November Secret Ingredient: Horseradish!
Spice up November with honey horseradish chicken and asparagus, quick refrigerator horseradish pickles , or bring some horseradish deviled eggs to Thanksgiving!

Seriously, though, I’m excited to use horseradish in a non-dessert food, LOL!

Project Name & Page Link: Saxophone Mask
Brief Description: I modified Magpie’s darted front mask pattern to come up with something my son can use in band. He plays the saxophone and was told he needed a mask that allows him to insert the end of the instrument into his mouth, but his mouth and nose will remain covered. Challenge accepted! The end result is a mask that overlaps in the middle, but almost hinges open to allow something through. Almost like the jaws of a wolf, no?

Project Name & Page Link: Green Tomato Salsa Verde
Brief Description: I’m grateful every day for my husband. He’s my best friend, and the most restful person I’ve ever been around. There are no demands when we are together, just the satisfaction of each of us being allowed to do what we’re interested in, and supporting the other in their pursuits. I know some people are getting grumpy being locked up with their partners for so long during quarantine, but I can’t think of anyone I’d rather be cooped up in a house with. So when I harvested the last of the jalapenos from my mini garden yesterday, I decided to make him some salsa. I already did a traditional red tomato salsa earlier this season, so I explored the big Ball book to find something a little different.

Each batch made 8 soaps, plus a few of what I’m calling my scrappy soaps, of mixed scents. The purple & burgundy are Lychee Red Tea, the blue are Rosewood, the green are Bay Rum, the yellow are Citrus & Rosemary, and the pink are Crisp Apple Rose. I forgot to get a pic before sending most of them off, so this is what’s left!

Brief Description: I’m always paranoid about not having enough of an ingredient for a canning recipe, so I tend to over-buy. The same happened with the green tomatoes I bought for the Salsa Verde I posted yesterday. I had 2 leftover, so I decided to treat us to some fried green tomatoes yesterday. They were AMAZING. The mixture of cornmeal & breadcrumbs make this recipe.
