Jan, can you turn part of the gloves inside out? the inside out ones will then be left handed
What WHAT?????? Why have I never thought of that???? I'll bet that won't help Jan because in CO they don't wear sissy gloves like we do here in the south. They wear big honking THICK gloves. But thanks! I can definately do this with my thin gardening gloves.

I always keep a jar of bacon grease in the frig. Just saw something about making an emergency candle out of that. Have to remember in an emergency.

Gosh! Just counted six new lemon buds on my Meyer lemon tree. I mean, the tree is only 2 /5 feet tall. Wonder how many I'd get if it were five feet tall! Very worthwhile investment. I'm saving every seed to start new meyer lemon trees.

I've been doing leg muscle "squeezes" and leg lifts at the computer, riding in the car (not driving and can't do the lifts there) at meetings where my legs are not noticable. I really see a difference in the tone! I consider this like a trip to the gym! I read about this when researching Pilates. The guy who started that exercised in a war prison cell as a way of keeping fit. My friend has started exercising each time she visits the bathroom. Gets a little funny at work. She does a set of squats or pushups against the wall or cabinet.

Every so often I like to watch Depression cooking with clara. Lots of good ideas for making homemade, healthy food for less.

Prov31 wife: that is a great idea about the Christmas presents. I keep a log on the computer of what I have bought. I use large shopping bags for each person in the family that I store in a closet. This way I can see what is lacking....

HOMEMADE GRAHAM CRACKERS
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups graham flour (whole wheat is fine)
1/4 cup evaporated cane juice sugar (regular sugar is fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup water (may need a little more--I used another tablespoonful)
In bowl of food processor, combine flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Pulse a few times. Add the cold butter and pulse until texture is dry and crumbly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, molasses and water. Add to food processor and blend together until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough out on a well floured surface (I used all purpose). Roll the dough out pretty thin and cut with cookie cutters or cut into rectangles. Make fork marks in the dough. Transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper (that's what I use, just a baking sheet would work fine). You could sprinkle these with sugar or cinnamon/sugar before baking.
Bake for 11-14 minutes until golden and crisp. This recipe made 19 3 1/2 inch hearts.
