<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">My boss, county judge, went to Cuba on vacation. She brought me back a bottle of Havana Club Rum and asked for a rum cake. (Each Christmas I give her coupons for desserts that she can cash in throughout the year. They DO have an expiration date, but as judge she has marked out the expired date, written in the current date, initialed the change and submitted the coupon. ;-) Good thing I love her!) </span></span></span><br />

While he just held the Schlitz mug for me to take a picture of it, I actually bought fudge to bring home! We had a cabin here for the night and they just so happened to operate a fudge shop. Pure coincidence that I picked a cabin at this location. Just chance. No advance planning or anything like that. I promise. Ouch..my fingers are cramping I've crossed them so hard.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">The story behind the photo: I was at a job related meeting in McKinney which is a short distance from both Denton and Sherman. I had time to drop in on one of the kids. Instead of tossing a coin, I considered the roads. Hwy 380 between McKinney and Denton is a dirty word to travel at 5:15 p.m. So I headed north on I-75. Drove up to John and Erin's only to find Erin home all alone while the boys ran errands with their dad and were going to eat supper. Erin and I visited a few minutes then I headed to the restaurant. Mum's the word... the look on John's face as I slid into the booth beside Colt was priceless! </span></span></span><br />

My Confederate Rose the night before a heavy frost. I took cuttings and have them in a bucket of water. They have little baby roots on them! I have about 15 cuttings and most are promised to others.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Look what I found in the bottom of a dresser drawer!! Memories of my teenage bedroom. I've often thought that I wish I hadn't thrown this away. I DIDN'T! I'm going to get a poster frame and hang it up in my adulting bedroom.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me explain what this is...it is a ball of sand covered with a shell of rusty red iron ore sandy clay. Think about rolling a snowball into a big then bigger then biggest ball of snow to build a snowman. A few grains of sand stick together and with rain over a period of time roll a bit and pick up more sand - repeat - then it rolls through some of that rusty red iron ore sandy clay. Over a period of time, you can find this on your walks through our rusty red iron ore land. I found this one "out back" on our ten acres. I had it on the base of a bird bath (basin broke a long time ago). One day I noticed that it was missing. It had been knocked off because of hard rain and/or wind. And I probably stepped on it.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here it is with some smaller "balls" of clay that my first husband and I found during one of our many walks "through the wild." I keep them in a small jar on a small shelf in my bedroom along with that thing in the middle. It's a blob of ore that is pretty much perfectly rounded on bottom but dished out like a bowl on top! The two objects to the top right **one blue/one whitish** are clay marbles that we found on the piece of property his aunt and uncle gave us to build a house on back in the mid 1970s. The property was the site of Uncle's childhood home. These marbles could very well have been his or his siblings'. </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My sunshine visitors. I finally hung a second feeder. The 5-6 hummers that we had brought friends. We have close to two dozen hummers acting fools for what I called "hummingbird crack" until my husband informed me to call it something else. Eh...it's crack to them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Season it up GOOD to suit YOU! A few herbs...I like basil. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cheese of choice - this is sharp cheddar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And because they've taken all the flavor out of pork to make it "healthy," lay a strip of bacon on each side...do that before you cheese it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bake until done. (Don't you LOVE my Lodge cast iron platter?!)</span><br />

Last month just before signing the papers on his house he received notification from work that he is no longer a jailer and reserve deputy. Nope. People from the Sheriff's office were calling me right and left to try to get hold of him on his off-time and coming by the office with congratulations. EVERYONE knew but him. A deputy position opened and he is now a full time sheriff's deputy!!! Good news for him EVERYWHERE!)</span><br />

He said that he wasn't going to paint his bedroom. I let myself in, did all the taping, trimming, edging, and left him with this happy face. I told him that he'd bought the paint and if he didn't get it done now, he wouldn't. </span><br />

