Steak, Vegetables, and Japanese EggplantI love to cook but, I dont like to use recipes. I have a knack for mixing and matching different vegetables and ingredients that are in the house. Because I have a rather large organic garden we eat a lot of fresh vegetables and salads daily. This recipe is one that I have thrown together that everyone loves. Hope you enjoy this recipe too.
Orzo Sausage SaladThis is a very quick, easy and inexpensive meal. Orzo is very versatile and you can literally create a meal with anything you have in your fridge.
Flour Flower Mesh CupI wanted to spruce up my plain looking mesh cup so I dipped some foliage from my garden in a flour/water paste to preserve their shape, let them dry, then did a bit of painting and gluing to put this all together.

Cleaning A Hand Held Can OpenerI've always used a hand held can opener. I can always put it away after using and cleaning. I think under the cabinet mounted openers are unsightly. I'm funny that way. (Well, that's one way). And I doubt that most mounted openers get a thorough cleaning after each use.

Craftsman Lawn Mower Won't Start?While cutting our grass, I accidentally put my Craftsman mower (17.5 hp Briggs engine) in reverse. The mower stopped and will not start. The engine turns over 1 time very slowly and then stops. The belts are disengaged, battery is charged, and solenoid is working I guess because the starter gets power to turn.

Fix for Air Duct Condensation?I just moved into a manufactured home, a double wide that is 28 years old. I just replaced the A/C in it and have noticed just a couple of times already that there's moisture coming from the air vents that are closet to the A/C unit. I live in Florida where it is very humid in the summer.
Plastic Bag Damaged Table Finish?I have two tables about 2 years old, both have varnish issues. On my dinner table, I left a plastic bag from a comforter that I bought sitting on top. Then I was out of town for a few weeks and came home to pull the plastic bags off only to have these huge marks in the varnish that I can't wipe away.
