Food!

I love trying new things. Saturday after a visit with my wonderful Sister the children had a chance to make bird nests. I bought all the candy around Easter, but never took time to make them. Everyone loved them!

Then yesterday I decided that hamburgers cooked on the charcoal grill would be great for dinner. So what better to go with awesome hamburgers that Beloved makes then homemade hamburger buns! These were awesome! Oh my..but they were too big. I followed the directions and it said to divide the dough into 12 pieces, but next time I will try at least 15 pieces. Can't wait to make them again. :D
**Edited...yes the bird next are rice krispies just made into a mound and the pushed an indentation in the center. I will see if I can get permission to post the recipe for the buns. ;)

Those birds nests are so cute. Is the nest from rice krispy treat type stuff? What recipe did you use for the buns? I would love to see it.

You don't like my "big" buns huh? gonna make them smaller huh? Put them on a diet? HMPH! LOL
I guess it depends on how big you make your patties. Never thought of that. We make 1/4 lb patties and use very very lean ground venison so they don't even shrink much. Maybe I'll add a note at the bottom of the recipe 12 for big burgers 15 for smaller :D

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
