Fluffy Instant Pot QuinoaDo you have a busy schedule? Investing in an Instant Pot has been a big help. Before I used to make quinoa in a rice cooker and now with an instant pot I am saving over half the time. Here's how you can make fluffy quinoa in an Instant Pot. The splash of lemon adds a nice flavor.
Crispy Panini QuesadillasThis is a fun and super delicious hybrid of a panini sandwich and a quesadilla. Place your favourite sandwich fillings inside two tortillas, add heaps of shredded cheese, and press. You want the cheese to ooze out because it will crisp up and make the most amazing crunchy crust. You don't need a panini press to make this. Instead, you could use a nonstick pan and press down firmly on the filled tortillas with a large spatula.
Vegetable MedleyIf you like a combination of vegetables, or just have small amounts of various vegetables to use up, this is for you. You can vary the vegetables according to the season and what is on sale.
The Significance or Meaning of a Japanese MapleI actually found out a tree story about my brother and his new wife. I guess her grandparents got a tree for one of their wedding gifts and it was a Japanese Maple so wherever they moved to they would dig up the tree and take it with them. So, I thought that might be a good idea.

Cades Cove TennesseeFor our 59th wedding anniversary, we went to Townsend, Tennessee and stayed at Townsend Gateway Inn. This motel is vintage style with 2 rocking chairs sitting in front of each room. You pull up and park right there at your room. The room was very clean and quiet. Beside the TV was a little basket of snacks for us to enjoy.

Value of a Seymour Mann Scarlet O'Hara Doll?I found a rare Scarlet O'Hara doll in a white dress and not green. There were only 2500 made.

I don't have her certification or box.

I'm moving from a camper into an apartment and I have no furniture except for one mattress.

Making an Adjustable Follower Block?I have quite a bit of DMC floss stored in those floss away bags. I currently am using index card boxes and dividers, but would like something bigger.

Ivy Dies Back in August?I have two identical ivy plants on opposite sides of my yard. They both receive several hours of afternoon sunshine. Every August the one ivy shrivels up and dies practically overnight and the other one is healthy all summer. The dying one looked as healthy as the other one up till a week ago. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening?
Breakers Tripped When Changing Dryer Plug?I was changing the plug for my dryer, in an older home I just bought. My circuit box is not labeled well. I thought the correct breaker was off. Guess it was not. As I pulled the wires through the plug box. Sparks went everywhere. If flipped a 15 amp breaker. And half way flipped the main 100 amp breaker. Will it work again if I just replace the 2 breakers? Or could more be wrong?
Clematis Dying Back?These two clematis are growing beside each other. The one is healthy and the other one is dying off. I'm just wondering if it is normal for the one to be dying off so early. There is some new growth on it, but it's looking terrible.
Caring for an Umbrella Tree?How do I care for an umbrella tree? I found one that is almost a yard tall. Someone left it in my garbage room and it is in great shape. It is root bound and very thirsty. I gave it a nice drink today of my super vitamin water that I make for my cannabis plants (water, banana skins, and avocado shells) that I let sit for days. I figured that I would give it a nice drink before transplanting.
