Finally


Finally a few signs of fall around here!
If you look real close you can see just a bit of color other than green.
But the temperature are still close to 80*.

Tasty Tuesday

I had to order my Photography Book for school.

It was only $13.57.

With Amazon if you order $25.00 you get free shipping.

Big incentive to buy $25.00 worth, the free shipping.

I LOVE cookbooks!

I could not pass up this new cookbook by Pioneer Woman!

It cost less than the Photography book :) .

(The retail price is $27.50.)

It is wonderful!!

Her photography is well worth the 13 bucks not counting the wonderful recipes!

This is the first recipe I tried and I love it!
They were light and perfect.
Everyone needs a good pancake every now and then.
Try this one next time you won't be sorry!

Edna Mae's Sour Cream Pancakes

1 cup sour cream
7 Tablespoons all~purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Butter
Maple or Pancake syrup


Place the sour cream in a bowl. Dump in the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Stir together very, very gently. Stop short of the mixture being totally combined. You want the pancakes to have some interesting texture.

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.

Add the vannilla and stir to combine.

Pour the egg mixture into the sourcream/flour mixture.

Stir together gently. Don't worry about the mixture being totally combined. A little white and yellow swirling is fine.

Pour about 1/4 cup batter at a time into a hot skillet over medium-low heat.

Stack and enjoy!



This is the comment that my cousin Jennifer Rogers left on my post:

She came to Little Rock last week and me and a couple of girlfriends went up to meet her and get her to sign her cookbook! She is so adorable and she even brought her husband with her and he is very handsome! In fact we chatted and talked while waiting in line for 3 hours! And by the time we got up to the table to talk to her we were all silent and the only thing I could think to say was "Your husband is very handsome" :) I made the chicken fried steak with gravy and the potato skins for Joe and he was in heaven! He even told me that he was glad he babysat so I could go to the booksigning! I'm gonna have to try those pancakes they look great!

Pajama's

When did pajamas and slippers become acceptable Wal-mart shopping attire?
As I was standing in the check out lane around 10:45 pm
a child runs by in her pajamas
followed by a teenager
and then no less their mama!
All dressed in their pajamas and slippers???
Okay, I get that it is late, but Wal-Mart is still full of people!
???
Not appropriate!

Blustery Day

Just in case you were wondering, it's cold today.
Thanks to Ida.
She only left us with a few days of rain.
I thought you might like to know that it is 55* out side and the wind is blowing 13 mph with gusts up to 17 mph.
I know you are shocked! Try and soak it in will ya.
But no worry, Saturday is going to be back up to 81*
I can go back to complaining again.
It feels really nice.

The Winner Is...

The redneck Sweetheart pulled a name out of his hat and the winner is...
Ellen!!
I was surprised because Ellen won the Pecans I gave away last year!
She is one lucky pecan lady!
Congratulations Ellen!
Thanks everyone for playing along.

Friday Shoot Out

Friday Shoot Out
This weeks theme: Skylines
Chosen by Kate
Skyline:
S: (n) skyline (the outline of objects seen against the sky)
S: (n) horizon, apparent horizon, visible horizon, sensible horizon, skyline (the line at which the sky and Earth appear to meet)

I wouldn't call this much of a skyline but it's all I got from my photo archives.

These were taken through the truck window going 50 miles an hour.

I still think that they are pretty pictures and shows what a beautiful drive it is over the causeway from Brunswick to St. Simons Island.

No Place

Don't mean to offend anyone but chocolate chips have no place in Banana or Pumpkin Bread, cookies or muffins! No place at all, just sayin!!!
Don't think yall are reading that right!
