WhichOneWednesday: Green tomato recipes

In true North Dakota style, our fall is over almost before it began. Yesterday it was 80 degrees; tomorrow we're looking at 20s with a good chance of a snow storm.

So today I trudged to my garden over my lunch hour and went to work harvesting what remained in my cute little plot. I'd hoped my Brussels sprouts would mature on the stocks, and I'd prayed my tomatoes naturally blush on the vine. But alas, Mother Nature didn't care about my plans.

Now my pantry is stocked with a paper grocery sac full of green tomatoes waiting for me to figure out their fate. Being a first-year gardener, this is a new vegetable (OK, Stephanie Tanner, fruit) for me to handle with my not-so-hot kitchen skills.

This is the part where I ask you for help and beg your expertise. Which one of these recipes should I try?

The obvious choice, Baked Green Tomatoes?

WhichOneWednesday: Hairy do or don'ts

Well, it's up to you again, my friends, to help me decide on something.

For the past year, I've been growing my hair out. It's reached my shoulders, and fits comfortably in a ponytail and even topknot (the motivation for my grow-out in the first place), but now I'm feeling like I'm maybe ready for change.

So help me decide:

Cut it into something more like this?

Or keep growing it out in hopes of something like this?

WardrobeWednesday: Handbags

I'm on a mission to find a new handbag. I was something classic, leather and black. I don't want to spend a ton, but I want it to last.

Of course, I also have a little handbag ADHD and find plenty of purses that don't fit that description but that I still completely love.

Can you help me pick which one?

WhichOneWednesday: One-day sewing project

I determined to get my sewing machine out on Saturday and whip up a quick project. I haven't used it since I spent way too long several weeks making my owl Halloween costume this fall.

So here are the two projects I'm deciding between.

This vintage smock.



Or this tote bag.
I'm kind of a newbie to following patterns and sewing in general, so which do you think would be easier? And which do you think is cuter?

WhichOneWednesday: Haircut

I'm getting my haircut Thursday, and I'm so excited to have my stylist back in town. I've been going to random people, and the trust level has just not been there.

So here's the question. Which haircut should I get? Should I go in for more of a shaping up or should I go shorter and straighter?

Currently:

OK, people. I need some help deciding here. There is definitely a less expensive choice between the two, but I'm wondering which one you guys like better.

WhichOneWednesday: Winter hats

It's getting a little bit chillier every morning, so it's time to get back in my winter gear. You might remember this post a few years ago. Well, it turns out I'm desperately in the need* of a new hat.

It would have to function with three coats: black, dark gray and royal blue. Please help me choose:

Which is your favorite?



*need is a bit strong of a word considering I already own too many hats, but just bear with me and encourage my unnecessary spending habits.
