Summer Project!

Nothing to do with diabetes here, I just wanted to show the awesome cabinet I found on Craig's List and hope to be picking up tonight!  It'll be my summer project, and Jeff has already said 'you'll never finish it' oh but I will.  We desperately need the storage in our kitchen and there's a big, empty wall that needs something on it too.  Here it is, not lookin' too hot.  The red paint is actually glass in the cabinets. 
I'm very excited.  It needs a good re-furbishing...not sure what finish I want it in, any ideas?

I am thinking that I would strip the red paint and maybe put a cute fabric behind the glass. Oh the possibilities. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Clean the red off the glass and do a faux etching? Are you looking to paint or stain? (or bit of both? Stain the countertop part and paint the rest perhaps. I'll be watching this project. I have a hoosier cabinet myself that I need to refurbish sitting in the garage. Can't wait to see what you do!

Thanks for the suggestions! I started on it and was delightfully surprised to find etched glass on the cabinet doors under that hideous red paint! See my post from yesterday for a quick pic!

Boozy Beets?

I'm reading up on lacto-fermenting vegetables, in preparation for my abundant harvest I'm hoping for this year.  One random article said, "Just be careful not to cut beets too small as they contain a lot of sugar and can produce alcohol."  Hmm...beet wine anyone?  Does it exist?  Further research is needed on this one! *** Oh good Lord...it does exist!  http://jinman2871.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/beet-wine/   from randomly searching and found the Prairie Girl blog!

Doughnut Low

Being diabetic and having a low blood sugar isn't always a bad thing... Like today when I went for my daily soda there was a little custard-filled, chocolate-glazed, doughnut calling my name.  I bought it with the thought, "I feel like I may be low and I sorta hope I am!"  I was.  BG of 49.  Ha.  Good timing.   It was delicious.  The pudding is my favorite part.    I wonder sometimes if our psyches get the better of us type-1s because having a low = a treat sometimes.  Growing up without being able to eat whenever/whatever treats we wanted, maybe now, subconsciously, our bodies give a little "woo hoo, I'm low, eat something yummy!  Screw those icky glucose tabs!"
