Oh hey, guys! The Novice Gardener is back! Whoooo???? It's me. I'm The Novice Gardener, aka Angie, aka Fiesta Friday. I'm just completely obsessed with the garden right now. So I might as well refer to myself by my old nickname. Though I have to say I can easily go by The Frustrated Gardener at the moment. There's a resident bunny family in my backyard and I think mommy bunny must have just had her second litter of the season, judging by the different sizes of kits I see running around. They ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #440
Grilled corn is a summer ritual! That's my proclamation of the day. It probably is for most people anyway. If not, it ought to be. Coz who can resist this, seriously?! Grill the corn on high heat for 15 minutes, turning often, until charred and blistered here and there. Then slather with butter while still hot. There's no need to melt the butter.

With help from ... continue reading...

So, the elderflower champagne experiment was a bust, unfortunately. And I spent SO. MUCH. TIME! I trimmed off every little stem from the blossoms since the green parts are reportedly toxic. That alone took me a couple of hours! Pretty much my whole afternoon was spent making the elderflower concoction. It was supposed to ferment into a fizzy "champagne" by day 4.

Fiesta Friday #437
School is out, finally! Hurray, hurray! So now, what?! The first day I don’t have to go to work and I’m not sure what to do. Too many choices! I’ve never been a decisive decider. Sleep. That’s the first order of business. Everything will become clearer after a good, sound sleep. So I’m just going to tell myself to go back to bed now to extend my sleep. Or maybe take a lengthy siesta later. That sounds too luxurious, seriously. Pretty sure it violates some kind of rules. Maybe I need to go ... continue reading...
