Second, to my fabulous family who sent me a Food Saver a few years ago. It makes it SO easy to freeze produce without the burn. Yesterday, I had to go into baking overdrive, and it was nice to dash to the freezer and grab a couple of pumpkin packs. If I haven't given a glowing endorsement to using homemade pumpkin puree over what comes in a can, well, I will soon... cause it's true. Nothing beats homemade. And nothing beats that Food Saver.

Last, but not least, my sister, Leigh, has given me all kinds of fun gadgets for the kitchen - one of those is this super-handy Magic Cup measuring cup. I was making berry-rhubarb pie yesterday, and have I mentioned I'm terrible at making crusts? Well, the handyman said yesterday's was supposedly, "my best crust yet," so maybe I'll keep trying if progress is being made. I quit buying shortening in sticks because there was just so much packaging. Now I get it in the big tub, and it's pretty darn easy to measure with Leigh's Magic Cup which I had never heard about until she tossed it over and said I could keep it. I have a totally awesome big sister.

The Magic Cup is perfect for peanut butter, honey, shortening, butter, molasses, nutella - if it's gooey and you have to measure it, the magic cup works.

Is your magic cup assembled upside down? I think you should be able to read it right-side-up so the gradations run the right way.
Oops. You'd think I'd notice something like that. Maybe that's why that crust worked so well... I need to check how much shortening actually went in there!!!
So why is the handyman examining the tomatoes with his bike helmet on??? Are they dangerous? ;-)
They are totally dangerous secret CIA tomatoes being trained as cucumber assasins. We're shipping them to South America in August to work the Columbian cucumber ring - they've been trying to break it for ages. Helmets are required personal protective equipment around all trainees.
