I took a sewing class from a fabric/crafts store and then proceeded to NOT sew anything for a solid 6 months.
But I finally got down to business last weekend and made a skirt from pillowcases!

Pillow Case Skirt
This is something I've been meaning to do for the longest time.

Taking Recycling to a New Level
We all learned in the first grade that recycling was good for the planet.
Recycle, reduce, reuse....and close the loop!
And I do take my plastics, glass, cardboard and junk mail to the recycling center. I wash out glass containers and reuse them. I even have plans to build an entire house from recycled materials (I love what Dan Phillips is doing).

Flavor of the Week: Carrot Blueberry Muffins
I managed to save just enough freshly picked blueberries for a batch of Carrot Blueberry Muffins this weekend. Not an easy task might I add (the saving of the blueberries, not the making of the muffins....those were some dang delicious blueberries!)

Picking Blueberries!
Add this to my list of favorite things!
I have been wanting to pick my own blueberries for quite a while now and finally decided to just pick a place and DO IT.
Opting not to drive almost 2 hours to a farm recommended by a friend, I searched pickyourown.org for a closer farm that still had reasonable prices. (Be forewarned, this site belongs in the graphic/web design Hall of Shame. I'm sure one of those exists somewhere.)
I think we did pretty well.....
These beautiful blue orbs came from Golden Bell Blueberry Farm just east of Cool Springs at the corner of Oxford Glen Dr. & Clovercroft Rd.

Fish Tacos
After eating at one of the best Mexican joints in Memphis, I was inspired to create my own summertime fish tacos.
Fish is a great light entree in the sweltering summer heat.
I mean, who really wants steak and potatoes when they're sitting by the pool?
I bought frozen, wild-caught mahi-mahi from Costco. I don't buy fish that's not wild-caught because of the mercury toxicity, antibiotics, hormones and chemicals from pollution found in farmed fish.
