Peanut Butter Custard


AFFILIATE NOTICE


This blog participates in various forms of advertising,including affiliate marketing. Thank you for your support.

  I love any flavor of custard!  A custard is made with egg yolks and sweetend cream whereas pudding is made with sweetend cream and corn starch. I like both but my preference is a nice thick and creamy custard. When I make my ice cream base I also like to start with a custard.  A custard can either be boiled or baked.  For ice cream, I boil it and then cool the mixture in the freezer before putting the custard mixture in my ice cream maker.

Hummingbird Food


AFFILIATE NOTICE


This blog participates in various forms of advertising,including affiliate marketing. Thank you for your support.


I love to watch the Hummingbirds eat out of the feeders.  The sound of them flying by you on the way to the feeder is a vibrating noise.  My favorite part of watching them is when you get 2 hummingbirds wanting to eat at the same time and they keep running each other off.  



I like to make my own food over buying the ready made as it will save you money. I also do not add red food coloring to mine and the birds still find my feeder and eat it just fine. 

Hummingbird Food

1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar

Microwave water until very hot ( I do mine for 3 minutes)
Stir in sugar until dissolved. Let water cool down to room temperature and then fill feeders
