Laundry Day

It's that time again. 1/2 cup of washing soda, 1 cup of borax, 1/2 bar of Fels Naptha, 2 - 5 gallon buckets, and a lot of hot water. Sadly though my little scullery made is not here to help out.

That Was Then, This Is Now

Two eggs Sunday and four on Tuesday.

Yogurt, Yoghurt, Yoghourt!!!

Well, somebody left me alone with the Internet again! I was researching whether or not sugar negatively affected the live cultures in yogurt directly and stumbled on something.

I CAN MAKE YOGURT FROM COCONUT MILK!!!

I can also make it with soy milk, almond milk and peanut milk (not so sure about that last one, but one can dream).

Ritorna Mi Bialetti

Broke out the Bialetti this morning. Pearce loves the produce as much as his Daddy. Only two things would have made the morning coffee better. Real espresso roast in the Bialetti and a roof over the deck (or patio) to sit outside in the rain.

My Little Jedi Knights

Yard sales rock. Got the purple LS and a red one, too. Also got Pearce a present to give Claire Bear for her Bday. All for $4.

Claire Loves the Yogurt Pops

Claire threw a fit when I tried to tell her she would have to wait for them to thaw enough to get them out of the form. She loves these things.

Turkey Trot

This fella followed his cousins example and ran across the by-pass today.

A Kitchen Aid to Aid in the Kitchen

We got a new to us Kitchen Aid dishwasher today. We are so happy. It's so nice to have the conveniences of modern life.

Marley, Jacob Marley

That boy is his father's son.

Monstrous, Just Monstrous

Pearce and I went down to Roswell last weekend and this what he came back with. Pman got to hang out with Aunt Becky for a while Saturday. When we left Aunt Becky's after supper she gave him the boxes from some snacks. On was a matching game he got to cut out (with help). The other was a pair of of Monster's Inc. monster feet to be cut out and colored. The cool thing is you run your shoe strap through them to hold them on. Pearce loves them.

"He done WHAT in his cup?"

For the uninitiated, Piston Cup is what the Dynamic Duo call Steak and Shake. If you will observe the S&S logo on Claire's "cooking hat" it resembles Doc Hudson's and Lightning McQueen's trophy quite closely. Pearce dubbed S&S the Piston Cup around the 38th or 39th time he saw Cars.
