Homemade (turkey) breakfast sausage using Penzey’s Breakfast Sausage seasoning and some extra sage:
And my first attempt at (self-named) Malted Wheatcakes. They were good, but not great. I will continue tweaking because I think, in the end, it will be worth it. They were yummy with tupelo honey.
We’ve managed to eat in pretty much all week. Nothing terribly exotic, mind you, but here is a catch-up posting for the week:
Saturday: We marinated a batch of chicken drumsticks in sundried tomato vinaigrette and Jon grilled them outside along with ears of (really) fresh sweet corn. Salad rounded it all out.
Sunday: Had a long day in the yard, at the movies and doing errands. Out for pizza!
Monday: Turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes, steamed sugar snap peas
Tuesday: Chicken-Feta Tabbouleh, fruit salad, green beans sauteed with shallots and pecans
Wednesday: Jon’s Chicken Gumbo, fruit salad, crackers
Thursday: Jon’s out at Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours, so I’ll probably do pancakes and turkey sausage for me and the kidlet
Friday: Chicken Stir-fry is planned….with steamed brown rice
Saturday: If the weather holds, we’re going to smoke/grill some salmon. I’ll probably toss on a packet of potatoes, Vidalia onions and LOTS of garlic and rosemary.

This year for Mother’s Day I gave Crystal Nail Files with Polymer Clay Handles to my mom, my mom-in-law, and my grandma-in-law. They were a big hit and I look forward to making more!
From left to right, the techniques used are mokume gane, faux ivory, and mica shift.
