The House on Quail Creek. Living locally and sustainably on a Gainesville budget. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. I am finally using the Freecycle. Community here in Gainesville. I've always been wary of the rash of emails that might appear in my inbox on a daily basis, and I've signed up before but never used the service. But, we recently purchased new curtains for our home (not homemade or repurposed, shame) and need to rid ourselves of the hideous floral vertical blinds that once framed our windows. Before ...

The House on Quail Creek. Living locally and sustainably on a Gainesville budget. Wednesday, August 4, 2010. Living Local: Quick Farmer's Market Meals. I work a 9 to 5 and often do not feel motivated to spend a long time in the kitchen prepping lunch or making dinner after work. It's also been so dang hot and the thought of heating the oven for an hour makes my sweat glands and thermostat go into overload. You'll have some cool sweet goodness to cart along for a mid-morning snack or light lunch. Simple t...

The House on Quail Creek. Living locally and sustainably on a Gainesville budget. Sunday, August 15, 2010. Homemade Habits: Baked Doughnuts. I've been craving sweets and doughnuts this month. I found this recipe. Next time around, I'd like to mix in some whole wheat flour, and instead of dipping them in melted butter and coating them in sugar, I might try filling them with some sort of fruit. I had a ton of dough left over, so I'll probably bake a batch for work tomorrow. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. The be...

Instead, my goal is to stock my cupboard and freezer with higher quality items that offer a similar level of convenience and better taste. Yesterday's experiment was homemade Hotpockets. I used the recipe. Mildred's Big City Food.
