What did you do in the garden today?

Recipe?

Not the healthiest I'm sure, but I can't drink the stuff you buy in the store. Makes me feel crummy, so I make this:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4-5 Tbsp pumpkin puree
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 cups half n half
Glug of vanilla
Pinch cinnamon.
Shake well, store in fridge. It's yummy and uses the little bit of puree I always have left after making my muffins.

I was about to ask for the recipe myself. Yummy. I have to get it wrote down.

I make lemon cleaning spray with the left over rinds. Put them in a quart canning jar, add vinegar and let sit with a lid on for 4 weeks. Smells great and no yucky chemicals

I read an article about natural cleaning hacks and found a great one. Peel oranges and put in a pot, add just enough white vinegar to cover the peeling. Boil for 10 -15 minutes. Allow to cool then strain it into a spray bottle and put the used peel in the compost pile. Store in a cool dark spot. It deodorizes your house and it's safe to use on all surfaces. If you have granite or any other more sensitive surfaces just dilute it with water. The oils in the peel help protect from dust. You can use any type of citrus fruit you choose.

Sometime in the next week, I have to cut/pull up the asparagus fronds. I plan to burn them in the burn barrel.

Zest the lemons, peel lemons, seed lemons, puree pulp, juice and zest and freeze dry, then powder and store

Interesting... I get FD lemon zest... But how do you use powdered lemon juice?

What is a glug of vanilla?

I tried to make a sugar cookie coffee creamer last weekend with sweetened condensed milk. It disgusting... Probably going to dump it out. Such a waste....

How DON"T I use powdered lemon. I put it in cookies, muffins, cakes, tea, ice tea, water, sprinkle it on roast chicken, on fish, veggies, OOOO corn on the cob with butter..... anywhere you'd use lemon

I made some homemade lemonade this evening... I drink a lot of lemonade, but I really want to do something more with some of the lemons. I'm thinking of some lemon-blueberry muffins maybe.

I made a lemon meringue pie today, and I was lucky enough to have a little juice leftover for me to have a glass of lemonade too. A taste of summer with the snow flying here still.

Just a small pour! Did you also use half n half in yours? I usually don't put any sugar in my coffee at all, so when I make this creamer it's sweet for me, but not to sweet with the half n half.
