Instead of getting delivery or frozen pizza, we made our own. It was really good, though it will take a few more tried to get the stuffed-crust perfected. I am sure there will be no complaints from the taste-testers.
My hair has gotten more wavy as I have gotten older (we will not discuss the silver invasion). Letting it air dry gives it an interesting bounce and makes it look a lot more full. The Rogue has to make sure he washes his hair in plenty of time to let it dry, or it is an unruly mess in the morning. And the Toddler? Well, many cows licked him so his hair does what it wants to, wet or dry.
Sadly, we will not be buying any more meat from the vendor at the first farmers’ market. The pork chops were mainly bone and fat with very little usable meat. We have not yet opened the beef but I am not keeping my hopes up. We are really disappointed but are not giving up. We will find a source for organic meet locally.
I love our new cast iron pans. LOVE THEM! They are taking some getting used to but I am so happy we made the switch. I really want to make a pineapple upside down cake in the big skillet like I had when I was a little girl. Yum!
Making foaming hand soap with Dr. Bronner’s soap worked better than I expected. It mixed easily and foams really nicely. It is not as conditioning as other foaming soaps are but it rinses easier and my hands feel cleaner. I am going to make some and add a couple drops of lemon essential oil to use in the kitchen for getting those strong food prep smells off my hands.
I am proud to say that after an afternoon of prepping produce for the week, Audrey II is now full. Since we plan on using the compost for our garden, I need to decide on a bigger composter to dump the contents into.
Cloth diapering is an adventure. They leak more than the disposables did and we are changing the Toddler more often. Six disposables are not quite enough to last us for a day, so either we need to buy more, let him run around naked more and hope he figures out the potty or resort to disposables on occasion. So far we have avoided the disposables – but we ended up with an unexpected piddle puddle when we made a run to the bank. My kid, the Super Soaker! The Rogue now knows not to put a dryer sheet or fabric softener in with the cloth diapers. I did not know we even had any left, it has been that long since I have used them. Ah well, lesson learned. I will be honest – I prefer disposables, but we will stick with it.
My present has not arrived yet. I am told it should be here tomorrow.

Sounds like a very productive week. I have to admit, though, that I giggled while ready about the dryer sheet/fabric softener with cloth diapers.
