Soothing Tea...Crispin Apple....Heavenly!

Yesterday...

After I had done the grocery shopping...{having dinner guests on Saturday evening}

Did a couple of loads of laundry....emptied the dishwasher....blah blah blah...

You know....a normal average day...

The house was empty....

Soooooo....

I made myself a big mug of Apple-Cinnamon Tea...

Sliced up a rosy....crispy... juicy... Crispin Apple...

And went upstairs....to check out my favorite blogs...

When I got comfy...

I noticed....something....

The acorns I had picked up.... weeks ago on a walk...

Were still on my desk...right where I left them...stacked in an old "shoe"...

Sitting beside Mr. Beaver.....

And the "caps" that had fallen off....were on top of one of my glass candles...

And...

My mug..

Had Acorns on it...and an Autumnal feel...

As did my rosy....yellow... Crispin Apple..

And....

The Orange detail on my wee pyrex bowl....

And.....

For a few seconds....I was lost in the cinnamony aroma of the tea...

And the crispy fresh smell of my apple...

And I thought...

This is awesome!!!

How relaxing and calming is this!!! 

So....

I gobbled down my apple....and slurped back my cup of tea...

And...

Of course....was forced to take a few pics....as my camera is always at hand...♥

                                               *******

Hope you are all having a great day....

Miss V is "trying" to nap...tee hee hee...

And.....my boyfriend has gone to pick up our new vehicle...:o)

Chilly today...sun comes and goes...hardly any leaves left on the trees...

'Cause...they are all in the driveway!!

                                                *******

Thanks for all your kind comments on my new header...

We all know how challenging this can be....♥

                                                 *******

On the menu this fine Thursday evening...

      A favorite...Pepper steak...with green peppers, green onions, and cherry tomatoes...

              Served over No- Yolk noodles....YUMMY!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                                  Cheers!   :o)

How To Turn This....Into This!!

 

Do you all remember this basket of sweet...

Juicy...

Furry...

Aromatic peaches..

That I bought..

Back...

A week or so??

Well...

I finally turned them from this....

                I recycled these 2 pics of the juicy peaches from last year...

Don't they look awesome!!!For full details put peach jam into search box..

Are those apple in the background??? Why...yes...I do believe they are...Guess they will have to be made into an Apple Pie Bread next week....tee hee hee....

Into this!!!!

So easy....

Score the peaches on one end...

Drop into boiling water for 1 minute...

Into a bowl of ice water for 1 minute...

The peel slides right off...

I chopped them in my handy-dandy vintage egg chopper...

Add sugar...

I put some cinnamon in...

Add Freezer Jam mix...

Stir...

And.......VOILA!!! 

JAM!!!

I also added some strawberries to the second batch, to bring the fruit up to 4 cups.... 

Use any old jars that you have...

Pop into the freezer...and...you...are...done!!

Lasts for 1 year in the freezer!!!

And....I am down to my last jar from last year...

Perfect timing!!!

I used one basket of peaches...about 12...and one container of fresh berries...

After I cleaned up that mess...ha!

I got together the fixins' for a Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake...

Also pretty darn easy, once you get everything assembled...

And..

It turned out...

Scrumptuous!!!

I do believe it is the grated lemon rind that gives it unique and zesty flavour...

You can find that recipe by putting the name of the cake in my search box.... 

Hope you are having a great day!

Another beautiful one here...

My boyfriend is feeling better...and now I have  a scratchy throat...:o(

But........you can't keep us down....must...go...to...cottage...

Tomorrow....that is!!!

On the menu tonight...

               We're going to Turtle Jacks for burgers...

               They make an awesome avacado chipotle burger...

                          AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!


Enjoy the rest of your day and evening...

                               Cheers!  :o)
