Wondering where she is today? Was she here yesterday? Her posts are one of my favorites, as I get to see what everyone's up to.

Oh, I am here. I have been baking a strawberry rhubarb pie. I also baked a black raspberry pie to take to a friend tomorrow. I had leftover berries and I baked them into a cobbler. The kitchen smells good. I have strawberries to clean and the kitchen to clean up and Izzi is going to get a bath. It is cloudy and damp out. The temperature in central Indiana is 64. Yesterday was a day of weekly shopping with Amber. Tomorrow is a trip with Cheryl to visit her Father in law. We also plan on going to the new Joann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby. It will be another full day. I hope everyone is having a good day. Thanks for asking about me Kath.

I made a custard rhubarb pie last nite. It was so runny, it boiled over, and made a mess on my Silpat liner.
I didn't think it was even going to turn out i.e. taste good, but once it cooled and firmed up, oh boy it's good.

Cooold here today. Had the urge for slow-cooked pork and make shredded pork and barbecue sauce, but I only took the roast out this morning. So that's tomorrow's dinner.

Do you like and wear aprons?

One of my long time faves is made of a good quality blue jean material that is well worn and feels just like a great pair of old jeans. It is longer to about my knees and looks like a butchers bib style apron. I can not remember where I got it but it was used when I got it so probably at a thrift store. There is nothing I can do to hurt it and it just keeps looking better with age unlike myself lol It has metal grommets in the denim and the ties attach there. I assume it was made by someone. I love pockets on my aprons. That one does not have one. The one we made in home ec had 2 big ones along the bottom front. It was basically 2 large rectangles of fabrics all edges turned and sewn. Then stitch the two together at the top corners which gives you a boat neck type opening. Stitch a tie onto the front section on each side. And we added another section of fabric all along the bottom front to make the 2 pockets, stitch in the middle to divide it into 2 instead of one big one. You are fully covered front and back. I use it a lot because it is not as long and those big pockets are handy. You can make it as wide or long as needed.

Thank you everyone for your kindness. Yes, I am very busy right now. I think I go to Terri's everyday with Cheryl to feed the cats and get the mail and some times take lunch for when Terri and family are there. Tomorrow will probably be no different as the guys are planning on moving a lot of Terri's belongings to Mandy's. Terri is going to have to leave her home. So sad for them and us. I plan to bake a couple of pies in the morning to take and we will just have sandwiches and chips for lunch. This afternoon Kevin, Mike, Cheryl and Amber moved my chicken coop and joined up the old dog pen to the coop's little pen for my chickens. They are still pretty young so have to keep them in. When they are much bigger they can free roam. I took Alyssa on some rides on the big rig along with Izzi, KC and Lily. The sun was out but the wind to me was cold. We have named some of the chicks, Hyacinth, Rose, Violet, Daisy and Onslow so far :) Onslow is the little rooster. He was purchased by mistake. Have a few more to name. Thank you again. Sue

I am sure I would enjoy reading it and looking at the pictures with Alyssa. I don't have time this moment to look at her blog, but will try to do so later on. Thanks for thinking of me. I have never shared with a chicken though! Ha, ha. Sue

I'm glad your pie tasted good Sherry. I am anxious to try mine but too full from lunch to want any. No mishaps this time in the oven. I hate when that happens. I just put mine on a jelly roll pan to bake.

Last time I put it on a cookie sheet and had to soak the sheet forever. Figured the Silpat on the cookie sheet would work good. It got all burned syrup on it too, and had to soak it as well.

My Silpat is so oily I hate touching it. I only use it for roasting veggies and potatoes etc, never for cookies. (I have a different one)
I hate cleaning it though.

I was wondering where you were lately, Sue. Glad everything is okay there.

Try a piece of parchment paper or tinfoil on that cookie sheet under your pie. If you don't pick a hole it should just come off with a clean sheet under it. However, if you do use it your cooking will not overflow just to see if you are on your toes...it is when you don't and think you can get away with it ...ugh!!!!

Glad to see you're here! The only pies I bake are Mrs. Smiths or Sara Lee-lol.

Say, I think Mrs. Smith or Sara Lee and Marie Callender (not sure on the spelling) are pretty nice women too to bake all those nice pies for us to have!

Hi Sue,

As I've told you before, wish I still enjoyed baking/cooking like you do.

I think of you and your sweet Izzie every day. :)

Hugs,
