Yes, it is snowing! I can honestly say that I am not ready for snow. Yuck. It’s also blustery, so it is full fledged winter here today. I am not a winter fan- except for the days and days of baking that ensue because just looking outside makes me cold. […]

Baked custard.Always have loved to order it out. But I have never made it myself. So tonight I looked up a recipe for baked custard, and then decided that I wanted to attempt a Caramel Flan. I checked the recip, it seemed simple enough. Mix together eggs, sugar, milk, and […]

Is tonight in our house. I think it is kind of funny, actually. Abigail’s school is celebrating books this week, and part of that is turn off the TV night. What is funny, is that there is no effort here for that. Abigail watches very little TV after school anyways. […]

That’s me today. This morning I sent my Precious Princess to school with someone else. Since she started Kindergarten, either Andy or I have taken her to school every day, and picked her up every day. (Except for once- Thanks Grandma!) Andy started his new job today, so he had […]

I’m just in the mood.The mood to bake. Yesterday I used some expired bananas to make a chocolate chip banana bread. Yum. Then I used some past their prime apples to make pie. Yum. Today I went and cleaned the church and found that no one is signed up for […]

Today was the first day of the end of madness. 🙂 Today we held our official dress rehearsal for Bye Bye Birdie. The dress rehearsal is technically a performance. It is a performance for our school districts 4th and 5th grade students. It gives our cast a chance to fine […]

Sort of. 🙂 I made basic pasta and marinara tonight for dinner. Which of course I have done many times before. But I did try a new marinara recipe today. I tried Giada’s Basic Marinara from Everyday Italian, and I was not disappointed. It was bright and fresh tasting- exactly […]

But I certainly wouldn’t know. I woke up at 5:00 am yesterday morning for my own visit to the bathroom. And pretty much spent the rest of the day alternating between there and the couch. Yuck. I felt completely awful. The dilemma was: what to do with this turkey that […]

I figure that there is a good chance I will miss posting tomorrow because of Thanksgiving Dinner. But I had to come on and post my successes today. It was a crazy busy day that started at the bright hour of 5:00 am. Abigail woke me up with a tummy […]

Well, last night I got the turkey brining! Later tonight I will take it out of the brine to rest overnight. Today I have quite a few things to do, but forgetting my shopping list yesterday is really hurting me today. Abigail is home with her first sick day, so […]

I figure I should take a second and post a few updates for everyone. I am taking a pause between making dinner and sewing a few accessories for the show to get my thoughts in order. I feel like a mad hen this evening. I am in a last minute […]
