Daiquiris

This is a (slightly edited) repost from our old blog from February 2009 (hence the really bad pictures):

Menu Board

Have you ever been stuck in a dinner rut?  When this happened to us, we got into a bad habit of "I don't know what do you want for dinner" before giving up and going out to eat.  Eventually, that had to stop.  We started looking at our recipe books and picking out things we'd like to try and nailing down the week's menu before going shopping.  This turned out lots better than wandering around the store hoping dinner inspiration would magically appear.  To help us with our planning, I made this wipe off menu board.  I first saw one at a friend's house and she, of course, found it on Pinterest.  It's super easy and super helpful!

Three Row Reversible Japanese Lace Bracelet

Here's my first try at Japanese lace.  It's a pretty simple weave and looks great in bright colors.  I first saw the two row version in a book, but decided I liked the three-row variation better.

You can "regrow" green onions?

While browsing the gardening pins on Pinterest, I came across one that claimed you could plant the typically unused white root part of a green onion and it would regrow.  At the time this sounded ridiculous because I'd never thought about doing anything other than throwing it in the compost bin; now I'm embarrassed I even had that thought.
