🔥 Around the Campfire (week 29)

Dear Campers ~ 

Here's a quick recap in case you missed anything at camp last week:

7/13: 🔥 week 28

7/14: thru the years

7/15: TT red onion tip

7/16: thru the years 

7/17: thru the years

7/18: thru the years

7/19: words (follow that path)

Well, once again, this week got away from me and there was NO time to craft or cook or anything! Yikes. I spent most of the week unpacking our things from the condo and let me tell you - we have way too much stuff and no room to put all the new additions! I have a feeling there will be more 'how to downsize, organize, and get rid of things' posts in my near future LOL

So that's it for this week - a bunch of posts about what's happened in years past! See you next week for (hopefully) more projects, crafts, recipes, whatever we can think of to make at camp - bye :)

Sincerely ~

Jill

Tip-sy Tuesday: red onion

When I was googling around for pasta salad ideas I read this tip from someone named Carrian (I didn't copy the link so I don't know where this tip came from other than it says "Carrian's secret to the best Greek pasta salad). But it's a good tip so I'll share it...

I did not follow the Greek pasta salad recipe but here's how the tip reads, and I quote:

"The red onion adds a crunch and flavor that cannot be skipped, and I'll be honest, I don't usually love raw onions. My method to get killer flavor without the harsh bite of a raw onion? Soak it!! Using slightly salted, cold water, gives your onions a ten-minute soak to help the onions remain crisp yet mellow that overwhelming onion-y-ness." 

I posted this pasta salad that I ended up throwing together and it turned out SO good!! I didn't put onion in it so this tip is really just a random onion tip haha.

Apple Tart

Janis and Ron had us over for dinner and she picked up this gorgeous apple tart for dessert from a local bakery - side note: their apple tart usually has nuts in it, when she said Dave was allergic they told her if she gave them about an hour they would make her a special one without nuts - how nice was that?! - I took a picture before she sliced it because it was just so pretty. I haven't made one like this so I don't have their recipe, there are tons online tho so if you want to try your hand at making one there is a lot of inspiration recipes to choose from. Here is one I found at midwestfoodieblog that looks good, the one Janis bought didn't have apricot jam on the apples tho, but the rest looks similar (click here for that post). 

Use this photo as your guide to shaping the tart into a flower shape - I'll update this post after I make one (if it turns out hahah).
