The Leatherman...

How many women do you know that you can call Super Woman?  How many tools do you know called a Super Tool?  I only know a woman or two that I might call Super Woman, but there's only one tool called The Super Tool, and that is the Leatherman.  Some folks call this special tool a Swiss Army Knife, and it is very similar, but I think the Leatherman is a lot tougher and sturdier than most.  I've had this ol' workhorse in my junk drawer for years and years.  It's actually Hubby's, but it's in the drawer for all of us to use.

Today I used the Leatherman for a small project for a sweet Peach.  She and I had been digging in her mommy's garden and the gosh darn handle broke right off her Little Girl Shovel.  I thought Peach might just burst into tears then and there, but I told her I would fix it for her while she and her family were away visiting her Nana and her cousins for the day.  ~smile~

The first thing to do was to saw off the jagged end of the wooden handle.  The Leatherman has a really sharp saw blade that whizzed right through.

Next I needed to whittle off some of the sides so the handle could slide all the way down into the metal shaft.  That was easy to do with the knife blade.

Lastly, when the handle fitted perfectly into the shaft, I needed to put a couple screws into it to hold the handle securely onto the shovel.  The Leatherman had a Philips screw driver that handled the job.  Now the shovel is fixed up and Miss Peach thinks I'm SuperGram!

You, too, can be Super Gram, Super Mom, Super Wife, Super Girl or Super Man!
All you need is the super tool.... The Leatherman.  Getchya one!

Foods I'm eating....

Open-faced tomato sandwich

Recipe:

Toasted bread, spread on mayo, add a thick sliced tomato, sprinkle salt & pepper.

 Soft Molasses Cookies

The FF (family favorite)

Sent a couple dozen to J. in Tucson.

Ultra-Thin Crust Pizzas

This is the "before" shot.

The recipe calls for sauteing the onions and veggies.  I did not.

It's a great recipe for kids to make since you use flour tortillas for the crust, and it's a quick supper for two.

Next is the "after" baking.

 

I don't have a baking stone (as called for in the original recipe) but instead, I use a regular cookie sheet.  Set the timer for 10 minutes and check pizzas.  Mine are usually done by this time.

I'm alone tonight so I made me a Garden Pizza -- all veggies & cheese -- tomato, onion, green pepper, olives, fresh basil and flat leaf parsley from the garden.  Make it Your Way!  Eat with your hands.

"Chow!"

(that's good-bye and good eating in foodie language)
