Staircase and Hall

The last of the major projects to be completed was hallway and staircase.  We went back and forth on how to best accomplish this because we knew it was going to be like taking apart and reassembling a 3D life size puzzle!  Several things had to be accomplished:  Floors, treads, and risers needed to be sanded, stained and refinished.  The walls needed to be repaired, sanded, primed and painted.  Then, all that woodwork had to sanded, primed, and painted.  And let’s not forget that we needed to get a big clawfooted tub up to the third floor bathroom so the bannister and balusters had to be removed.  Also, the entire structure needed to be stabilized a bit and refinished anyway, so it was the perfect time to accomplish this.  We also decided to paint the balusters white to brighten up the area a bit.  It all sounds so easy as I write this so I’m not going to tell you how long it actually took to accomplish!

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
