The Next Batch of Peeps

March 27, 2023

There are some weird Peeps hanging out at our house. Those on the top row have no eyes. The ones on the bottom row have weird, droopy, runny eyes. Oh, well, they're here to be consumed . . not to win a beauty contest. I suppose it's just the decorations that are wonky and everything else with them is ok. I think Addie would be grossed out to get Peeps with no eyes. Rita will be proud ...

Bread for the Week

March 27, 2023

Late last week I made loaf bread - the Oatmeal Toasting Bread that makes three loaves. I took one to a friend and got this note back from her. Yesterday morning I looked at our menu for the week and baked the rolls and buns we'll need for the week. I ground 4-1/2 cups of hard white wheat to make this bread. There are 10 small rolls. Vince will usually eat three and I'll eat two with ...

Friends

March 27, 2023

I try to think of reasons why but I don't seem to make friends easily . . not like I once did. I still spend way too many hours on the phone with friends I grew up with or friends from my younger adult life. I have friends on Facebook from when we lived in Kentucky, Missouri the first time, Texas and probably more friends from here than from those three previous locations put together. There's ...

Egg Shells

March 27, 2023

Throughout the year I save egg shells. I keep a roasting pan in the sun room and I will rinse the egg shells, then add them to the roasting pan. When it's about about half full, I'll bake them. After I've used the oven, I stick the roasting pan in there and let them cook for 12 - 15 minutes. Supposedly that kills salmonella that could get into your soil or critters digging around in the garden ...

Poor Planning

March 26, 2023

I'm almost always planning ahead and don't usually screw up as bad as I did this evening. I was so tired from working in the garden at least five hours, cooking, baking bread . . we finished dinner and I told Vince . . "I'll get the dishwasher loaded and going but I'm honestly too tired to wash the pots and get everything cleaned up nice and neat. After I sit for a while, I may be able to come ...

The Chocolate Cake

March 26, 2023

I've mentioned before that a neighbor has two young boys that we really like. They say the funniest things and don't hesitate to tell you what they want! I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I made cupcakes and took to them. They were white cupcakes with blue icing. I was going to use pink icing but figured . . boys . . blue. It was all homemade from scratch. I had seen a recipe a couple of ...
