Deliciousness!!

September 20th, 2010

Hooray for Christina and David getting married!!
We had them over yesterday for dinner and dessert.

And I mean both.
Together.
Combined.
In one.

Dinner and dessert that is.

This is one of my childhood favorites made by our affectionately named Mam!

My dear friend Cassie's mother.

Warning: This is thick and rich and delicious.

This is on the no list of every diet EVER! And will probably cause you to gain 10 pounds by smelling it.

But it is SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!

Chocolate gravy and biscuits:

Key players here:

Cocoa powder and Evaporated milk!

Start by melting 1/2 cup butter in a pot

Add in 4 Tblsp Cocoa powder

and 1/4 cup flour

Stir continuously!

Stir in 3/4 cups sugar and 2 cups evaporated milk.

I just used one can.

It's really important to keep stirring, because now it gets thick and you dont want it to over cook!

Bake biscuits as directed on packaging.

Drizzle, or glop, chocolate gravy on top.

Enjoy with a LARGE glass of milk!

Photobooth!

September 8th, 2010




One of the great things about having a webcam is taking pics on it.
They aren't always the best quality, but it's handy!

P.s. I'm feeling better!

Green and Yellow

September 6th, 2010

So yesterday was probably the worst day of my life.
I was sicker than sick.
Thank goodness I had Brandon there to take care of me and my issues.
Seriously guys, you don't even want to know!

Thankfully I am feeling much better!
Thank you to everyone for the prayers and well wishes!

And now for something not sick...

CUPCAKES!!

Happy Birthday Brandon!!

September 4th, 2010

Today is Brandon's 25th Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you to everyone who came and to those who helped with food!!

And a big thanks to my Mom who made this AWESOME Pinata!!





Of course Ducks themed!!

Origianlly we were gonna have a Ducks viewing party but Brandon read the time wrong and it was on earlier than the party. So we watched a different game but we still had all yellow and green things.



Here's Brandon holding his pinata. I told him to look happy.

And doesn't he!?

Sightings!

Happy 90210 day!

________________________________________________________________________________

You guys!
I have been having these strange feelings that we are not alone in the apartment.

Sometimes I will here these feet softly padding across the ground.

Other times I will be sitting on the couch and I will hear this scratching noise on the back deck.

A few nights ago I was laying in bed about to drift off to sleep when all of a sudden I was jolted awake by this "presence" at the end of the bed. Like a 10 pound weight was added.

There have been times when it is really quiet that I can swear I hear this almost purr like noise!

For the longest time I thought I was going crazy. But I have recently come to believe that we are in fact housing another "presence" in our apartment.

I had a few days off this week and I spent some of that time steaked out on the couch with my camera ready to see if I could discover if these strange occurances where coming from a solid creature.

Finally after hours of painstaikingly waiting in one position, I heard that soft padding noise and something that sounded very much like purring.

I carefully turned my camera on as quiet as I could, I raised it to eye level and then sneezed!!!

But I did manage to snap this photo before the creature ran off!



Hopefully I will be able to steak out the couch again in hopes of catching this creature again!

Who doesn't like cake!?

September 1st, 2010

Come on Oregon! Just because it's September doesn't mean that summer has to leave!!!!
grrr....

Anyways...

Today at school I did a project which raised a few eyebrows on some adult faces, and a few kids too.

But HA!! We should them didn't we kids!?

Kids: ...* crickets chirping *....

Me: Aaaanyways, since it seems I'm on my own on this one.

I asked the kids at work, or really, their parents to bring in micorwavable coffee mug by September 1st. I gave them a week and a half.
Plenty of time.
So of course there were only 6 out of 16 kids that actually had them.


Parents: "Bye sweetie! Have a good day!"
Me: "Did you bring a mug for today?"
Kids: "No. (almost crying) Am I not gonna do our project!
Me: "No, you can still make it, I brought extra."
Kids: "yeay!"
Parents: "Oh, they are supposed to have a mug? I had no idea. Well bye!"
Me: ... unamused face ....

So here we are with most of my own cups and we are making cake in our coffee mugs!


Here's what you do.

1.Make cake mix. Follow the instructions. It can be any kind.

2.Mix in instant pudding. This can also be any flavor.

3.Grease your mug.

4.Pour in 1/2 cup of batter.

5.Microwave for 2 min.

CAREFUL!! It's Hot!!

6.And enjoy.!!

You can also add chocolate chips in the batter or marshmallows.


And there you have a delicious treat!!
Yum yum!



Oh and don't rely on the parents to remember anything!
