Coupons, Tips and Frida

Happy Birthday, Frida Kahlo.  That woman was a fabulous artist and knew how to rock her clothes.  Who else could have gotten away with those eyebrows and that outfit?  Love her art, but hate her choice of men and politics.  She was one interesting woman I'd like to chat with.

On RedPlum.com you can find coupons for $2 off the Ball Discovery Canning Kit and also a coupon for Buy 2 packages, get one free, on Ball or Kerr lids or lids with bands. Also, for those of you who like Rhodes Rolls, there is a $1 off coupon.

I came across some information I wanted to share with you.  If you use powdered milk in a recipe that calls for scalded milk, you don't have to scald it.  Just add the correct amount of milk to the recipe. How easy is that?  Also, when making bread, you don't need a dough enhancer if you use potato water and add as much vinegar as you do yeast.  For example, one teaspoon of yeast, one teaspoon of vinegar.
