Hot! Hot! Hot!

... I like it hot, hot, hot! I created a Pinterest Board for all my hot finds! Click Here to check it out &  Follow. I have quickly become a "Pin-addict". I love Pinterest and spend way too much time there!
Here's one of my recent concoctions, I mean recipes I am sharing and adding to my Board.

 

I'm calling it "Maui Ouiweee"  or "Kilauea in a Pineapple Patch" or "Make me Hula" hahaha

Please let me know what your favorite name is and if you try it, please let me know!  I may start working on my 2nd Hot Pepper cookbook.  I write them, do the art work, print them, bind them & give them away, ...who knows maybe one day I'll put one in a shop.

 

2 large Serrano peppers

2 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp citric salt (I didn't have limes but if I did I'd have used 1/2 lime)

1 1/2 tbsp. srirracha

1 can of crushed pineapple

1 cup fresh cherry tomatoes

I used the emersion blender on the peppers, garlic & tomatoes, then mixed into the crushed pineapple with remaining ingredients. It's hard to stop eating it!

 

Just listed some New Holiday Designed Embroidered Coasters in my Shenanagans Shop.  So far these are turning out to be "hot" items! You know I couldn't resist that. haha  

All joking aside I am pleasantly surprised how much people like these.  I have given them as gifts and have sold quite a few sets already. It makes me feel good when people like what I do, I get a little kindred spirit feeling.  I am working on some new cuff bracelets.  I'm such a "Plain Jane" that it's hard for me to go over the top and I've been told I need to go over the top with them! 

I'll post them when they are finished.

Create A Great Day!

 

 

 

 

Not "Boar-ing" & Seriously Silly!

I made something seriously silly while watching the Super Bowl. My son asked me what I was making and I told him clothes for my Tabasco bottle! hahaha His eyes rolled but he wasn't surprised. hahaha If you know me you know how I love hot sauces! This is silly yes, a little cheesy yes, a little retro yes, cute....well... I think it's pretty cute. I had enough white crochet thread to make 2 of them. I never leave sauces out on the counters, I have an entire cabinet dedicated to hot sauces, but this bottle might have to stay on the counter. Actually I'm thinking I might have to make a few more and get every flavor of Tabasco and have a cute little row of Amigos or Banditos, depending on the hotness! haha My kitchen is already a little stranger than most. I have roosters, bees, black bears, copper & wine/grape things in there but somehow it does all come together. I don't see why these won't fit right in! I may leave off the serape, I think they are just as cute w/o it.

My son brought home some wild boar sausage that was given to him by a friend. I cooked it this weekend with some cabbage & onions and boy was it good! They used sweet italian spices in it. We all loved it. My son & I also made some cheese this weekend. With a house full of Foodies it's never "boar-ing" around here. haha. A Big Shout Out goes to Sandy's Cape Cod Originals who included my Christ painting in her wonderful Etsy Treasury! As it turns out you will find some awesome crochet patterns in her Etsy shop. Thank you Sandy!
