Yard Sale Finds can become Treasures

It's the thrill of the hunt: to take discarded items from yard sales or flea markets and recreate them as one-of-a-kind accent pieces. Often all it takes is a bit of paint and a discerning eye to transform trash into treasure.

# what you'll needTSP+
# sandpaper
# alkyd primer
# black gloss paint
# gold craft paint
# instant stencils or stencil motif

1. Wash table with TSP+, prime and paint.

2. Stencil on desired motif. (In the picture, an instant stencil was rubbed onto the surface to create the decorative detail.)

Yeh, it's Snowing!

We keep getting more snow, so let's take advantage of the good weather and go Sledding!
Well you can't go to Chesnut Ridge Park,
The pinheads that run county governmnet have closed all county Parks, and technically you may be fined. The county parks will be closed probably until the end of this year, so where can you go for Free sleding?

One Suggestion:
In the Town of Locport on Route 31, just past the hospital, there is a city park, that has a great hill, its a little crazy and wild, but loads of fun.I'm sure there are plenty more places, if you have any suggestions, please comment.

If you need a Flexible Flyer, check out the sleds and tabogans at HectorsHardware.com

Once you have the Trout....either from the stream or from the fish Store....

Stuffed Trout with Lemon and Pink Peppercorns

Lemon bits add refreshing acidity to complement the rich trout flesh, while tiny pink peppercorns add an intriguing burst of flavor.
1 lemon
3 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper

4 whole trout, cleaned and boned from belly side
Olive oil spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper


Peel lemon; discard rind. Dice pulp into small pieces. In a small bowl, combine lemon pieces, bacon, parsley, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Spoon one fourth of the bacon mixture into each boned trout. Close belly cavity over stuffing; tie each trout closed with 3 to 4 lengths of kitchen string. Spray trout on both sides with oil; season with salt and pepper.

Place trout on center of cooking grate and grill 12 to 14 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time, until fish flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Makes 4 servings.
