A Thorn Among Roses

in this house, everybody loves some pancakes...especially mickey mouse pancakes! oh yes, i am THAT talented. you should be jealous! ha! so on saturday morning, when hubs was in france, i pulled out the griddle and made some girlies happy...and on our new plates! {what do you think?} it was very quiet...can you even believe that? lots of licking fingers... and super happy girlies and mommy too! and who says we don't eat our feelings? i mean, they were QUIET!!!

around these parts, the apples don't fall far from the tree when it comes to the dessert snackage... my little chef, jada, and my helper, sofia, and i got our baking on while ryan and the other girls were hanging out. the new discovery...licking the s patula. and she got every single spec she could get off that thing! i'm more of a sofia kinda girl...why lick the spatula? especially when there's an entire pan of batter? why waste time on the small stuff! i like the way that girls thinks! and i would have a picture of the brownies, but yeah, we ate them very, very quick. and they were soooo delicious...and fun to make too!

i have been teaching paige some easy, tried and true fam recipes...white gravy, deviled eggs, fried potatoes, etc.  deviled eggs is one of her favs and she really does a fab job making them... when the eggs come out fully cooked. she boiled 3 eggs and when she cracked the first one, the yolk was still gooey.  i told her it was no problem, just put them in the microwave for a few seconds and the yolk would cook right up. and when i heard this loud explosion, i knew that i left out a few details 1. crack the other two eggs 2. place a paper towel over the egg bowl 3. think and...yes, she did clean it all up.  laughing the whole time.
