Rosemary Garlic Olive Oil
I decided that it would be super fancy to have Rosemary Garlic infused olive oil. You all know how I like fancy. We grew garlic in our garden this year, and I’ve had a pot of Rosemary getting sunny on my windowsill for a few weeks now. All I needed was a vessel for the…

Craft Project
I’m not a crafty person. I could reiterate, but it’s ok, you can take my word for it. Lately I’ve had the urge to make stuff. Not food stuff, though I’ve been doing plenty of that, too. It started with some alterations to a dress. Yeah, it’s still sitting next to my bed waiting to…