This one was just a regular chair until it saved my life. I'm certain a good son put the concrete pavers on top of the concrete porch to help out his older, prone to falling mother. However, this mother stepped off that bit of extra height porch and stagger stepped sideways until I landed on the chair. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I still love my job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am not ready to retire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My judge is retiring the end of this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Three Republicans and one Democrat tossed their hats in the ring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">None of the Republicans garnered over 50% of the vote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The run-off between two of them is in May.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ALL of the original four asked me to stay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have my own campaign manager!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My elementary school principal my 5th and 6th grades came to see me and told me that prior to the primary he had talked with each candidate and told them that they better be smart and keep me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He's a sweetheart!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We went to New Iberia Louisiana!</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Today I cooked my first Dutch baby. Have no idea where the name came from...haven't tried looking it up.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Put butter in a 10" cast iron skillet. Put in oven.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In blender, blend eggs on high for one minute. Slowing blend in milk then flour blending 30 seconds.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Husband didn't get up and out of bedroom until after 9 at which point he wasn't sure if eating a Dutch baby sounded good at all. LOL</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Since he normally doesn't eat breakfast, I didn't worry about lunch at noon. When I did get up, I got out my #8 Griswold Dutch oven that I paid a whopping $18 for at a thrift shop in Delta Colorado while on vacation a couple of years ago.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Husband walked into the kitchen, looked in the pot then at his boots and pronounced that the roux was almost ready since it was almost the color of his boots. </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">He was so excited that he even chopped the vegetables. This is an unusual occurrence which happens only a couple of times a year. The last time I asked for help...this time he volunteered. I definitely thanked him!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was so disappointed when I discovered that my husband did not like to garden. Isn't that what you are supposed to do when you are retired and have TEN acres? Sigh...so this was my idea for this year. Tomatoes in old flower pots and a brittle bucket. Doesn't matter the "venue," I am going to get a few tomatoes!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They do have to be watered every couple of days. And since they are in containers, if they are still alive as it gets hotter, we can move them into the screen room out of direct sunlight.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A word about the pool. It looks a mess. Even though it is clean and algae free, it does not look it. And did you see the "bull-nose" tile edging the pool? The pool man who came out and looked at the pool said that it needed to be drained, cleaned with muriatic acid, then refilled...to the tune of $1500. He also said that he'd never seen the edging do that. Of course what happened, is that tile is not sealed so that when it rained it became saturated and then when it froze, the water expanded and "popped" the tile. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we made our offer on the two-year old house (bank repossession), we deducted the value of the pool. The bank readily accepted our offer. I tried to get Sam to knock a couple of holes in it to fill it in. He didn't want to then and still, even though he complains about the pool, does not want to fill it in now. Our budget being what it is, it has to stay this way for a couple more years until my Tahoe is paid for. We are aiming at the winter of 2016 for a pool renovation. </span></span></span>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235135228498547949.post-8504388058396592802014-04-16T14:46:00.001-05:002014-04-16T14:46:19.463-05:00Birthday Boy!<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">February 9 was the beginning of my third BFF cruise. We were supposed to leave Galveston at 4 p.m. Unfortunately, our ship was stuck out in the Gulf waiting on the harbor master to open the port. It had been closed due to fog. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Our first warning was about 8:30 a.m. when Sam called to tell me that he'd had a call to let us know about the fog delay. Earlene got a text message. She and I both signed up for information.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We drove around Galveston and finally decided to eat some good seafood. While we were eating, one of the ships waiting was finally brought in. The restaurant had windows facing Galveston Bay and several tables' of people started cheering. We received notification that our ship, Carnival Magic, would not start boarding until 7 p.m. We had some wait time to kill so we went into a couple of stores and took the ferry. We were laughing and having a great time as I was pulled into the inspection line. I talked to the officer, he asked me to get out and open the back of my Tahoe. As the hatch came up I heard, "Tell him if he unloads, it he has to put everything back." (We had luggage and totes and etc. for five women back there!) The officer grinned and said that the other officer just needed to look. He asked where I worked. I smiled and told him that I was the administrative assistant for the Morris County Judge. He looked at me, then in the Tahoe. I told him that Nancy in the front seat was the administrative assistant for the Morris County Sheriff's office. The three sitting in the back seat: Earlene is the Daingerfield city librarian, Rosemary is a dispatcher for Gilmer, and Beckle was the troublemaker retired clerk from the Gregg County DAs office and her husband was a retired highway patrolman. He said, "You ladies continue having a great time." "D </span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We were worried that they would close the ferry, so as soon as we got off I pulled a "u"ey and got right back on. