Olio!: Velvety Carrot Soup
http://olie-oh.blogspot.com/2014/08/velvety-carrot-soup.html
Friday, August 1, 2014. I just had to share this recipe. After a week of vacation indulgences and scorching summer heat, I wanted something light, fresh and cleansing, without turning on any heat elements in the kitchen. I had pinned a Quick and Easy Carrot Soup. Recipe earlier this week and thought it fit the bill. It is vegan, raw and HEAVENLY! I took liberties and renamed it because Quick and Easy Carrot Soup is not a sensuous enough title for this show-stopper and crazy-good soup. 1 clove of garlic.

Friday, September 26, 2014. DIY Back Rests for Lounging Outdoors. Confession. I actually used the butterscotch colored cushions from my kitchen chairs. I know they are comfy with the added bonus of being washable! My TrueLove reminded me that we had to cut plywood to size at his brother's workshop with the skill saw and goggles. It is simple if you are experienced. If not, have a pro do it for you. The rest of the steps are easy and fun! 1) (2) 18"x24" pieces of plywood per chair about 1/2" to 1" thick.

Baking with Honey |
http://comfybelly.com/2010/05/measuring-honey
May 22, 2010. If you want to measure exactly how much honey you are adding to a recipe, here is a neat trick. Add a drop or two of oil to a measuring cup. Spread it around the cup with your finger or a paper towel so that entire inside of the cup is covered with the oil. Now the honey will effortlessly glide out of the cup. This will work for measuring maple syrup, agave, and other viscous liquids. To read more interesting stuff about honey, go to Honey.com. Also, Dr. Andew Weil has a post about honey.
