The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway

How to Make and Freeze Homemade Chicken Stock into Concentrated Cubes

I always freeze stock but hadn't thought of ice cubes trays. This is a good idea because I can just defrost as much as I want to instead of defrosting it all.

The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway

I've started this book recently and liked what I read but then moved to other books. I may have read it in the past, though, because I did go through a Hemingway phase. I'll go back to it :) I'd like to see the films, too!!

Delicious Savory Melon and Fig Salad

Rushbearing at Grasmere in the English Lake District

Good morning Shraddha I think that this custom tends to be in North West England and was maybe hijacked from an old Celtic festival. You are right that the use of reeds and rushes gives it a lovely, natural aspect. You use the word enchanting ...

The Many Tones and Undertones of Color Pink

There is so much to the colors, that's why we pick up certain colours for events. Pink is a soothing colour, I especially like pink colored fabric and pink gemstones.

Rushbearing at Grasmere in the English Lake District

I haven't got to see rushes inside the Church, perhaps it is because the old traditions are maintained in the original locations. It definitely gives the Church a rustic and enchanting look. The decorations with rushes look livelier and ...

Eating Your Pumpkin Jack O’ Lantern

I can see why pumpkin features in Fall festivals. Perhaps it's abundant presence has made it the key ingredient of Halloween festival. You can easily carve pumpkin, paint and draw pumpkin. If you can't do any of these things, you at least get to ...
