It’s about 7 years in the making and includes flower beds, an evergreen garden, an organic vegetable garden, backyard chickens, a compost bin, and a rain barrel. Everything has been landscaped from scratch… none of these gardens existed when we moved in. There will be more videos of the progress throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make fluffy and flavorful Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes. These make a great accompaniment to almost any meal; with the extra flavor from the browned butter, they are extra special! Ingredients: ¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks) 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3/8-inch slices. (I used Idaho potatoes, but you may use any potatoes that cook and mash well.) 3 teaspoons salt 1 ¼ cup milk 1 teaspoon lemon juice ¼ teaspoon white pepper Place ¾ cup butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown—about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a Pyrex glass measuring cup. The butter will become overbrowned if allowed to sit in the hot saucepan. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the browned butter in a Pyrex custard cup for use as a topping for the mashed potatoes when they are done. Place 4 pounds of peeled and sliced potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and place over medium heat. When the potatoes come to a boil, reduce the heat and boil 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes, discarding the potato water. Let potatoes sit for a few minutes, so that they will dry out a bit. Meanwhile, stir 1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1 1/4 cup milk. Now, mash the potatoes with a potato masher to desired consistency. Add browned butter (except for the 2 reserved tablespoons), 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, and about 1 cup of the …

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a New Year’s Eve Sparkling Drink. It is a beautiful drink, and tastes wonderful. With pineapple sherbet, fresh strawberries, and your choice of champagne or sparkling white grape juice, it’s sure to please just about everyone! Cheers, and Happy New Year! Ingredients: 1 1/2 quarts pineapple sherbet 2 cups fresh strawberries, cut into eighths champagne or sparkling white grape juice, about 3/4 cup per serving (You can get this in 25.4-oz. bottles at your grocery store.) Clear stemmed glasses for serving Spoon about 2 1/2 to 3 scoops of pineapple sherbet into each stemmed glass. Top each serving with about 1/4 cup strawberries. Pour champagne over each serving. Serve immediately. YUM!
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty Lemonade Syrup Splash. It is a concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze and have instant, refreshing lemonade anytime! Ingredients: 1 cup fresh lemon juice (In a pinch, you may use reconstituted lemon juice from a bottle.) 2 cups sugar (You may use artificial sweetener, if you choose. I used Splenda.) 1 cup water Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. (You may cool this syrup at room temperature for a bit, and then you may refrigerate it to make it cool faster.) Add 1 cup lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (I use a *clean* mayonnaise jar with a lid, and shake the mixture every time I use it.) When ready to serve, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemonade syrup to 1 tall glass of ice water. During the summertime this is great to keep in your refrigerator. You can have a tall, refreshing glass instantly, or you can use more of the syrup for a pitcher of lemonade for lunch or dinner! This should be one of your savers!
