Sounds great! I'll let you know how they come out. Thanks!

I think they are so strict on her because she is an only child. I was the same way with my first. I would parcel out her Easter basket to her a little at a time. Now I'm like...eat it all in one day please and lets get the hidden wrapper phase and the hyperactivity over and done with. ha I relax all the healthy eating rules on the holidays. My kids thought they were in hog heaven with all the desserts, candy and sodas at their disposal, but this week it's back to being health conscious. I just drew a blank, was it you who is expecting another grandbaby? It's so nice today as long as the sun is out. I had to take my mom to the eye dr unexpectedly this morning. Part of her vitreous gel stuff in her eye detached from the optic nerve. They thought she had a detached retina, but it's not that bad although without treatment she could go blind. She was getting floaters and flashes in her eyes and she has a dark spot that she sees on one eye. He said that will fade in about 3 months. Anyway, we had lunch and stopped at the TS on the way home. I got some books and what looks like a hand carved oblong wooden bowl and a long peg board for a buck. Got chatting with a woman in there and I was thinking about you. Was wondering if we'd met like that in a TS if we'd have walked past each other or hit it off. ha She showed me all her finds, some she was buying for an elderly woman that didn't get out much and some very pretty glass vases that were a different almost turquoise blue color. Again I thought of you and your totems. She invited me to her community yard sale in May. I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for it in the paper. We didn't stay long so I managed to keep my purchases to a minimum. ha When we got home the sun was warming things up so much that I put on shorts and DH and I went out and laid on the hammock. We were out there for about an hour and the sun went behind the clouds and I got cold and had to come in. ha It was nice while it lasted. Warm weather will soon be here and I'm looking forward to it. Ready to do yard work and add a few new things to our yard. Maybe we'll get that firepit done this year, the playground area and the back flower beds put in??? I hope anyway. ~Anj

These are the kind of pinwheels I have made. Sometimes with various ingredients depending on what I have available. Easy and good. Also good are roll ups, a flour tortilla spread with some type of cheese spread or cream cheese, layer on top sliced ham, sliced cheese, some people put pickles and olives. Then roll up the tortilla and slice it into rounds. Pinwheels

We will be back to shopping in the freezer for brothy soups and seafood chowders after this plays out. Julia's braising makes a CityHam just perfect. Draws out some salt. Made up a dry rub for the ham and for the beans this morning. Bit of a Turkish kick with some spices i have. Toast and warm up in some maple sugar i think. Winging it. I'll take some meat from the hock end for the beans. Biscuit recipes are all over the place. Make them so rarely. One fold and roll out...7 folds and roll out....never roll out, but that is a drop biscuit. (Mom Nelly's method). Rest for an hour, never rest, lol. I do know not to use a thick edge drinking glass and never spin-cut. I'll find something. I only have my EnglishMuffin rings. BigDaddy size. Tin can is fine...like the ones for beans. BananaCream Pie?! Mom Nelly had a Diner and was expert in pies. That was my favorite.
