GOOD AND BASIC SPINNING WHEEL PRODUCT REVIEW
Joseph Bjork contacted me on behalf of him and his wife Aubrey. They are the husband-and-wife team who run Good and Basic Manufacturing. This design team 3-D Print and Sell Products. He asked if we would be willing to do a product review on one of their products a 3-D Spinning Wheel with accessories.
I have to admit the thought of spinning wool was very intriguing! We have a friend who has a wonderful sheep farm and spins. We love her work.
I explained to him that we had no experience in spinning wool but would love to learn. We accepted his offer. Today's post is a review of their 3-D Spinning Wheel.

BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES TEST KITCHEN'S RECIPE
I really like this recipe! It is a little different than the ones my grandmama made. These are not as sweet but have a very good taste! Chuck couldn't wait to open one and I had one that I wasn't too sure of the seal so I said go for it and taste some of these. He sat down with a plate of them! He likes them! Tonight I tried one and between the Hoss Straight Eight Cucumbers picked small and this recipe I call them another addition to our pickle family.

Tomato Seed Varieties
This post sat in drafts and I've just realized that I'd neglected to publish it before now. I'll use this as a guide for next year. I started many seeds in my MiracleGro AeroGarden and was well pleased. I had almost 100% germination!
As of this day May 4th I have many plants growing like crazy as shown in the picture above on the left.
These are the current seeds I have on hand. I'm trying to decide which to grow now and which for later. to choose and grow. I'm excited and can't wait for the first taste of freshly grown tomatoes this year.

Valentine Flowers and Seafood Coating Recipe
Chuck gave me these beautiful flowers the other day. He knows I love pink! I fried the seafood a few days ago as well. Yesterday we had wonderful steaks. I know you're not supposed to brag on yourself but they were so good. We've had our flowers seafood and steak what will we have today?
I really don't know what we'll have today. Guess it will be a surprise to all. Heck, I may make Hamburger Helper, who knows?
Today I'll be sharing a great and easy way to fry shrimp and scallops.
Sausage Garlic Cheese Grits Casserole
One of my first jobs was in an office with a lady named Eleanor. She talked of a casserole that she would prepare the day before and bake on Christmas morning. She was always so excited because all of her family would be home. They all enjoyed this dish. This isn't her recipe, I don't remember the ratio of ingredients but she told me what was in it. At that time she used a special garlic cheese. I've not found any of that so I improvised with cheddar and garlic.
We had this today for brunch and I thought I'd have to remove Chuck from the kitchen! He just kept eating it. π
Today sharing a memory in a recipe!

The Box Garden (Where are the Boxtrolls?) and It's Snowing Y'all!
I don't think new tender rose bushes can take ice and snow
Chuck reminded me of all the delivery boxes he was going to take to recycle
Stroke of genius,
I had forgotten that I used to use cardboard to protect plants in the past
When expecting extreme weather.
While I was covering my newest roses I couldn't help but think of a cute movie.
'The Boxtrolls' the grandsons and I went to see a few years back.
Last week we were expecting sleet ice and snow the first time I covered them
We didn't get the snow and thankfully no ice so I uncovered them.
Yesterday I covered them again because here in South Carolina
We're actually expecting SNOW!
