MAKIN' THE SAUCE

Some of the kids and I made some applesauce the other night. It takes a "lotta" apples to make just 2 quarts of applesauce! We've also been dehydrating them with cinnamon sugar on them. They are really good that way...

"Man Cold"

Check out the video on the right. This is SO true about CERTAIN men I know...ahem....Dad and Ed... Oh ~ I don't know why the bottom video got put on and I can't figure out how to get it off. Just ignore that one. The top three "Man Cold" videos are all the same, it doesn't matter which one you click on...

Thanks Mom and Dad!

My Mom and Dad made "hobo-dinners" for my twins once this summer and they LOVED it! For those of you who may not know what a hobo dinner is I'll explain...

Take a potato, a carrot or two, some sliced onions, a dab of butter and some salt and pepper. Wrap it all in some aluminum foil, plop it on a fire outside and let it cook for about a half hour or so. Voila! Delicious.

It's great going out to our new little fire pit and reading to the kids. I have a feeling it's going to become a new habit every fall...

Hobo dinner anyone?




There's nothin' like a fire in the fall!
