Have you ever tried to untangle a handful of old jewelry that had been carelessly tossed aside in a drawer? That is the case here. The chains are knotted and kind of matted together... especially the tiny, fine chains. It... Continue reading

AND... pomegranates are on sale right now at HEB! (Wish I didn't hate the job so much of seeding them.) Pomegranates always remind me of my visits to INDIA. Sometimes we ate them at every meal. My favorite way was when they were served atop a special Indian custard. Yum!
