I think I’ve been in the kitchen all day… And I’m worn out but look what I made!🍞

I added cranberries to my walnut and banana multigrain muffins this time and Mawmaw Mamie’s yeast rolls came out higher than I have ever made them! I think she would be proud of me ♥️

Seriously, you really need to make her yeast rolls 🍞 Let me know if you want either recipe !🥰

Many years ago, my grandmother, Mamie Jourdan, taught me how to make her wonderful yeast rolls. I wrote her recipe on a little index card. Somewhere along the way, I lost that card—but I never forgot her rolls and how much we all loved them.
Over the years, I have tried many recipes that I have found in books and on the Internet. But sadly, none ever had the flavor and texture of my grandma‘s.
Yesterday, I finally found that old, faded index card! ♥️ It brought back memories of sitting at her kitchen table, listening to her tell me how to make those delicious rolls. Without hesitating, I took out all the ingredients and made her rolls. And they were exactly how I remembered them!! ♥️ I will never, ever search for another yeast roll recipe. I hope you will try this one. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

I thought there was a piece of wood on top of my hot house table. Turns out to be a huge moth and one that I’ve never seen before. Have you ever seen one like this?

It’s getting really close to time to harvest our persimmons! The tree is loaded this year and it appears that our huge cage that we build around it is keeping the squirrels away!

Frogs… toads… sometimes I don’t know the difference 🐸. But I do know that they are sooooo cute. This little buddy hangs out on our door to greet us each evening.

What should we name him?

I planted some Ponderosa seeds late last spring, and look at them now!
Something interesting to know is the Ponderosa lemon is not a true lemon but is
generally described botanically as a hybrid of a citron and a lemon. You can use them exactly the same way you would use lemon. They can get huge and have thick skin and lots of seeds. They can get up to 5 pounds in weight!!
