🙂 Try this one out for yourself!OK, I think I’m ready.

Just so you can see, here’s an idea of how the wood on our deck used to look, from about 2 years ago.. That wood was weath.ered.. And now it’s fresh as a daisy!.

Except better because it has that whole “distressed on purpose” look to it.We (all of us) just love it out here now!.The back yard definitely needs a few improvements in terms of the landscaping and a bit of clean up, but it’s coming along nicely!.

Just pretend all those plants and shrubs are in non-cartoon form, K?.If you look closely at that last picture (which still has the old green fake shutters) and some of the others, you can see that we also built some new, chunkier grey shutters to go around the windows too.

Details on that project coming soon!.

All it took to finish this project off was a trip to a few July clearance sections and we were all set!You’ll be adding them to your shopping list every week once you taste these!.

Success in mushroom making is all in the technique, so expensive ingredients aren’t required, just make sure your mushrooms are nice and fresh.. Once you’ve chosen your mushrooms, you’ll need to clean them.You want to keep the moisture content down to get a really good brown color on them and avoid steaming them instead, so instead of soaking your mushrooms, just wipe them down with a damp cloth.. Once your mushrooms are clean, trim the tough part from the end of each steam and then slice them thinly like this:.
