Food & Drink > Baking How yeast makes bread rise

1 of 21

Yeast is more than just an ingredient in bread. It's a living, breathing, eating, reproducing single celled organism and its life cycle is a very important part of making truly perfect bread. Like all living breathing creatures it needs to be loved, fed, and nurtured to fulfill its purpose in this universe and that purpose i... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: My most frightening work experience

1 of 3

It was 1999 and I had just started a brand new job as the assistant manager of a fast food restaurant that was considered to be fast food, but who sold items that were better and healthier than hamburgers and French Fries. This business was also located in an area that was ideal for servicing high school students, working pr... More..

Hobbies & Games > Yarn & Needle Crafts How to get back into the groove of crocheting

3 of 7

I have spent countless hours sitting in the family room with the TV on and yarn and a crochet hook in my hand. I've made several beautiful afghans and tried several times to make beautiful sweaters as well (no luck in that department unless sleeves of different lengths become fashionable). I have a powerful need to fairly br... More..

Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: ADHD

1 of 1

I knew there was something wrong with my step son. My new husband insisted the problem was mine and that I needed to learn to be more patient but I knew he was wrong. It was not normal to have to drag a 5 year old boy kicking and screaming across the house 5 times to make him hang up his clothes or to listen to him scream at... More..

Food & Drink > Tea How to brew tea

6 of 9

I am southern and I was raised on sugar sweetened iced tea. It's a southern Eastern United States tradition. Iced tea is cheap and easy to make. It's so cheap and easy that several gallons of it can be brewed at once. I drink so much of it that I keep a gallon in the refrigerator at all times and I usually go through it in a... More..

Home & Garden > Home & Garden (Other) Hearths: A fireplace hearth is the heart of the home

6 of 9

Nothing makes a room quiet like a fireplace hearth and it's my personal belief that no home is truly a home unless it has one. I has lost count of the wonderful winters days and night I have spent snuggled up in front of a crackling, wood burning hearth sipping a cup of what ever I had brewing in the crock pot all day while ...

Home & Garden > Home & Garden (Other) Automatic pool cleaners: Robotic pool cleaners take the work out of summer

2 of 3

I was visiting a friend of mine who had a swimming pool the first time I saw an automatic pool cleaner. I dove into her pool after a long hot day of helping her in the yard and encountered a device that looked something like a vacuum cleaner slowly scooting around the bottom of the pool. It seemed to move at random but did k... More..

Home & Garden > Vegetables & Herbs Herbs: Growing tips and uses

10 of 13

Did you know you can mix your culinary herbs in with your regular flower beds? I currently have chives growing next to crystal blush calla lilies, bright green basil growing next to lamb's ear, chives growing in my rock garden, and oregano planted in between yarrow and day lilies. I even have a strawberry bed in which the st... More..

Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Dog breed facts: Great Pyrenees

5 of 5

Seven years ago my husband and I decided it was time to get a family dog. At the time we lived in a very nice gated community and had a very large home so the size of the animal was not really an issue. My husband suggested a great White Pyrenees. The only thing I knew about the dogs at the time was that they were large and ... More..

Home & Garden > Perennials Grow roses by rooting free cuttings for fun and profit

2 of 2

Roses are beautiful and smell wonderful and a favorite of just about every Gardner in the world. Unfortunately the good ones are not always cheap. Way back when I first moved into my new home and my budget was limited I decided I wanted roses in my garden but I didn't have the money to buy them. What I did have though was a ... More..
