My newest obsession

I asked for this book for Christmas and when I got it I was super disappointed that all of the recipes were for ice cream machines. I put the book away for months because I was mad I couldn't use it. Luckily I also received a gift card for Home Outfitters and after 5 months it hit me, buy a ice cream maker. So I used my GC and bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker. The difference in the quality is amazing and knowing everything that is in it feels good too. I bought $6 worth of ingredients and the rest was just stuff I had around the house and it made 3 quarts of ice cream. A big savings in my book. The book is jenis splendid ice creams at home by by Jeni Britton Bauer and the Cuisinart ice cream maker was obviously from Home Outfitters and was $69.99.

Grow your own green onions with just water

I had to try it for myself. I kept seeing these posted on pinterest and wondered if there was much truth to it. I used the ends of 6 green onions that were going in the trash regardless and cut them about two inches from the root. This picture is a weeks worth of growth. I'm never buying green onions again! **Update**  This updated photo is 24 hours of growth, we have been doing this for a while now and it still amazes me. It is about half an inch in just 24 hours!
