I’m making several dozen party size pepperoni rolls this morning for an order that is for a wedding. They’ll be going in goodie bags. I’ve never seen goodie bags at a wedding before. You? Nobody ever gave me pepperoni rolls at a wedding. (Hmmph.) I’ve seen sweet potatoes at a funeral but not pepperoni rolls at a wedding!
But– You know it’s a wedding in West Virginia if they’re handing out pepperoni rolls!
Just something I felt like baking today. I’m obsessed with food.
My Etsy baking days are Mondays through Thursday (for priority mail shipping). I’m off over the weekends–and still bake! Because I love to bake. Baking is so creative. Even if you’ve made something a thousand times, every loaf–or cookie or biscuit or scone–is unique and hand-crafted. Seeing something beautiful come out of the oven (or out of the can in which it was steamed in this case) is so satisfying.

March 27, 2018 - Easter Imaginings
I’m baking a really large order today for somebody–a dozen brown sugar and cinnamon croissants, a dozen chocolate croissants, a dozen butterhorn rolls, a loaf of bread, three dozen cookies, and two dozen cinnamon rolls.
When I ship a large order, sometimes I imagine it arriving at their house. How much family is coming in? Do they sneak the boxes in the house and … Continued…
March 25, 2018 - Miniature Food
The longer I have my Etsy shop (going on a year and a half now) the more I understand and learn about what people want and how they want it. This comprehension is based on what they order the most, as well as what they message me asking for the most. New listings often come from requests in messages from people looking for something I’m … Continued…
March 16, 2018 - Baby Belle
Baby Belle was born in December. She’s Glory Bee’s fourth calf. I’m milking Glory Bee these days, which means Baby Belle goes to lockup in the evening-time. Here she is in her little pen–with hay, water, and a handful of sweet feed to keep her sweet, ready for mommy to get off work in the morning.
We had trouble deciding on a name for her. … Continued…
March 11, 2018 - Early Start to Egg Season
Chicken, working.
Spring seems to be coming early here in West Virginia. The daffodils started blooming in February. It’s like the springs I remember in Texas! I’ll be planting my garden soon! Okay, maybe not, but still. We haven’t had a real snow here since January. Very strange. The chickens are laying like gangbusters. It’s egg season!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

It seems that every generation has something on which either the past generations or the future generations has an opinion, I don't think most of us take them seriously, it is just something to talk about especially those in my age group, we have seen several generations pass and the world is still spinning, I enjoyed your post, it is good that we can laugh a bit at some of the things around us and as we age at ourselves. 
I love you "new" dishes. I am a blue and white dish person as well. I have collected Blue Willow for 60 plus years and also have the Brook Blue pattern and we use it every day, China was meant to be used. I remember when corelle fist came on the market, it was so popular, one reason it seemed like families were largerback then and there were no dish washers except us kids and we broke our share of dishes. Blue and white dishes set a pretty country table, they always look so fresh and pretty.
