I am happily married to the most wonderful man I ever took a chance on. I enjoy time spent in the kitchen - it relaxes me. As someone pointed out to me, the kitchen is often the heart of the home. Potts! Established November 8, 2008. This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Using cardboard looms all 6th-8th grade art students created two small circle weaving for a permanent collaborative installation in the library. Most of the yarn was collected by sending out a district wide email and the cardboard was cut from the numerous Blick art supply boxes I have been saving. With very little cost, and a high level of visual impact, this project was a great success! Prep- Cut MANY 3x3 inch squares.

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. Happy New Year, everyone! You can read my first official post of 2015 HERE. Let me know what you think.

Keeping track of my attempts in the world of charcuterie. Mixed together the dry cure and brown sugar in a ziploc bag. Added the pork belly to the bag, rubbed the belly with the cure, and gave the bag a couple good shakes.
