We had a successful "pop up" sale at my friend's new business venture: Ewe & Herb, LLC
She had bags of fresh cut herbs for only $2.50 a bag. I knew I was going to make a Margarita Pizza when I bought the basil.
I have posted my recipe for pizza dough on my blog before, but it was a long time ago. I have had requests, since posting a picture of this on instagram, so here is the link:

I made the sauce from scratch too...only because I didn't have any...
Here is the link to their face book page: https://www.facebook.com/Ewe-Herb-LLC-1702720866422534/
They will be able to supply you with fresh herbs year round.

While cleaning out my estate inventory, I found this vintage ice cream maker.
Justine and I experimented with it today. We looked at pinterest and came up with a good base and decided to make up our own variety. We dug through the pantry and Justine came up with the idea of making an Almond Joy Ice Cream.
It was really easy. This is the recipe.
1 3/4 C heavy cream
1 1/4 C whole milk
1/4 C sugar
1 T almond extract
Justine toasted some slivered almonds. Next time we will toast the coconut too. Then we added;
1/3 C coconut
1/3 C chocolate chips
1/3 C almonds
Put all of this in the ice cream maker. We put the ice and salt in the outside of the container and turned it on. It only took about 20 minutes and we had the most delicious ice cream.
We also made a healthy version of frozen strawberry yogurt. This was even easier, we put in 4 C of non fat vanilla greek yogurt (1 large container) and about 2 C sliced strawberries. It also took about 20 minutes in the maker.
These both were so good.

I couldn't stand to throw away some milk that turned sour - with just the 2 of us now, this has happened a few times. Women have been baking with sour milk forever - I just haven't. I looked through some recipes, but couldn't find something I wanted to make. So, I decided to make one up.
Sour Milk Coffee Cake:
1 C shortening
zest and juice of 1 lemon
3/4 C white sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
Cream together, add
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
1 t baking powder
4 C flour
blend together, add
1 C sour milk
Mix well. This will be enough for 2 round coffee cake pans or 1 rectangle pan. The dough will be thick, but spoon into a prepared pan. Top with fruit of your choice. I did blackberries and raspberries - you could use really anything you like, apple slices, cherries, chocolate chips - be creative.
Then top with the following crumble:
1/2 C flour
1/2 C butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
Bake at 325-350 until done. Once cooled drizzle with powder sugar glaze.
Enjoy!

For my Five on Friday - I'm giving homage to my week in reference to Clint Eastwood's movie, "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" to make it 5, I'm adding The Funny and The Blessed.
1. The Good: My friend Terry referred a partial estate buy out to me. I was able to buy some really nice stuff. It was a good day of junking/hunting/picking.
2. The Bad: I was "junk drunk" off that pick and I guess I ran a stop sign....unfortunately, a cop just happen to be there....
3. The Ugly: The weather, it's been raining here in Wisconsin like every day!
4. The Funny: My "intern" Shannon, is very healthy and runs marathons etc., well she wears a Fit Bit. The other day, she said, "we have been very active and had X number of steps." I had to laugh as, if you do what I do for a living, you know the lifting, shuffling, loading, up and down steps - it's actually a pretty demanding physical job. I have bruises and scars to prove it. Anyway, it was funny to think, if I do all this activity, why am I still fat?
5. The Blessed: I was able to spend the night at Anna's house in Waukesha and we went to the flea market in Elkhorn. It was nice to have some one on one mama daughter time with her. Another blessing was that my friend and her daughter came down to shop the flea too and I met up with them for a ride home.
So, that's it...have a great weekend. For my fellow American friends, Happy 4th of July - May God Bless America!
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

I wanted to share a give away with my bloggers as well as my business Facebook page followers.
One of the items of my partial estate buyout this week was a box set of several Parisian Prints linens. These are what we call "new, old stock" which is picker lingo that means, vintage or antique, but new and never used.
The give away is for a Bicentennial themed linen dish towel, made by: Parisian Prints - All Linen - made in USA "Nothing Dries Like Linen!" (slogan) - I would agree.
