Those AAAAh Moments

We all have those moments when we read things and think Wow! Why haven't I seen this before? Or why didn't I think of that? These are my Aaah Posts that I have read in the last weeks......

The Country Blossom's Laundry Basket Dresser. Where was this when I had a house full of kids?  Each kid a basket would have been wonderful !

Honeysuckle Jelly ? Remember as a kid picking honeysuckle flowers off those country fences  and sucking out that sweet nectar. That just says country and summer. I haven't seen a honeysuckle vine since I left the south. Does honeysuckle grow in the midwest ? Whoever came up with this is a genius !!

And leave it to Tipper at The Blind Pig to remind me of  Fermenting Kraut in a jar . Like tipper's Granny my mother in law always made kraut this way and I have always wanted to try it. Think I'll take that cabbage out there in the garden and give this a whirl .....

And last but not least my last Aaah moment comes from a reader. Joanna wrote this about my complaint of steaming leaves for cabbage to make cabbage rolls.

" Freeze the head of cabbage first and then thaw. The leaves will come off nice, soft, and ready to roll! Or chop and make a casserole. Regardless, you can't go wrong with stuffed cabbage!!"

Now why didn't I think of that? Joanna you are a genius.

Maybe I'll start doing these Aaaah Moments post every week and share them. Feel free to add any that you find!
