Some pictures of things that have been happening around here.
I taught Hannah and Cari how to use the sewing machine.
Stop holding your breath Mom, they are very careful.
Hannah's finished product. She gave it to her Dad. She said she made him a new tie to wear to school. He wore it at home.
This morning we made Blueberry Parfaits. Everybody made their own - exactly how they wanted it. I layered mine with frozen blueberries from Maine, french vanilla yogurt and french vanilla granola. Y.U.M.!
Cari made the same layers. She LOVED it!!! Here she is finishing it up. I almost didn't get the camera in time.
Hannah doesn't care for blueberries. So, she had a 'fruit dip'. She used grapes and apples to dip in her yogurt.
For breakfast on Sunday, I made homemade biscuits from scratch, fried sausage and sausage gravy. I know, this doesn't look like a picture of my beautiful biscuits. We were too busy eating them and getting out the door for church, so I didn't get a picture. Don't worry, another batch WILL be made. They were WONDERFUL!
Now, to explain the picture. I was in the process of making gravy and my whisk got stuck on the hot sausage grease and then flung hot grease all over my arm. I got a few tiny burns and this one bigger burn. The more I looked at it, I decided it looked like a snail. Nobody else thought so until I drew it's shell.
Today, we had Chicken Filet Sandwiches. I made the hamburger buns. Aren't they pretty? I just love making bread! These were made out of the 'No Excuse Bread' recipe.
What kind of mom let's her kids get up out of the bed to come and taste her homemade icing? Even after they had brushed their teeth! I made them brush again.
On Wednesday, the Titus 2 ladies will be meeting again. We are working on learning to decorate a cake. We are suppose to bring a single layer of cake frozen. I made my cakes today. Of course, the recipe makes two cake layers. The first one broke in half when I tried to get it out the pan. (I thought greasing and flouring was suppose to prevent that! I must put wax paper on my grocery list.)
The other layer came out good. It is in the freezer. The broken cake got homemade chocolate icing in the middle and on top. We had it for dessert after supper tonight. Michael said, "This is the best piece of cake I have ever eaten!" This one is a keeper! I will post the recipe tomorrow.
