New Old Words

2010-09-05T17:54:00.000-07:00

Sara and I decided to start incorporating "old" words into our vocabularies--one word every day. Think of Jane Austen to Anne of Green Gables vocabulary with terms like huzzah, handsome (to describe a woman), indeed, mooning (as in longing for someone), etc. Try it out, it's quite fun and we've exchanged some fun texts as a result. Excuse me now, I must go moon over Matt Boomer.

Mmmmmm, Paris and quenelles (or lovingly referred to as chocolate ball soup)

2007-11-04T08:20:00.000-08:00

Mom,

thanks for the new update. we should start again. I want to start the monthly baking again too. Gwen, Sara, Martha let's get back into gear with this thing. what do you say?

Shoud we try again

2007-11-03T07:58:00.000-07:00

It is really fun to have Anna and family in town. She is working hard and doing a great job. Allen 3 and 4 were here Thursday night....checking out BYU and BYUI. They stopped to see Grandma too. Allen III is starting a new blog and when I went to sign up I came across our secret pocket. We should start posting again. xoxo momo aka nano

Knitting Book I saw

2006-05-07T17:38:00.000-07:00

The Yarn Girls Guide to Kid Knits - patterns for babies and toddlers
Julie Carlos and Jordana Jacobs
Clarkson Potter, Publisher
ISBN 1-400-5171-1

I saw this book somewhere and it looked fun...so if anyone has a need for a knitting book...check it out.

Graphic Ideas for Anna Bright

2006-05-01T15:04:00.000-07:00

The one that is triangles and shapes would have possibly rainbow colored stripes. The onen with the big overlapped letters could be colored in and designed something like the "G". The darkest one is a font that I kinda liked.

Irish Soda Bread and Non-Irish Kids

2006-03-25T12:37:00.000-08:00

Irish Soda Bread and Cheese and Tomato Galette

2006-03-19T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well here they are. They were both really good. The Soda Bread and so easy to make and it tasted really good.

More fun photos

2006-03-13T14:53:00.000-08:00

Grandpa, Clara and Daisy and George...
James and Sophie's place is the center one partly hidden by the tree. Can you find James?

Thumbprint cards I made for Sophie to use

2006-03-12T17:22:00.000-08:00

Yummy Gallette-I should have made two, my family liked it a lot more than I anticipated. They have not been appreciative of my previous projects. But the good news is I am getting a new mixer to replace the one that broke on the wheat bread. It better be able to handle it!

NAUGHTY BUNS

2006-03-03T09:44:00.000-08:00

NAUGHTY BUNS! NAUGHTY BUNS!

scones, whole wheat bread, potato pizza

2006-03-02T16:31:00.000-08:00

The potato pizza was tasty. Try it, but make sure you use more potatos than I did and more olive oil and rosemary.

The whole wheat bread that broke my mixer. I thought the bread was tasty, but not delicious enough to sacrifice a mixer.

The scones were delish, I still have some in my freezer Mmmmmmmm.

2006-03-02T11:07:00.000-08:00

Daisy arranged these for me, and took the picture. The bread turned out tasty. I am making the brioche dough today.

Buttermilk scones

2006-02-15T13:01:00.000-08:00

Don't the scones look good? Aren't you jealous of the yummy strawberry shortcake? That was our Valentines day dessert. They tasted really good too! Just to let you know I ended up using 2 extra Tbls. of buttermilk in the batter.

Repro Fabric

2006-02-15T08:45:00.000-08:00

Hey Girlies!

I found an AWESOME website today.

http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/

Check it out, there's some really fun stuff in the 'Depression Era' category. I didn't get to look through much of anything else but I'm itching to do some more browsing.

Starting a trend

2006-02-14T12:53:00.000-08:00

I told my friend about our weekly recipe trial and our blog. She got so excited she wants to do it with her sister. Can we patent this idea, make some money, and then retire near each other?

Kakat

2006-02-12T20:50:00.000-08:00

Here's my Kakat! I forgot that moths attacked my sesame seeds so I didn't have any to put on top. They were still tasty.

2006-02-11T18:17:00.000-08:00

My Ka'kat. It was fun and easy. It was a lot like French Bread to me.

Lucy's birthday party was fun. This is her pink treasure chest birthday cake. Peter and Lucy and a couple of friends dressed up as pirates for her party.

Challah

2006-02-09T19:02:00.000-08:00

I made challah again today so I thought I would post a picture of it since I didn't get to last time. It's a little over-done. Daisy said that it looked and smelled better than it tasted.

Sara's Goods

2006-02-08T07:44:00.000-08:00

Yummy eclairs! Peter ate 5 all in a row. I had to stop him before he made himself sick.

I had to take a picture of them before they were sliced and frosted because they are just golden and gorgeous!

I think the kids look yummier than the eclairs!

Here I am.

2006-02-05T20:33:00.000-08:00

Check out my goods. I used a vanilla pudding recipe from How to Cook Everything. It is good. I used part of my 8 dollar vanilla bean. I didn't love the chocolate topping. Anna's looks like it turned out a little thicker. What should we make next? Did we already decide? This is fun. Martha helped me fill them and she did the artistic arranging for the picture.

Choux paste pefection

2006-02-05T17:10:00.000-08:00

Don't these look tasty. I liked the pudding recipe from Betterhomes more than the black bottom banna recipe, FYI.

Yes, where is Gwen!

2006-02-05T09:06:00.000-08:00

Isn't Seth cute. Clara was student of the month last month, her first one. Isn't she cute too!

Where is Gwen?

2006-02-04T13:13:00.000-08:00

Barkeeper's Friend

2006-02-04T13:08:00.000-08:00

It has done some amazing things for me in the past few days...permanent marker came off the bathroom counter...wahoo! Sara, try it on your oil cloth...you will have to find a place that sells it, I guess.

Another thing that was doing good stuff for me was orange cleaner. I used it on the top of the stove and it softened things right up. I might have used it "straight"...it was already in a spray bottle.

And what kind of blog is this if no one is every going to post anythinig? hmmmm?

cookie cutters

2006-02-02T21:50:00.000-08:00

I am purging my cookie cutters. Here is what I have if anyone wants them...
1 large moose
1 large reindeer (bigger than the moose)
1 blue bird
1 cardinal
1 unicorn
1 nice sized candy cane
1 mini candy cane
1 mini angel
1 mini snowman
1 mini bear
1 mini gingerbread boy/1 mini gbread girl
1 interesting pumpkin
1 duck or it could be a goose
1 ghost
1 penguin
1 snowman
1 pig
1 man/maybe a different version of a gbread boy
1 spade - upsidedown it looks like a heart with a stem - you could punch a hole in the stem and make heart cookies to hang

Beautiful Mom with beautiful cake

Challah Bread

Rustic Potato Loaves

Sister's Summit

2006-02-02T12:33:00.000-08:00

So, I'm thinking that we should all save our nickels and dimes so that we can take a Sisters Vacation! (With mom too of course!) Maybe New York for a little sight-seeing and some Broadway Musicals? The place is up for discussion of course. I'm thinking we should plan for sometime in 2008. What say the people?

2006-02-02T12:01:00.000-08:00

check out my bread! And what about the cute boy.
