Track your page progress!

Each year, I set a goal for my scrapbooking. This year, I'm wanting to complete 365 pages, or a page-a-day.  Now, I recognize that I simply won't be able to scrapbook every single day, no matter how much I might want to.  But the number remains the same.....it's fun, right?

Here is a link to the Excel spreadsheet I created to track my progress.  I encourage you to set your own goal and go for it!  If 365 pages seems like too much, simply black out the numbers at the end, but SET A GOAL so you know where you're going!  (If 365 doesn't seem like enough, you're more addicted than I am, but feel free to print the page several times to help you keep track!)

Freezing Mashed Potatoes

Well, they're not exactly mashed, but it's a good start!

And it's so simple, really.

Peel and dice your potatoes.  I usually just make extra when I'm making mashed potatoes for dinner.

Then, give your diced potatoes a nice soak in some cool, salted water (a couple of tablespoons).  Make sure the potatoes are completely covered.  Exposure to air will turn them colors...the salt water prevents that.  Let them soak for about 30 minutes (I let them soak while we eat dinner).

Drain the potatoes and then freeze them in a zipper-seal bag.  Double bag to help prevent freezer burn or leakage.

To prepare them, simply put them into boiling water, FROM FROZEN.  If you thaw them, you'll lose some of the texture and risk them turning brown from air exposure.

A few changes to the calendar

Hello again!

Because of some family commitments that have popped up, I'm changing a few dates.

My March crop will be held on Saturday, March 28 instead of the 21st.  The card class I had scheduled for the 20th, will be moved into April, and we'll be making "Cards for the Men in our Life!"

Hope to see you soon!
