My husband made dinner tonight (I know…I am so spoiled) and he picked out this Rachel Ray recipe. In the middle of cooking it—he says “what is lemon curd?” I start to describe and he says “oh well-guess we will just skip that ingredient.” Next thing I know he is whipping up some homemade lemon curd! Isn’t he the coolest? Even though the curd recipe didn’t have a chance to sit for a week-the dinner was still delicious and the house smells phenomenal!
I love a long holiday weekend. Extra time with the family, get togethers with friends and cooking out on the grill. Lillie and I kept busy with some projects that I thought I would share.
I decided to brave the tie dye experience. I can’t believe that I have never tried this before now but really what better way to say I am an American then (than?? Oh crap…I am American! No knowledge of grammar, spelling or as I am sure you have gathered…punctuation.) with some gaudy tie dye apparel? We just used some older clothes for the project. Everyone dug up an old white tee and I even found an all white onesie so Caleb could join in the fun. I limited the palette to red and blue and we kept some of the tee white and ta-dahhhh! Our patriotic look to sport on the 4th was complete. It was fun…and MESSY!
We remembered to wear our plastic gloves so our hands wouldn’t get dyed but I forgot about my feet and didn’t wear shoes. Genius. Lil really got into the color and I was worried her shirt would look too purple from the colors mixing but I was pleased with the end results.
And here is a quick project that cost under $5. JoAnn flip-flops for a buck and a tiny amount of fabric.
