A Little Sprout

I officially have my first sprouts!!! I have three now; two Cherokee purples ( a deep red tomato ) and one small yellow tomato. There are approx 5 of each in the soil. Or maybe ten??? I don't remember actually. But nevertheless, something's growing and I'm just happy for that. Kinda an Xmas gift from nature ;)


Merry Xmas everyone! Enjoy!

Day 1

Finally started my veggie seeds last night. I'm really hoping that I got it all worked out right.
I was able to get seeds from an online seed exchange. A lovely woman from Puerto Rico and another from North Carolina sent me a variety of seeds!!! And last night I finally got some (most) of them planted!!!
Some habaneros, eggplants, peas, small tomatoes, and oregano. The oregano seeds were so tiny, I wasn't sure how to plant them. So I just threw them in the soil hoping the will take.
Hopefully, in two weeks we'll have some sprouts to show you all.

For now, enjoy!!!

Kolackis in Florida

My nana lived in Cleveland for many years, raising my mom and her sisters there. The population in Cleveland at that time was filled with immigrants from eastern europe..... Slovak,Czech and Polish, mostly. One pastry that me and my sister really remember was the the poppyseed roll but she also made Kolackis. Mom decided to make them this winter for the holidays.

I'm sure the recipe is different than what you all are used to and I think folding them not have been the way they were originally made. I only ever saw them in Brno in a circular form. Enjoy! :)

A cute upcycling, not bicycling!

Found some watering cans at a second hand shop yesterday and turned them into some groovy pots. They were like 2 bucks each and already someone's waste. Check it out.
