Well on the last journal, I asked if anyone had traditions that they participated in during the fall. I got some good responses, and I thank you guys for that.

I would like to know if you guys want to start doing monthly themes here. If you don't mind, stop by our new poll and vote on that. What I mean by monthly themes is adding in tips specifically for that month's theme. For example, if we do a theme for October, and have it related to Autumn, we could have a section dedicated to recipes for things like hot drinks for around a bonfire, ect. And I'm definitely open to suggestions on what themes and what kind of tips. This is your club too. I'd like to keep running it as such.




An extra tip to add on for citrus fruits. If you microwave lemons until it's slightly warmish, it's a lot easier to roll the lemons and then squeeze the juice out of them! *child-prodigy

About greasing the pans, an ecological trick is also to keeps the butter wrapping instead of throwing it away. You freeze them, and when you need to grease something, you just get one from the freezer and use it like you would do with a towel dipped in butter. You didn't waste any butter or towel ! ~Marie-Ange-the-Celt

Rock hard brown sugar can be softened in the microwave for a few seconds. *kat1967

Thanks so much guys, keep them coming in! I'll be doing a feature at the end of the month for everyone who sends me in a tip this month.
