Homemade Firestarters

by Karen on January 24, 2012

I love Jennifer.  I love her with all my heart and a tiny portion of my pancreas. Jennifer is an Art of Doing Stuff reader that brought homemade firestarters to my attention.  You may have seen them before.  I sure hadn’t.  I was familiar with store bought firestarters and pinecones dipped in wax which were [...]

A Pretty Pencil Holder

by Karen on January 23, 2012

I need to warn you all of 2 things. One … this is going to be a short post. Two … I didn’t invent this idea, I saw it on the show “House”. Also there’s going to be the opportunity to see a dink at the end of this post. So I guess technically, that [...]

Throw Away 50 Things.
You Did It!

by Karen on January 22, 2012

Last week I issued a bit of a command.  A challenge really.  I mildly suggested you might benefit mentally from chucking a few things. 50 things to be precise.  And chuck you did.  Chuck, chuck, chuck.   All around the world people were chucking stuff in a mad frenzy to regain control of their lives.

5 Books I’ve Read plus 5 Books I’m gonna Read.

by Karen on January 18, 2012

Hold on a second.  I absolutely cannot relax in unnatural fibres.  Hold on. long pauseeeeeeeeeeeeee O.K.  I just changed my sweater.  Holy crap, I haven’t worn acrylic since 1982.  I think it’s quite possible the sun is made entirely out of acrylic.  If I’m hot I can’t relax, and if I can’t relax I can’t [...]

How to Make Pizza Dough.
Jeff Crump from Earth to Table’s Recipe

by Karen on January 17, 2012

The very first thing I ever learned to cook was pizza.  I started around grade 8 and spent the next 472 years trying to perfect it.  I’m about halfway there. The first big breakthrough I had was a couple of years ago when I started to BBQ my pizza.  Up until then I’d tried everything [...]

Make Your Own Pizza Sauce!
No, no … keep reading … it’s really easy!

by Karen on January 16, 2012
