Recipe ~ Star Starter and other news...


All Purpose Breakfast Batter
The following recipe is from Martha Stewart.
I used it to make Baked Doughnuts and Raspberry Muffins,

 On to other news..

2020 was going to be my first year attending the Garden Bloggers Fling.
It has been canceled. 
The good news is Madison will be able to host the event in 2021.

The Madison Fling is officially postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Seattle/Puget Sound committee has graciously offered to reschedule their Fling to 2022.
So, our new dates are Thursday, June 24, through Sunday, June 27, 2021Many aspects of our itinerary will change, but many will be similar. We'll take a break from planning for the time being. 
Stay tuned for more updates—here and on our Garden Bloggers Facebook Page

  10. I'm so proud of your son serving in the National Guard....what great work he is doing at this time of need. I will be glad when I can get enough flour to bake again. I'm saving what I have to make homemade pizza. It was on the grocery list...but was already off the shelves by the time we shopped. (something to look forward too!) Take care and stay safe!

  11. Prayers for Sam. I so admire all those on the front lines. Whether it's first responders, or the cashier at the grocers. They are serving all of us during this difficult time. It makes me think about how things were for people during WWII when food was rationed and people planted victory gardens, and sacrificed so much for our country. I wonder if there will be more vegetable gardens this year. Nice to think that might happen. A positive, for sure. Hugs, Nancy
