BEDA #7 getting ready for school to start

First,  about subscriptions and following,  I put the subscription gadget back on the sidebar.  I don’t know how it works and I have no control over it.  
Maybe one of you who isn’t subscribed can try it out and let me know if it worked.  

About counts and page views,  I’m not concerned about my numbers.  This blog is not monetized.
I blog to be in contact with other homemakers and it’s also serves as diary for me.  Sometimes I go back and look at my old posts.  I always see things I don’t remember and it’s nice to see them again.  

On to homemaking things……
These pencils are my daughter’s project.  
At the boy’s elementary, it’s a tradition for every classroom to have a personalized pencil around their door. 
This year, there are 4 new teachers so they all needed a new pencil.  They are about 3 feet long.  
She painted them and the letters are cut from scrapbook paper and everything was sealed with Mod Podge.  

The kids and both parents will all pack lunches. 
I baked some fund-raiser cookie dough today.
Some was left out for eating today and the rest was packed in small bags and froze. 

Later when I had helpers,  we made homemade uncrustable type peanut butter sandwiches.  
That’s Elizabeth, I’m sure long time readers will be surprised how grown up she looks.  She’s 12. 
  
Now the cookies and sandwiches are waiting in the freezer.  
There will be lots more lunch ingredients needed but I’m happy there is a start.  

US School lunches were free pretty much since the start of the pandemic but they aren’t free now except for some income groups.

BEDA #6 Saturday supper for 9


Hello everyone 
supper tonight was a joint effort
My husband smoked a pork shoulder bought by my son in law 
Yes, the rolls got too brown but they still tasted good 


Sides were a relish plate, fresh salsa made with tomatoes from the backyard, onion dip and my daughter made the Rotel dip- which is velveeta cheese melted with canned tomatoes with green chilis.  



Dessert was Girl Scout cookies and frozen peaches.  





There were a few peaches left so we tried this Pampered Chef gadget, a Quicksicle, that belongs to my daughter.  

I blended peaches with a little vanilla yogurt.  The liquid is poured into the chilled base and it freezes in about 8 minutes.  

The Quicksicles were a big hit and I expect now that we know how to use it,  we will be using it often.  
Did I mention it’s still really hot here 🥵


I’m enjoying all your comments. 
I don’t know about subscriptions but I’ll look into it.  Blogging was a lot simpler before Blogspot changed so many things.
