So here is a quick little how-to on adding a link to a blog post.
When writing a blog post you figure out what text you want to make a link,
and then highlight it, then push the link button on your editor.

Mr. Burns and I love Indian food. One of our favorite Indian restaurants, believe it or not, is in the food court of an outlet mall in Auburn, Washington. Not sure if it’s our favorite because of the taste and quality of the food or if it was because we ate there several times […]

Well, Chris and I have been talking tonight about him doing some posts on The Joy of Homemaking. He is always finding great food/homemaking related stories that he wants me to post on this site, and somehow I don’t get around to posting them, even though I would love to! So tonight he asked […]

I had to share this post I read about ways to eat local and still save money.
Though many farmer’s markets now take food stamps, that’s hardly the point: just pricing a pound of sustainably-farmed ground buffalo meat (the best substitute for ground beef at my farmer’s market last weekend), and you’ll know why you […]

Here’s a little comparison-
The egg on the left is a large sized store bought (cage free) eggs. I think ours win, look at the banty’s yoke, it’s so orange! Okay the egg on the left is much bigger, but bigger is not always better. I am looking forward to seeing the other chicken’s eggs. They […]
