The Lucky Fox: Strawberry coring
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014/04/strawberry-coring.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. I'm not a real fan of cleaning strawberries. Never have been. I'd rather be on the eating end of things when it comes to these little guys. None the less, cleaning must be done. I'd always done it the 'old fashioned' way. Cut the top off, then slice the berry, but it always bothered me that the less sweet core was still inside, and it took a fairly big cut off the top to remove the leaves, and the hardest part of the core, right at the top.

The Lucky Fox: October 2013
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 19, 2013. It's that 'pumpkin' time of year again, and one of my favorite fall things is a pumpkin spice latte. Not long ago I swore off of Starbuck's because I was tired of paying nearly $5/cup for the occasional latte, and I'd found myself disappointed in the quality and consistency of their product one time too many. A little experimentation in the kitchen would answer that question. This recipe is written for a single serving espresso machine (one 16 ounce latte, or two 8 ounce latte...

The Lucky Fox: April 2014
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 25, 2014. Up-cycle (or is that re-cycle? Hum, these could work, I thought. I took my rotary cutter, ran a slice through the strings holding the place mats about every 2", and pulled them apart. Very easy, and I have enough small stakes to last several growing seasons, all from just one of the mats. I still have two left. I'll keep them. Never know what use they may find. My sagging tomato before. And perked up after.happy. Posted by Leslie Renaud Kuther. Labels: Crafting / Projects. Most of...

The Lucky Fox: March 2014
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. I've never done a great deal of gardening. I like to experiment, and I enjoy the fruits of my labors, but I've not invested in much, in terms of equipment or education. Just sort of a 'shoot from the hip' kind of thing. This year I decided to take things a bit more seriously. This, after I promised myself I wouldn't do a garden.so much for promises to myself. Were great for 'tagging' each cup. My basil cuttings grew well in water. Once they had developed roots, I transplanted ...

The Lucky Fox: Seedling update and time for trimming
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014/04/seedling-update-and-time-for-trimming.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Seedling update and time for trimming. It was only the tomatoes that needed trimming at this point. The peppers won't need any, nor will the eggplant. The basil I will prune to create a bushier plant, but it's still a little early for that. They look a little naked now that they are trimmed, but I know it's good for them, and for how I want them to grow. With the speed they have been growing, it should be no time before they are ready for another trim. This winter are coming along.

The Lucky Fox: February 2014
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Brown butter and cream cheese pecan sandies. I'm not sure what prompts some of these combinations in my mind, other than odd cravings and the ingredients I have on hand when the mood strikes. If you like pecan sandies, or a shortbread cookie, give it a whirl. I don't think you will be disappointed. A rich, almost creamy texture, and an excellent, yet subtle flavor profile. 4 ounces cream cheese, softened. 1/4 cup brown sugar. Whole pecans for topping cookies. Using a small s...

The Lucky Fox: Pesto baked eggs
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014/07/pesto-baked-eggs.html
Saturday, July 12, 2014. With a rather significant cutting on my basil plant two days ago, I decided to make pesto. I didn't have any pine nuts, and they are very expensive, so I rarely use them in pesto, anyway. I used what I had, which was pecans. It was a basic pesto recipe; basil leaves, garlic, salt and pepper, and my prized Barouni olive oil from Joelle Oil. I don't cook with my Barouni olive oil, because I often worry that it will lose something in the high heat, but in a pesto? Bake for 8 minutes...

The Lucky Fox: November 2014
http://theluckyfox.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 8, 2014. Before winter sets in. Staring down the barrel of winter in the northwest, a trip south was just what I needed. A week with a dear friend? The icing on the cake! A busy week working with another client dog, this one in Birnam Wood, just down the street from Oprah Winfrey's house.I waved as I went by every day, but never saw her. Perhaps she didn't get the memo that I was in town. Maybe next time, Oprah! I'll have my people call your people. Posted by Leslie Renaud Kuther.
