ByStacy (the Random Cool Chick)

I’m recycling this picture from last year for Wordless/Wordful Wednesday since this week I’m posting a series of recipes I make for Thanksgiving each year and thought this would fit in perfectly. Princess Nagger made this Pilgrim hat and collar in Kindergarten last year – this was the day before Thanksgiving when she wore it…

ByStacy (the Random Cool Chick)

I say Po-tay-to, you say Po-tah-to… Is it Dressing, or is it Stuffing?  Usually it’s called ‘dressing’ if it’s served outside the bird, you know, not stuffed.  Which makes stuffing stuffed.  I still call my ‘dressing’ stuffing because more people relate to that, rather than something that ‘dresses’ something else like a condiment or a…

Sassy Homemade Wine – Best Laid Plans Hurry Up and Wait… Vanilla Extract Saves the Day!

ByStacy (the Random Cool Chick)

Mother Nature threw a wrench in my plans of awesomeness this weekend of picking apples and grapes to make wine out of them, as well as putting up my fall decorations. We’re in the ‘Hurry Up and Wait’ mode on the Wine Kits that have been started. Both Wine Kits won’t get racked until this…

Sassy Homemade Wine – Something Different Today – Homemade Kahlua!

ByStacy (the Random Cool Chick)

I know some of you were expecting this week’s post to see the wine kit ‘in action’, but last week was ‘one of those weeks’ and I didn’t get a chance to get that started. But since Hovering Hubby is home today for the holiday, he’s planning to keep the Princess Nagger occupied so I…