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We dropped the luggage off at the terminal about 7 p.m., parked the Tahoe, and took the shuttle back to the terminal. We got split up. Two got onboard about 10:30. We all finally got onboard and to the room after midnight. They had already eaten so we went up to the Lido deck for plates of food and went back to the room to eat.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The ship was hooking it back to Galveston when Saturday night the Captain announced that there was a guest with a medical emergency. We turned and headed toward the coast of Louisiana to get in helicopter range for a medi-evacuation. We never heard how she was doing so prayed that she is well and safe. That put us about 3 hours late...but no one was complaining...arriving in Galveston. But of course the port was closed due to fog again. We finally got into port at 10 a.m. when we should've already been off the ship. We were off by noon and headed home stopping only for a hamburger, potty breaks, and fuel (so that everyone could square up what they owed for the trip).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">This is my last cruise. I do enjoy it, but since we are not all "on the same page" finance-wise, we don't do many (any) excursions. I have decided seeing only the pier and the tourist traps surrounding it is not my idea of visiting a foreign port. I want to truly SEE it. One of the others said that they would just go without me...I told her my feelings would not be hurt. However, two of the others have health problems and the long walking is too tiring for them. We are talking about driving trips - at least three of us would like to go to Fredericksburg Texas for a long weekend. Maybe Hot Springs... or New Orleans but not during Mardi Gras. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">located just east of our public library it is a Henley family home and now owned by Don Henley of The Eagles...</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Sam and I were blessed to spend a few days with the grandson while their mother was out of the country with her job. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Read Colt's shirt. Every shirt I found had "Grandmother" or "Grandma" or "Grammy." NONE had "Granny." So...I broke out my trusty embroidery machine and made him one.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">OH! Sam with the cutting boards he made for Brook and John for Christmas. Jonathan is in a camper and has no room but I think he's put in an order for a knife block. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Isabel turned THREE! She wanted a pirate party and her favorite color (of the day) is yellow. Guests were encouraged to dress in their pirate finery. I hoped Sam would agree...then one day he asked if I'd make him a big shirt. WELL YES! It even has 3 inch lace at the cuffs AND he has on a pierced-look hoop earring. :D</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I dug in the back of my closet...found a dress with a denim skirt. Unbuttoned the skirt and pinned the points at the waist. I had a yellow gingham skirt from old-fashioned day at church about 25 or so years ago...had to add some elastic to the waist. I was going to make a corset and decided that would be too time consuming. Would you believe you can buy a brand new made-to-order corset on eBay for $10??? </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">A few yellow sashes...Jonathan's rubber band gun for my pirate pistol and Sam made a wooden cutlass for his weapon. Arrrgggghhh! Matey! What colors be ye a flyin'?</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Well...birthday girl preferred to run wild through the house. When I nabbed her for the photo, she went limp. Me thinks this pirate has been in the rum and needs keel-hauled. ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Jonathan's storage unit was robbed. Two weeks after the last time he was in the unit (locating his big shirt that I made for him to wear to Celtic and Renaissance festivals), I found the lock gone. One big plastic foot-locker type tub held his dad's stuff...Jonathan was just shy of his thirteenth birthday when his dad died.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We were both scouring Facebook resale/man cave sites. I was checking eBay and Craig's List a couple of times a day. Jonathan found one of these knives for sale...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I scrolled down and found another item that belonged to him. When I clicked on the thief's FB page...he had no privacy settings. He bragged about his dumpster diving and about stuff that people threw away...photos of three more of Jonathan's belongings were posted and mention of a fourth. Law enforcement was contacted. Thanks to his non-existent privacy settings, a warrant was served, he was arrested, many - probably most of the stolen items were recovered.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">But not all. My first husband's memorial book from the funeral is gone as is my son's first best friend, Freddy. ;)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Many other items are gone as well. Jonathan will be making a list so that the judge will know what is still missing...including his toolbox and tools...</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was sitting in the Tahoe between lab/doctor appointments reading my Kindle when I looked out the window. LOOK at the coloration of this tree trunk! Trees are not just brown!!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In preparation of going to stay with the grandsons while there mother was out of the country with her job... (Poor thing went to Naples, Italy!) (Poor thing, this was the first time she was away from her sons for that length of time!) ...I bought some sausage made at the local locker plant. Their seasoning mix has no nitrates which is something the grands' parents are trying to stay away from with their food. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I kept telling them that you could find something that tasted better and had a better texture that the chicken weinie sausages that they are feeding my grandsons. </span><br />

