A Few Pictures To Share

14 years ago

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to show you my cast iron skillet in action. I haven't used it much but today we used it to fry up some pepper bacon for BLT's. Here it is. Boy was it ever good!

I also wanted to include a picture of this. I know it's early but I thought you guys wanted to see it before it was all gone and dad has to work on the big day. I haven't eaten a piece yet, but mom and dad are lol. You're all welcome to a slice too!

I love your cast-iron skillet Brad! I wish mine had the other little handle that yours has.

I'm not a cake lover at all, but yours looks good! When are you going to dive in?

Happy early birthday, Brad! That is a beautiful cake. Mmm, and bacon, too! It doesn't get better than that.

Marina, well, keep them coming! Great photos. It looks like you have done a masterful job of pruning your Jacques Cartier. What a lush, perfect plant. And then there's those great blooms to top it all off. Randy

Michelle, with so many beauties, I cannot choose a favorite. I know PLEASE SAY YES is a winner, but I lost mine over winter 2006 and haven't gotten around to replacing it. Sure is a stunner! Nancy

Thanks, everyone. I'm grateful to have any flowers this summer. Dave, I'm in Texas, land of the perpetual high pressure system. The whole state is in an exceptional drought; every weather system passes us by but dumps rain on our neighbors east, west, north and south. They say the extremely dry soil is what's making the heat even worse. By about 3pm everyone around here wants to take a nap! Dave P., that is JL Tornado, so I'm pretty excited to see the flowers in the future. All those seedlings have flourished where some other varieties had a lot of weak babies. K, if I had to do it again I would use more of that Pride of Barbados around the yard as a xeric. It's very tough and so cheerful despite only a watering every 7-10 days and being in full sun most of the day. No pests, either.

persnickety, Good to see your floorplan again. I really like the flow of it. There are so many nice and well thought out spaces like the cubbies off the garage and the kitchen. We have our fingers crossed that we are about 4 weeks out. Stone guys come tomorrow to measure and they are finishing up interior paint and cabinet installation. We still have to do tile (not a lot of it, but they are estimating some unGodly amount of time to complete), finish over 2000 sq ft of hardwoods, have the trades back to put in electrical and plumbing fixtures, set appliances and counters. The list is getting shorter, but I'm afraid of all the small delays that add up in the end... I'm starting to pack our rental today. (Actually, I'm hanging out on GW trying to avoid packing). We will be transferring to new temporary housing the first week in August. This time, it will probably be an extended stay hotel. Each move will just make us a little bit more appreciative of the new house.

Thank you, everyone! My birthday's not until Tuesday but we had to celebrate it today.

Jasdip, if I feel a craving for a slice, I just might eat some today lol.

LindaC, actually I'll be 22 and I did count 22 candles on the cake. They're so close together that I can see why you counted 21 LOL.

I opened my presents today too. I actually did get one cooking related gift: Ree Drummond's (The Pioneer Woman) cookbook-The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes From An Accidental Country Girl. Mom and I watch her show all the time. :)

Making bacon is a good way to get a nice coat of season on the cast iron.

Whoever picked the cake has a good sense of color. I like the color scheme.

Cake & bacon. Breakfast of champions! Sounds like a great cookbook you received. Enjoy it and happy cooking.
