Yummy Treats!

Yesterday I made a Bread Pudding for a dinner invitation and I had oodles and gobs of Butterscotch Sauce left over which was not a bad thing. Using my amazing enginuity I quartered the recipe and made a microwavable single serving. Amazing!!!!!!

Bread Pudding

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/4 Tbsp. Butter

1/4 C. Half-n-Half or Milk

1/4 C. Sugar

1 Egg

2 Pieces Bread, Torn apart

Method: Melt Butter in small 4 C. microwave safe dish. Mix Egg, Vanilla and Sugar in seperate dish. Add Milk to mixture. Add Bread stirring softly till Breads coated. Poar into dish with Butter. Microwave till knife pierced in center comes out clean. About 2 min 40 secs.

It's sweet enough that you can eat it with or with out Butter Scotch Sauce.

I take it back

Um.....I decided not to take the job. I thought I could do it for a couple of months but on my way home after my first day of orientation I decided I'd rather slit my wrists. Which would be sad cause I'd miss Mike and all of you....So, the hunt begins anew.

The search is over....

I have been rehired by Davita. I'm very grateful that we will have an income!! Let the furniture buying commence. The clinic is very different from what I'm used to so I think tomorrow morning will be interesting. I will let you know how it turns out. I am getting a dollar pay raise awesome and words can't discribe the fluffy feelings I have for Benefits. I can go to the dentist!!!

We crave furniture!

This was before we found a desk chair for free but I think this accurately depicts our needs right now. Next on the list of things to get is a couch.

The Smile

I was wondering around on youtube again today when I found this video clip that Ashley Hone and I used to watch over and over again in high school and we called it "the smile". It's about half way through the clip when a boy and girl sing a love song. Part way through the guy gives this great smile, hence the name.

We loved it!!!! Being the swoony teenagers we were it was bedazzling! This is for you Ash!

the Holiday Season approaches!

Mark your calendars people we have 76 days till Halloween, 102 days till Thanksgiving, and 131 days till Christmas!! Start crafting and shopping for my presents now or you might get behind!!! PANIC PANIC!

One more thing. Did you know you can make home made microwave popcorn? I learned this from my sister-in-law Emily then did some research on google about it.

Step 1- Pour 1 quarter cup air pop popcorn in a paper lunch bag.

Step 2- If desired pour 1 Tbsp. olive oil in bag and salt to taste (you do not have to do this before poping, you may do it after or not at all. Oil is not necasary for poping).

Step 3- push air out of bag and fold down a couple of times (you can also fold once and put one staple in it. It will not spark but you still have to push out the air).

Step 4- Place in microwave and cook till 3-4 seconds lapses between pops.

Serve. It's yummy I promise!!!!

There is some amazing music out there

Today I was Youtubing some of my favorite songs from musicals and I stumbled upon the Schindler's List theme. It's one of my favorite compostitions of all time. It's so very sad but the music is so moving and beautiful to me that everytime I pop the CD in I listin to this song over and over again for an hour or so.

Itzhak Perlman is just so amazing and I had no idea until I watched the short interview before the song that John Williams composed it as well as Fiddler on the Roof another amazing composition.

I truely think that some talents are absolute gifts from God. How else would you be able to write something so transforming.