She said that in one of her meetings she saw one of the district judges. He told her a tattooed biker chick was running her office. :D </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back on March 4 I sprained my ankle while in College Station TX. I am approaching nine months since the incident. The ankle is still a bit stiff. However, I am in heels again! YAY!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I went from flats to low heels to mid heels. (FYI - I do not wear hooker heels so we're not talking much over 2 1/2 inches...maybe 3 inches but I really doubt that any heel I have is that tall.)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Every so often I would put on my taller heels and walk down the hall. Ummm...nope...not yet. About six weeks ago I started wearing heels around the house. Really. I looked real cute wearing my heels with shorts. And jeans. Not to mention sweats. ;) But it has worked. I've worn heels to church for three weeks now. And tomorrow...TOMORROW...I am wearing a pair of my most comfortable heels to work. :D I am so proud of myself.</span>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235135228498547949.post-29020922039985138222013-10-18T21:38:00.001-05:002013-10-18T21:51:32.306-05:00Sunrise <span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Winter is coming on and the days are shorter. Where just a few weeks ago, it was daylight when I woke, now it is dark. It is still dark after I am dressed and ready for work. I walked into the kitchen this morning for breakfast. As I passed through, I saw the red glow of the rising sun through the trees on the east side of the house.</span><br />

I purchased three pieces. Get this...a square skillet and the round one below were marked $4. When I paid out...they were HALF PRICE! These are American made cast iron. The third purchase at another store was a Dutch oven for $18. I am really excited about the Dutch oven. It is THE name in old collectible cast iron - Griswold. :D Price in an antique store would have been $50 - $80 even without a lid.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Photo before cleaning and seasoning. Doris (friend in Colorado) could not believe I bought these as rusty as they were. Her husband told her, Oh yeah. They will clean up and look like new.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did not need the skillets but look at every piece I see in junk/resale stores for American made at a good price for the kids. At our stop-off at John and Erin's on the way home I offered them one of the skillets - they picked the square skillet that did not need seasoning.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">That left this skillet for Brook. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">A couple of weekends ago, I decided to set my oven on the cleaning cycle. GREAT time to burn off cast iron if you don't have a brush pile to burn. I grabbed the lid that fits my chicken fryer - which also fits my new Dutch oven - and tossed it in the oven too.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon yeast (I use more like 3/4 teaspoon)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">1 1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">1 1/2 cup water</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Mix all. Dough will be shaggy. Spray or wipe some oil on a piece of plastic wrap. Press on top of dough and leave on countertop 12 - 18 hours.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">When you are ready to bake it, flour your hands and scoop it out on a floured surface. Very lightly knead the dough. Leave it on the floured surface and cover with a towel. After 30 minutes turn your oven to 450 degrees and put your cast iron pot and lid in the oven for 30 minutes. After the cast iron has heated, remove from oven and gently dump dough into the pot; cover with a lid and return to oven. Bake with lid on for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake an additional 15 minutes or until browned enough.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Somewhere I have photos of my newest cast iron purchases. When I find the photos, I will post them.</span>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235135228498547949.post-62881775977662597192013-10-07T11:44:00.000-05:002013-10-07T11:44:18.709-05:00Tomato Soup<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sam was out-of-town a couple of weekends ago attending a three-class lunch reunion in Bay City Texas. I cleaned house for two straight days. I got a few other things accomplished as well as watched a couple of movies.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I watched the latest Star Trek movie. I laughed all the way through Grease. I think it was because I subbed at high school for five years. The kids are THE SAME! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I wanted to cook something light. Earlier I ran across a recipe for roasted tomato soup...so that's what I cooked. DELICIOUS!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The only tomato soup I knew anything about was Campbell's tomato. That's enough to turn anyone off of tomato soup! On vacation one year, Sam and I ate at Crystal Lodge in Lake City Colorado. The French-trained chef prepared tomato bisque soup for the first course. First bite sold me on tomato soup!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">This recipe is simple:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">4 tomatoes, quartered</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">1 medium onion, sliced thick</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">3-4 garlic cloves, halved</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Roast at 350-400 degrees for 30 or so minutes. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">While that is in the oven, slice some good bread - I used a couple of slices of the bread I cooked in my "new" Dutch oven...photos will follow. Spray/sprinkle with olive oil and toast almost to crouton stage in your cast iron skillet.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Remove from oven, add 1 cup vegetable broth. You can blend in a food processor in batches or with a stick blender...I did the stick blender. Add salt, pepper, basil, any other Italian seasoning to taste.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Ladle into serving bowl, top with toasted bread. Sprinkle with bleu cheese and a spoonful of olive bruschetta.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">DELICIOUS!</span>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235135228498547949.post-54152041210004338682013-10-06T20:40:00.000-05:002014-04-16T15:05:43.017-05:00October to-date<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The photos did not load in order...so I will be hopping around.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cody, Brook, Isabel, and Jonathan all came to the family reunion. I had to be careful at the reunion and watch what I ate because Brook had notified me that if it was okay she wanted to cook supper for us. Well YES! She pounded chicken breasts and rolled up around basil and mozzarella and seasonings...popped in the freezer to firm for a few minutes...then the flour, egg, bread crumb process and baked it then topped with a red wine mushroom sauce. I had the salad fixings: mixed greens, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, feta cheese, and a homemade vinaigrette. My homemade bread was sliced, buttered, seasoned and toasted. For dessert we had cannoli pie (cannoli filling in a baked pastry shell. MERCY!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Isabel and Jonathan played. He said that her idea of taking turns stacking dominoes and knocking them down was for him to stack them and she would knock them down. Then he would tell her that it was her turn. She would lay down one domino then tell him that it was his turn! ;-)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I made a couple of things for Isabel...a jumper...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiPUmCOuIsGjl_M3Rw13hMs9V3NNXATFp8FGis5bkl-LN1SlLJQjVPct2K6jqChWNBrnRX5y4j0iGhnyCSWV1NIsYnjgJL2MYZ3Mi45Fl2pGRu3uifH0pd8iJGFaejMlSCSYU8Z5hrUw/s1600/Dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiPUmCOuIsGjl_M3Rw13hMs9V3NNXATFp8FGis5bkl-LN1SlLJQjVPct2K6jqChWNBrnRX5y4j0iGhnyCSWV1NIsYnjgJL2MYZ3Mi45Fl2pGRu3uifH0pd8iJGFaejMlSCSYU8Z5hrUw/s320/Dress.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">...and a corduroy jacket. When Isabel saw the jumper, her eyes rounded. When she saw the jacket, she immediately hugged her arms and said, "I cold." She needed it Saturday evening and definitely Sunday morning! Isn't she such a cute model?! Yes. I think so too.</span><br />

