Getting ready to start our Christmas baking.  DW wants to make her hot cinnamon  apple upsidedown cake, but she can’t find the recipe.  I know it uses apple rings and red hot candies.  The red hots are melted in water, then the apple rings are added  to the water to soak up the flavor.  Can any one help??  If she does find it later, I’ll post it.

Yestrerday, one of my daughters high school buddies died.  He said he was having trouble breathing, but didn't want to go to the hospital.  He didn't make it through the night.  I just want to remind everybody that if you are having trouble breathing, GET TO THE HOSPITAL!!!  Forget about the cost, or how somebody might be inconvienced, or embaresment if nothing is wrong.  All those things are Read more [...]

Grandaughter wanted something to eat, so we made some crepes together.  She kept  asking DW if she wanted some.  She said no, she didn’t like crepes.  I make crepe batter the same way I make pancake batter.   The only diffrence is that I add more milk and an extra egg.  DW loves my pancakes, but doesnt like my crepes?  I don’t get it.  What’s the diffrence?????  I love my wife……

School year ended and my daughter moved out with her kids and moved in with her new man.  DW and I had the house to ourself.  It was great.  They broke up today.  She moved out of his place and back in with us.  At least I’ll get to see my grandkids more…………………

DW decided to buy a soda stream.  It works just like they say it does.  We have even mixed flavors to come up with new flavors.  Grapefruit cola for one.  You can adjust the amount of fizz in it too.  The problem is with the cost.  They say it's cheaper, it's not.  The cost of the syrup here is about 41 cents.  They don't mention the cost of the CO2.  Add that cost and it come out to $1.83 Read more [...]
