In with the New
Dec 4, 2011 General
Obviously it’s not yet January 1st, but we’re getting started with The New a little early around here.
Maybe you’ll forgive me for my long silence when you hear we’ve been moving into a new house.
My new favorite things?
A double oven.
And a dishwasher.
And some new kitchen towels.
Mozely’s favorite thing is pulling the towels off the handles. Funnest. Game. Ever.
Yessssss. It’s all about the new kitchen.
How I lived this long without a dishwasher, I’ll never know. I mean, I know plenty of people throughout the history of time have lived without a dishwasher, but now that my husband and I won’t have to be passive aggressive about who should be doing the dishes next, my life is way better.
My entire existence has been so difficult lately that I’m ready for some relief. Between remodeling, babysitting, working, being sick 3 times, and everything else, I’d say that I wouldn’t immediately recommend packing up all of your crap on top of that. And my, what a lot of crap one has when you start actually examining how many boxes it takes up.
I’m not even going to tell you how many boxes it took to pack up my cookbooks. Eek. And my kitchen. Double eek.
In between all of the madness, I got the sweetest package in the mail from one of my readers and now e-mail buddies.
These pictures do not do them justice. I received them and packed them right before we moved, and then couldn’t find them. I couldn’t find the lens I like (packed away), and then I couldn’t edit the pictures in photoshop (desktop packed away). Uh, did I mention we moved in 2 weeks ago and I still haven’t even started unpacking anything except the kitchen?
Anyway, I love these towels. They are huge, which is so important for kitchen towels, plus they are cotton and they absorb liquid so well. And they are crazy cute. Shar draws these herself and has them printed. I’m afraid to use them too much because all of my towels are nasty stained, but she promises that they wash so easily even if you do wipe up chocolate off of kids faces or try to clean your oven. Ok, so maybe don’t clean your oven with it. She is so reliable and does things right when she says she will so if you want to order some of these from her she will send them to you. If you are in Hawaii or coming to Hawaii she will be selling at the upcoming craft fairs:
Aliiolani Elementary, Saturday Dec. 3rd
Okinawan Center at Waipio, Dec. 7th
Moanalua High School, Dec. 10th
Her too-cute towels were recently featured in the Advertiser as one of the “Things We Love” feature they run on Fridays. I couldn’t agree more.
I’ll be back to posting regularly and I’m excited to be re-energized with writing and blogging because
Seriously, it is like all kinds of Christmas around here. This is so much more exciting to me than Santa. I told my husband I don’t even need any Christmas presents.
(except a kindle. because we have way too many freaking books. I know you agree with me. just give in already. maybe we need 2. oh, and then, naturally, we’ll need to buy some ebooks.)
If you are still wanting to sign up, we have limited spots available, plus we made a few changes and were able to drop the price to $75. I’m also excited about the group that is coming. I think the socializing at lunch might be my favorite part.
Come back around on Tuesday. I’ve got a Lilikoi Bar recipe for you.
Just to keep up our Christmas cheer.
Thanks to Foodiacs, Down to Earth and Mama T, Harvard Common Press, and Mutual Publishing for providing food and giveaways at our upcoming workshop!

It is an enjoyable way to get young children acquainted with the concept of following instructions, a great way to sneak in just a little cooking or chemistry experience without them even being aware that they are learning new abilities.
The set contains all the elements you will need to create plenty of home made gum. The actual formulas included allow you to develop 15 different flavors. If you have a little imagination, and your own flavorings (which you can effortlessly find at the grocery store), you are able to also create one of a kind gums on your own. But what kid is not going to prefer to try some Monster Mastication, Blasting Blueberry Bubbles, Creamy Blue Raspberry, or even Graveyard Gum, just to name a few?
This is very quick to utilize. Three things the user ought to be aware of however.
This set is suited for kids eight and up, so watch the young children in the event that they are going to be assisting. The mixture may be too challenging for these folks to tackle.
You will need to make use of the microwave oven to create the gum base. Most individuals discover that they need to microwave the base for a longer time than the instructions suggest. Place it in the microwave oven in 20 second increments. And reheat the base as needed, it is easier to work with the base when it is hotter and thus more flexible.
Last but not least, the chewing gum may be a little messy to produce (and this is part of the fun)! You may want to make one of the flavors that is not going to need the addition of food coloring for the first portion or two, or omit it from another flavor. When you have got the hang of things, go ahead and add the food coloring back again directly into the mix.
The Ultimate Gum Kit is a great present for virtually any young person.
