Words That Inspire
"Homemaking is surely in reality the most important job in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government, etc. exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes?...The homemaker's job is one for which all others exist." – C.S. Lewis (Jack)
"Fairytales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." – G.K. Chesterton
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." – Jane Austen
"How can it be a large career to tell other people's children the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones because of the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness." – G.K. Chesterton
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." – Jane Austen
"Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it." – G.K. Chesterton
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." – Louisa May Alcott

#5 Cranberry Buckle with Vanilla Crumb
I had the pleasure of making this dessert for a couple good friends of ours. We hadn’t seen them in weeks, and George behaved so well while they were here, we were able to enjoy an adult dinner, dessert, and … Continue reading
#4 Apple Pandowdy
This recipe taught me what a “pandowdy” is. Very much like a cobbler or a pie, it is fruit on the bottom with a thick later of biscuit “crust” over the top, rolling with the fruit it tops. The image … Continue reading
#3 Apple Custard Pie with Orange
This recipe sounded a little weird to me, but I wanted to try something pie-like since I’d already made two that were cake. I am so glad I made this one, it disappeared so fast due to it’s deliciousness. I … Continue reading
Out with the Vintage, in with the Rustic: #1 Pear Sauce Bundt cake with Pear Brandy Butter Glaze
I am continuing 2014 with Julie Richardson’s first book, “Rustic Fruit Desserts”. Some of the men who have been enjoying cake in our group were excited for a change to things more like pies. However, there are still many cake-like … Continue reading
