We (I) made beignets for Mother’s Day breakfast. Along with them we had strawberries, coffee, and orange juice. Yum!
I introduced my Grandson to them at Disneyland. He loves them as much as I do.
This was all that was left for my youngest daughter who had to work until 6:00 pm but I ate them before she could arrive! It was my day…
The recipe came from my mom’s book that my sister and I have fought over for years until she finally bought me a copy for my birthday. Farm Journal’s Homemade Breads. You can find it online for anywhere from $3.00 – $50.00. I believe it is out of print so…
Our eldest daughter, the grand-kids, her husband, and our son were all there to enjoy the day and yummies.
My husband is still down at UC Davis. Two weeks after his surgery (which was a roaring success) at his follow up appointment on Monday, they re-admitted him due to excess drainage and possible infection. Saturday the doctors decided to re-open him to clean out the site. They will do the same on Tuesday. Looks like it will not be until the end of the week at the soonest before he can come home. Boo hoo.
It has been pretty crazy here in my house for a while. I am behind on the thinning of my strawberries and will not continue as they have blossoms and fruit set already!
I weed wacked for the first time in my life. Kind of a fun chore once I got the hang of it. What was not so fun was the escargot farm I am raising! I was smart enough to wear long sleeves, pants, boots, a hat, and sunglasses but I wore snail goo anyway
Yesterday I dusted the gardens with diatomaceous earth to get rid of the soft bodied pests. I used a feather duster to do so. My sweet sister-in-law (my husband’s sister) told me this trick. Super easy and very useful info!
I am running the shop this week while my honey is gone. Guess I had best get a move on it!
Appreciate your day!
