Let's give it the paddles!

Okay, Girls! Hand me the paddles and stand back, because I am reviving my blog! As you can see, my last post was somewhere around September. Life got crazy after that. Our house quickly sold, we moved, and life just got in the way. I barely had time to cook, or talk...okay, I still had time to talk, but I didn't have time to bake something, take a photo of it and write a recipe. I don't have that much time now, but I have found myself giving out recipes verbally, realizing I could just post them to my blog! :)

For all of my friends who enjoy a story or two with a recipe along the way, tune in from time to time and I hope to give you something you enjoy.

As you all know, we are enjoying life in the country! I have learned so far that if you let a 10-year old drive a riding lawn mower you run the risk of him running over some prized landscape possessions, trying to use it has his personal car, and that your lawn may not be mowed, but you sure have some nice tire tracks in your yard! We don't have a horse yet but we have chicks! Two have left us already for the great beyond...guess life in our chicken coop just doesn't look that promising to them. Hopefully we will get an egg or two out of the deal when all is said and done. :)

If anyone saw a nuclear sized fire plume blowing sky high from our backyard this weekend, have no fear. We were not in any DIRECT danger. We were just doing a little tree trimming and burning Wickstrum Style. In our family....or should I say my husband's....we have no time for matches and simple fires. Ya gotta get that baby burning with a gallon or two of diesel fuel! My husband thinks he now has a nice "tan" out of the deal.....they way I see it, he has two less eyebrows and the glow on his cheeks is just from standing too close to the fire.

I have a few good recipes I have tried that I hope to post soon. One is a great Asian Turkey Lettuce cup, maybe a lime cake recipe...gotta try that one first and some homemade chicken nugget recipes. :) Stay tuned. :)
