I feel like my first work day after the time change was very productive!  We've been out of jelly for a month or more, and I've got juice in the freezer from Sand Plums, Grapes & Peaches, so there's no excuse not to have any jelly.  So, I thawed out some sand plum juice and made 2 batches of Sand Plum Jelly, yummy!!  I had a couple pieces of toast so I could try it out... it passed.

Then, I made a batch of Lavender Mint Soap.  I was going to make Country Lavender, because I'm running low on that kind, but it's getting close to Christmas, so I added some peppermint and spearmint essential oils to make it a little Christmasy.  It smells wonderful!

Ladies, I have a question.  What do you do about leftovers?  Here's my dilemma - I prepare nice dinners throughout the week, then on an extremely busy day, like today was, I will heat up all of the leftovers and that will be our dinner for the night.  Now, the reason I'm asking about this is because my husband just seems so put out when I serve leftovers (which happens once every week or two).  Last night, instead of eating the leftovers, which consisted of Meatloaf topped with Mashed Potatoes & Cheese; Beef Stroganoff made with real Roast; and Spaghetti - my husband ordered 2 pizzas from our local gas station/pizza place.  I just hate to throw leftovers out, and I don't eat meat, so I won't eat them (I do however, eat my leftover meals which have no meat {no it's not religious or animal rights, I just don't care for meat}).  What would you do in this situation?  Throw all leftovers out / Heat them up and serve them anyway / or what?  I need advice.

Country Blessings,
Jamie
