I'm Weird, Are you?

Some of the writer's of blogs I frequent experience the same thing, but what about those of you reading this? I get weird stares/comments when I mention the following:
-I bought bushels of corn this summer just for the sole purpose of having my own frozen corn
-I saved the cobs instead of throwing them out so I could make a corn chowder this winter. I made it last night and it was awesome.
-I asked for a sock loom for Christmas and got one.
-I have a compost bin
-I really want chickens. Judy- I am really envious of your chicken tales lately.
-I make tortillas, English muffins, and bread from scratch.
-We use cloth napkins during every meal, not just when company comes over. And unless we are having a party that is over 12 people, you will never find paper plates in my house or our toy hauler.

These are just a few of the items that make me "weird"

I wouldn't trade any of it. The same people that think I am weird are also the ones that love coming to my house for dinner. Most people my age either don't like to cook or if they do cook it is usually processed foods that they are preparing. I cook about 80% of all our foods from scratch. Being able to work from home has allowed me the extra time necessary to cook this way. I have been making some wonderful breads lately, unfortunately I always forget to take pictures.

So, are you weird? I hope you are in this weird club with me because I love being a member!

Packing Boxes

I don't know if anyone actually reads my blog, but if you do I apologize for the infrequent blogging. It's time for us to move again. Three houses in 8 months since we moved here, I think that might be a new record. We got very lucky and we were able to rent another house in our neighborhood which I am very excited about. The rent is significantly more, but the house is almost twice the size so it will be worth it. We officially move in next Friday so we have been prepping by boxing up quite a few things. Since we are basically moving down the street I am hoping that when we bring something into the new house it will get put where it belongs. I have to leave for California at the end of the month for work so I am trying to make this move as stress free as possible.

I have been continuing to eat following the dark days challenge, I just haven't had time to take pictures and post about it. I am going to try and get my post up in time for the weekly round-up, let's see if I can get it done.