The next day we headed out for Lake City Colorado. The following are in and around Lake City.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was sitting beside Sam on the couch the other day. His phone rang. Sam is a bit hard of hearing so he has the volume on the phone turned up pretty high. Even though I was on his right...and he was holding the phone to his left ear...I could hear Erin telling him that something came up and their babysitter had to cancel Saturday night. I just about got whiplash nodding my head...TELL HER YES!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We had supper...chicken brat (singular because I cooked only one for the kids to share...Sam and I don't care for chicken sausage), mac n cheese, steamed broccoli. Then Sam settled in for the NASCAR race. At one point he said, "I can't hear a thing."</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">So I said, "Boys, let's go for a walk." I received many instructions and probably forgot most of them. However, I did not forget, "If you go outside, do not let them wear their new shoes." I got Colt outfitted with a matching pair of old shoes. Every time I found a shoe and reached for its mate, I had to dig behind the hall bench where Cain was throwing them. I finally got a right foot shoe and a left foot shoe. They were not mates, but they were the same size. I do not know who they belonged to, but I put them on Cain's feet. :-)</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">(As you can see...we really got dressed up for our walk. The joys of country living!)</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Colt immediately showed off his climbing skills. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> When I looked out the living room window Sunday morning I saw three hummingbirds at the feeder. Grabbing the camera, I went outside and stood beside one of the porch pillars. Two of the hummers paid me no mind...the third would zoom in and out hovering just "over there" watching me, but never approaching the feeder.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He has a book reading light that is supposed to be clipped onto the pages of a REAL book. He wanted a slot for the clip. I made a long buttonhole...and he can clip it onto the plastic canvas.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had a "landmark" birthday mid-August. Yes my fine friends, I turned the big six-o...60. Where oh where did the years go? I am pleased to report that I did not fall apart! Neither mentally nor physically. :D I have no aches and pains. The right knee creaks a bit, buy my sister-in-law's knee has creaked since she was a teenager and she is still going strong at 56...so I'm not worried. Over the years, as I've hit "the" age, I have thought, "I am in better health than Mama when she was this age." I continually thank God that this has held to be the truth.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">When Sam and I married 16 years ago, I told him that I was not big on cut flowers...an expense to just throw away in a few days and I would rather got out someplace nice to eat or...just buy me CHOCOLATE! :D</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">So for my sixtieth birthday I was surprised for the third time since we married with a beautiful bouquet.</span></a><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kids in church...a few weeks back I mentioned about a little girl saying, "God bless you," to someone who sneezed during church. It was not a whispered blessing...it was a regular voice blessing. :-)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This morning a little girl down in front of us was singing.

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">there are the parents who do not get to hear a word of the singing or sermon because they spend the hour shushing their child(ren). I'm not talking about infants and toddlers who are learning how to act in church...I am talking about kids who are at the age that they should be sitting quietly. I do not know why this mother does not have a "bag of tricks" for the kids during church: sketch pad, colors, coloring book, story books, etc. ANYTHING to keep them quiet.</span></span></span></div>
