone. And they can be easy ones. BTW, your hummus was wonderful! Thank you! I froze some, and hope that’s ok....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoMarilyn Sue thanked carolb_w_fl_coastal_9/10
