Guess Who?


I have my own "Wild Hog"! He's wearing his Milwaukee skull cap and biker glasses. He spent the afternoon wearing these while working on his "Bike". Oops, I mean the Bronco. Unfortunately, he's also taken to calling me "Babe". I'm not so keen on that. I think he has the new O.C. Chopper showroom on his mind. They had their grand opening this week over on 17k by Barnes and Noble and Loews. I'm sure he'll try to make it in this week to check it out. What do you think kids?

Gone but not forgotten...

Oh, my, my starter is gone...but the taste of the bread will not be forgotten . My mind is gone too...I forgot to add the extra ingredients a few days ago. I chucked it! I don't have to worry though. I'm sure I'll be able to either find someone who has starter to give away or I can get the recipe off the internet. I really wanted to know how it tasted with the chocolate pudding. Leslie, is yours still working?

My Baking Day




This is the result of the Amish Friendship Bread starter that I got from Leslie's friend and neighbor, Terry. The BEFORE/AFTER picture shows the bag of starter and what was left of 1 loaf. Don't you love the loaf on the plate? Kate took the pictures. Next time I bake it I'm going to use the chocolate pudding. Leslie, how did yours turn out?

Hat day at Wingate






Here is my hat. Does anything look familiar? I found all Nana's jewelry and attached it to the hat I found at Rite-Aid(as I was looking for an anniversary card). We had the gathering of the hats this afternoon for cash prizes. Unfortunately I lost out to one hat with cascading curly ribbons and 2 almost identical hats covered in nursing home supplies...such as plastic soap dishes, pill bottles, etc. I wasn't creative enough. I think I'll take a break from these "Freaky Friday" events

Fairy's

At Avery's brithday weekend, we mad fairy's. when we got home, we couldn't think of a good spot to put our fairy's. I think we had them in 3 places before I decided that the plant would be the perfect spot for them. after all they are fairy's and the should be where fairy's should be.... in nature. It was only natural to put them there as their final home. if only I could get them to stay put on a stalk up high, but they keep on falling down. oh well. I think they look good where they are.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

So today was mom and dad's 38th anniversary. I decided that I would make them dessert.

I must be the slowest baker in the world. it said prep time 40 min, and it took me an hour and a half to prepare it all. The recipe is half of a Paula Deen recipe. What do I mean by half you say??? well I only followed the instructions for the filling. I decided against making the dough from scratch and I bought it. If I made the dough, the pie would probably still be in the oven.

What to do, What to do


I was a bit spoiled today. I took the whole day off because I had an appt. this afternoon(taxes...ugh, don't ask) so I putzed around. The girls went off to work as did Dad. I did laundry, some general picking up, showered, shopped for dinner, made dinner, did dishes, cleaned out and lined the knife drawer, talked to Colleen, watched Dancing with the Stars....anyone bored yet? Just a lazy day.
