I couldn’t call my blog Domesticity by Trial and Error if there were never any errors, right? I thought it was a good idea, and the guy seemed to like it well enough but I’d actually put this into the ERROR category… probably won’t be making it again, at least not without some huge modifications.… Continue Reading

Vegetable garden bounty! And ERROR eggplant recipe
Check out those eggplants and cucumbers! The cucumbers went into a delicious cucumber salad… just de-seed, chop, and toss with some fat-free sour cream, a sprinkling of ranch dressing mix (dry), and some rice vinegar. Very tasty!

Trial and ERROR steak
So, Joyful Abode is all about my trials and errors into the domestic domain. Mostly I’ve had successes, but every now and then I make ugly carrot cake muffins or something.
