I’ve gotten my free coffee at McDonalds twice now. It’s fun to just ask for free coffee and get it. It’s best to use the drive thru if you have no will power otherwise you end up with fries too..
Nine ways to use sawdust in your garden – Thriftyfun
When used properly it can actually support the growth of your plants by helping to improve your soil. Sawdust can also be used to store crops, repel pests, deter weeds, and is handy for cleaning up accidental spills.
- Amend Your Soil: Add small amounts of sawdust to your soil to increase organic matter and improve its texture. Because sawdust is very slow to decompose, it works especially well in moist, heavy soils like clay, where soil amendments tend to break down quickly.
- Compost It: For composting purposes, sawdust is considered a “brown” (carbon) material, which can be added in alternating layers to balance out the “green” (nitrogen) materials like grass clipping and food scraps. Sawdust also acts as a bulking agent, allowing air into the pile. It takes approximately a year to transform raw sawdust into finished compost.
- Discourage Weeds: Not many gardeners know this, but sawdust (especially from hardwoods like walnut trees) is a natural weed killer. Sweep it between the cracks and crevices of concrete sidewalks and in between stepping stones to help prevent weeds from popping through.

Seems like a good time to run to Safeway and pick up two pineapples. One for grilling and one for Pineapple upside down cake.
Tip: when making an upside down cake, use the pineapple juice instead of water in the cake mix.
I love grilled pineapple rings. So good with ham.
Creme Brulee – Super Easy
Creme Brulee
1/2 vanilla bean, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces (or 1 tsp. vanilla extract)
2 T. sugar
1 C. heavy cream
1 C. half-and-half
3 egg yolks
1 egg
1/4 C. sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pulverize vanilla bean and 2 T. sugar in a coffee grinder. (If using vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean, skip this step). Warm the cream, half-and-half and vanilla sugar (or extract and the 2 T. sugar) in a saucepan over medium heat just until it almost boils, then remove from heat. Whisk egg yolks, egg, 1/4 C. sugar in a mixing bowl for 3-4 minutes till they become sunny yellow. Slowly whisk hot cream mixture into eggs to temper. Strain the egg mixture into a measuring cup with a pour spout and divide among the six ramekins. Arrange dishes in a rimmed baking pan. Add enough hot water to the pan to come up half way on the sides of the ramekins. Bake until set, 35-45 minutes; don’t overcook or let brown. Remove ramekins from the baking pan and cool. Sprinkle 1 T. superfine sugar on the top of each ramekin, and using a kitchen torch, melt the sugar until it turns a light golden brown. Let the brulees sit for a few minutes so the topping hardens. – Makes six 4-oz brulees.
*Disclaimer: I don’t own a kitchen torch (yet) so I had to use my husband’s shop torch which just about blew the sugar off before it could melt. Your brulees should look much prettier than the one I pictured.
Groupon $20 General Mills sampler pack
Groupon is offering a $20 General Mills Sampler pack. It says sampler but it appears all the products are regular size. As a couponer I could get all of these items for less than $20, but no clipping involved and even if you won’t eat these products it would make a nice donation to a food bank..
