The completed carbonara ala pobre.

Carbonara Ala PobreThe community quarantine still continued upto now. Number of Covid-19 cases is still rising in my town so we were advised to continue to stay at home. Because of this, everyday, we discover things we weren't able to do or eat before since we now have more time and boredom has made us go beyond what is seen inside the four corners of our homes.

 

A plate of turkey stuffed tomatoes.

Ground Turkey Stuffed TomatoesThis is a pretty simple meal to make and is very flavorful. I like to pair this meal with rice. If you don't like ground turkey, you can stuff with ground beef, chicken or pork.

 

A plate of cooked chicken cordon bleu.

Chicken Cordon BleuI just felt like being creative with what I had, so I defrosted some chicken breast, which turned out being large tenders. Had a few slices of ham and provolone cheese. When everything was laid out to be prepared, I was shocked by the results!

 

A slice of triple nut tart on a plate.

A spider web covered with dew.

Orb Weaver Spider WebI have always loved the uniqueness of this type of spider web. It is so professionally done and especially beautiful when it's wet with dew and the sun is shining on it. This spider web is constructed by the Orb Weaver. She catches insects therefore earning her keep on my carport.

 

Decorative footed glasses in red and gold.

Value of Glasses?I would like to know if these are worth anything. My nana left me them when she died.

 

Decorative stickers used to seal open food packaging.

Stickers to Reseal FoodsI constantly get too many address labels and stickers free in the mail and have lately been using them to reseal my no seal packages rather then use plastic bags or other packaging methods. Just a simple sticker will seal just fine, from cat food to cheese or my liverwurst.

 

Starburst Pipe Cleaner Tree Topper - closeup of the topper

Starburst Pipe Cleaner Tree TopperThis is an easy and inexpensive way to create a retro tree topper that's also fun to make. All you need is a package of silver pipe cleaners and that's all there is to it. If you want to change up your colors from year to year, this is also a great way to coordinate your topper to match your tree.

 

Hair clips holding pens and a power cord.

New Uses for Old Hair ClipsI recently went short on my hair. At 65, it was time. So that left me with some clips I no longer needed. I usually donate them but before I did, I thought of some ways to use them for things other than hair.

 

Sunset Mountain Painting - painting on tile floor with jar candles

Sunset Mountain PaintingWell here we are, all stuck at home with two different pandemics going around. One, the most serous is of course covid-19, and the other is boredom! We can all agree we've caught ourselves more than once in the months we've been at home sitting on the couch and just thinking of what we can do rather then actually doing it lol!

 

An iris next to a metal fence.

Rustic Beauty IrisAmidst the rustic wood and wire fence, I found this pretty iris growing.

 

A dish drainer with no bottom tray.

Finding A Bottom for a Smaller Dish DrainerI wanted to give myself some more counter space. My drainer took up a lot, and didn't prevent water from going under and sitting there for days. So today I found the perfect size. It's sturdy, smaller and will encourage me to do my dishes more often. However, it didn't come with a drainer tray. So before I went to another store to find the perfect one, I looked around at what I had at home.

 

A hawk on a powerline.

A Walk and a HawkI was out for an evening walk with my dog, when I heard tree branches move. I looked up and this male or female hawk looked at us for a while. In person, it looked bigger than the picture. :)

 

Iced tea with lemon slices.

Get the Most from Your LemonI love a fresh lemon slice in my iced tea but the lemon usually spoils before I can use the whole thing. I'd slice it up and put it in the fridge but, by the end of the week, it's slimy and spoiled. Until I thought of this trick.
