I know that I save a lot on our groceries by shopping there, and am happy when someone else can find the same savings.<br />well, it sure sounds like a lot of people don't subscribe to feeds, at all. That is a huge relief for me. <br />Thanks for reading, Patti!

The rest are in the freezer. The night I received the gift, I threw a handful of raspberries, a sprinkle of sugar and a dash of salt and heated it for about 5 minutes. My daughter and I poured that over a slice of the bundt cake!! Delicious!! I will surely make a chocolate cake to use with the raspberries, sounds like a great excuse for chocolate cake...tehehe!!

Raspberry jam i...Oh wow! 12 pints sounds wonderful! Raspberry jam is one of my favorite things to do with raspberries. Then you have that raspberry flavor, long after the season is over. Melted raspberry jam makes a pretty "sauce" over pear and each slices, for a light dessert.<br /><br />Or, raspberry sorbet, very easy to make if you have a hand-crank ice cream maker (like the Donvier).<br /><br />But also, just fresh, especially topping a chocolate cake. I love the flavors of raspberry and chocolate combined. Raspberries go well with fresh peaches, either in a fruit salad, or baked together in a cobbler I think. I like the color combination as well as the flavor. And raspberry lemonade is pretty and very easy. Put a large handful of the most ripe, even overripe, raspberries in a blender, along with some of lemonade (a couple of cups). Blend, then pour through a sieve to strain out seeds. Add more lemonade to make about 2 quarts. Adjust sweetening, if desired.<br />And raspberry vinegar is nice to make a rosy vinaigrette salad dressing. Here's the proportions and directions I use for both raspberry and blackberry vinegars:<br /><br />http://www.creativesavv.com/2013/08/how-to-make-phenomenal-salad-dressing.html<br /><br />Have fun yard saling with your son!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-54107834970289834862015-05-21T11:18:53.735-07:002015-05-21T11:18:53.735-07:00No, big plans, so to speak!

In reading your bio...that's what caught my attention, that you did your taxes long hand (like I did since the seventies until just recently), and you loved art like I do. What an odd combination I have known privately about myself, and to find another person out there in blogland whose journey is similar to our family's in the season of life we are in (thanks Teresa!), that told me your blog is the one to read. <br /><br />I think your blog goes beyond the obvious frugal discussion that is so common with other frugal type blogs and is true "creative savv." It is not just the bits and pieces of frugal tips that make your blog special, but it is your mental framework that hangs the bits and pieces, or "creative savv", that is unique. Of course, the dollars saved from frugal hard work, inspired by reading your blog speaks for itself... another $300+ food spend this month for our family!!<br /><br />YHFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-2060570752787602062015-05-20T07:42:59.955-07:002015-05-20T07:42:59.955-07:00As far as I know, my feed (I use Feedspot) has bee...As far as I know, my feed (I use Feedspot) has been working without a glitch.

what you're currently experiencing...HI Christa,<br />what you're currently experiencing is the result of one of the supposed fixes, to use only partial posts in the feeds. This eliminated a bunch of things like imageanchor attributes (I had to ask my son what on Earth those were), which were encoded at the end of posts, from feeds, and helped my feeds show up in some readers. I've reached the point where I'm no longer sure what I've done, and where with this blogs publishing and feeds. But, I have learned a whole lot about the kind of stuff most of us never think about with computers.<br /><br />Thank you for your support! It means a lot to me!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.com
