Hello, everybody! Mary Jane here and I'm hiding in the Umatilla National Forest at the moment. Why? Well, look at this heat! My poor little dude in the reflection was trying to be happy about heading to the library for "slime night" but his red and sweaty face convinced me it was time to get out of Dodge!
But before we did, we made some delicious chillers to cool down... And they were needed because my son was raising money for Scout Camp.
That included splitting wood and offering them with fire starters for $3. Great price because the wood was donated to him!
The same person donated a lot of hen and chicks in flats, saying "if you can sell them, they're all yours". Of course we can! We hit the thrift stores and the cabinets for cute containers...
I loved this little pail! We have so many craft supplies, we just added cute beads and rocks and such.
And for the 4th of July, we made red, white, and blue!
Aren't these cute? Perfect for those BBQ cook outs!
A friend donated a bunch of leftover wedding supplies. Aren't these cute!
We sold almost everything we made, and all the firewood. Success! He made his goal for camp, AND enough for hiking boots and some other camping essentials. He mowed lawns for $10 ($5 for elderly, veterans and handicapped) and we met some very lovely people in our small town.
We did learn not to offer delivery. :) My suburban has a turning radius of 80 feet, it seems, and I tend to hit curbs. Lesson learned!
OK, on to the recipe! Add two cups of slivered almonds and 4 cups of water in the blender.
Pour over a tea towel. Let it drain, squeeze if necessary.
It doesn't look like much, but with a 1.2 tsp of vanilla and some honey...
Ta-dah! Almond milk with frozen mango slices, a little vanilla and honey to taste. I liked mine with mint. SO refreshing!
Ok, I hope everyone is staying cool! Until next time!
