You’ll find no better love than the Ozeri Kitchen Scale

Posted on September 13, 2017 in Reviews women

We love the new Kitchen Scale here. I’m sure you will love it too.

The kitchen scale runs by battery, and it so small, it’ll fit on your countertop, between other products. I love it, and so does my husband. He measures all of our foods, because we are on diets. This was the perfect time for this product to come into our lives.

You can see how easy it is to weigh your food, just place it on the scale, and the rest is magic.

The Kitchen Scale, shown above, really is a God Send to my family. With watching our weight, counting calories, and walking everyday, now we can make sure we don’t go over our calories, by counting ounces, and pounds easily.

Features include:

Features advanced touch sensitive buttons for easy operation, and large LCD screen that displays weights in pounds, kilograms, grams, and ounces (lb/oz, kg/g, fl.oz., ml)
Boasts a tempered glass surface in reflective black that is 4 times stronger than normal glass, and an award-winning thin design.
Equipped with 4 new high precision GFX sensors, the Ozeri Touch Digital Kitchen Scale provides accurate measurements from 0.05 oz to 12 lbs (1 gram to 5750 grams).
Precision Tare features calculates the net weight of the ingredients (automatically subtracts the container weight to calculate the weight of the ingredients being weighed).

What is Haiti Projects?

They make wonderful products, that are so thoughtful, and touching. I love the doll, I received, that I’ll be handing off to a friend whose daughter is having a baby. This will make a great first doll. It’s so cute, and would be perfect for any little one.

The tea towel is great. I love it, it takes care of it’s purpose, and cleans up my messes. I get the stains out with a detergent, in the wash.

I also adore the Lavender Sachets. They smell so good, and I put one in my intimates drawer, and I love the smell of them, now.

There are plenty of products to choose from at Haiti Projects, and each one has a story. They are all handmade, and lovely.

Traditional Pumpkin Carving Techniques

Posted on September 10, 2017 in Announcements

By Colleen Dorsey

Here they are, the very essentials of pumpkin carving! By following these steps that you probably had down pay when you were a kid, you can get carving with any traditional pumpkin carving pattern. You’ll need a little elbow grease and a tolerance for mess to use this technique, but it’s totally worth it.

Pre-Carving Pumpkin Prep

1.Clean the Pumpkin

Prep the pumpkin first by rinsing it in cold water and using a scrub brush to remove dirt. If you want, you can spray the entire pumpkin with a mild bleach and water solution to kill mold and bacteria.

2.Cut out the Lid
Use a sturdy knife to slowly and carefully carve out and remove the lid of the pumpkin, going in at an angle rather than straight down in. Alternatively, you can cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin, which will mean you can sit your pumpkin on top of a light rather than placing a light inside the pumpkin.

3.Clean Out the Guts
Use a scoop to completely empty the inside of the pumpkin of flesh and seeds. Keep scraping away at the inner walls of the pumpkin until you only have about a 1” (2.5cm) thick pumpkin wall that is nice and smooth.

4.Attach the Pattern
Transfer the pattern using your desired method. Check out Easy Pumpkin Carving for tons of patterns to choose from.

Carving Tips

Actually carving your pumpkin is simple enough. Here are some tips to make carving easy and effective:
Saw steadily with a continuous up and down motion, and don’t press too hard or try to go too fast.
When you’re finished cutting out a standalone piece (like an eye), pop it out of the pumpkin wall with your finger, not your carving tool.
To cut clean, sharp corners, remove and reinsert the carving tool.
Carve starting from the inside of the design and working your way outward.
Resist the urge to put your free hand inside the pumpkin while carving. Only do so if you can clearly see where all of your hand is.
If you accidentally break off a part of your carving as you work, such as a protruding tooth, stick it back on with a toothpick!

Preserve Your Pumpkin!

Keep your carved pumpkin cool and out of the direct sunlight (you can even put it in the fridge). You can also coat the interior and all cut edges with petroleum jelly to help lock in the pumpkin’s natural moisture, or purchase special preservative sprays for pumpkins.
