Lemon Rind for Disposal

I have discovered that anytime I use fresh lemons in a recipe, I can save and freeze the rinds.  I love the smell of fresh lemon in the garbage disposal for a refreshing smell, so I just take a few out of the freezer bag and let them thaw in the sink.  Then I send them through the disposal.  Whenever I make Lemonade or something like that, I always end up with so many extras, so why not save them for later? 

Deer Repellent

Deer are overcoming our yard!  Usually once a day we can look out and see anywhere from 1 to 9 deer in the yard.  And they are multiplying quickly!!  We have several neighbors that feed them and along the way, they stop to eat up our backyard.  They especially love my knockout roses, which I don't especially love.  They sell deer repellent at home supply stores, but why buy it when you can make your own.  I thought I would share if any of you have the same problem, because this really works well.  It isn't harmful to them or to us!

Deer Repellent

1 raw egg
garlic powder
water

In a large spray bottle, put egg and a generous sprinkle of garlic powder.  Fill with water and shake to combine.  Spray directly on plants you wish to keep deer out of.  Sometimes, I even pour on the ground as a perimeter.  Spray every 1-2 weeks depending on the weather.   

**Also, good news this week.  I've been cooking a lot of new recipes.  Be on the lookout this week.
