Over the entire year I have averaged 15 blog posts per month, but since I upped my game in June. I've been averaging 22 posts per month. So awesome and very proud of myself. Thanks for being on this ride with me. It really is a lot of fun! I was t...

Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. Today marks the 700th post on the blog. I love celebrating these milestones. Sometimes I just can't believe the number is so high. It also makes me think about the coming years on the blog. I wonder if I will blog all the way to 1000? Posted by Jen B. On Monday, August 31, 2015. Our favourite Chinese buffet is Mandarin. I had never tried it before, and it was surprisingly good. Posted by Jen B. On Friday, August 28, 2015. Posted by Jen B. Has been a...

A Lesson in Perseverance ~ My Adorable Small Town Life
http://www.myadorablesmalltownlife.com/2010/03/lesson-in-perseverance.html
Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. A Lesson in Perseverance. About a year ago my parents moved from the family home they had lived in for over 32 years. It was a two month process of organizing, sorting, and getting rid of all the junk that had accumulated over all those years of living in one spot. The easiest day during the whole process was moving day, though it was not without its hiccups. My mother's Christmas Cactus. And I called Mom to let her know the good news. This winter i...

The Amazing I Cord ~ My Adorable Small Town Life
http://www.myadorablesmalltownlife.com/2015/08/the-amazing-i-cord.html
Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. The Amazing I Cord. I have a pair of shorts that go on super loose and then are tied to fasten them. It works fine most of the time but is total bullshit if the cloth tie breaks (which mine did). Without the tie you are left with a pair of shorts that are about ten sizes too big, which are only good for keeping your ankles warm. I was thinking of what I could use as a replacement tie, and my knitters brain asked: "Would an I cord work? Weve added go...

Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. I bought mayo a few weeks ago and it was shrink wrapped with a package of vegetable soup mix. The mayo was already on sale ($2.99) and the soup mix is normally $1.50 or so, so it was a surprise deal. And also a welcome suggestion: make some dip! All you need for this dip:. 1 container sour cream (500ml). 1 package vegetable soup mix. Mix all together and wait a few hours for the vegetables to hydrate and the flavours to sink in. Enjoy! Holy crap I h...

Experimenting with Sushi ~ My Adorable Small Town Life
http://www.myadorablesmalltownlife.com/2012/04/experimenting-with-sushi.html
Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. In my sushi making experience, I've made and consumed many California rolls ( and posted about them here. I recently became obsessed with spicy sauce. And all the joyous possibilities associated with making spicy sushi maki. At home. I have been collecting ingredients over the past few weeks and yesterday it was finally Sushi Fun Day for me. My morning started with how to. Videos on YouTube, as I was experimenting with hand rolls. And If That Wasn't...

http://www.myadorablesmalltownlife.com/2010/05/2dpn6.html
Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. I got my dice home and realized I needed a dice bag. Thanks to my new addiction to Ravelry. And all the geeky patterns within, I quickly found at least ten dice bag patterns. To choose from. Only problem - they all involved double pointed needles. I just have to keep in mind that trying something new is amazing in itself and if at first I don’t succeed, I can try, try, again. This is wrong somehow. Advice, I put a stitch marker on my first needle, s...

Steak on the BBQ #FoodPicFriday ~ My Adorable Small Town Life
http://www.myadorablesmalltownlife.com/2015/07/steak-on-bbq-foodpicfriday.html
Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. Steak on the BBQ #FoodPicFriday. The price of beef has been too expensive lately, so we've haven't been buying or eating it. There was a recent steak sale, which wasn't that great of a deal, but with BBQ season here we were all craving a nice steak. Beef is just a once in a while kind of meat now, but we really enjoyed having these. Tastes like summer. Posted by Jen B. On Friday, July 31, 2015. July 31, 2015 at 12:06 PM. And now Im feeling hungry!

Almost Want To Make These Daily... ~ My Adorable Small Town Life

Awesome of the Week. Everything is a Photo Opportunity. Almost Want To Make These Daily. These are my new favourite cupcakes; chocolate small batch cupcakes from Celebrating Sweets. They are so easy and six is the perfect number of cupcakes to have when I'm craving them. The first time I tried these I topped them with strawberry buttercream. This time out I made some vanilla buttercream and they tasted so good. Love chocolate and the sweet vanilla together. Posted by Jen B. On Monday, August 10, 2015.
