Teigan the Indian

Kindergartens were to be Indians today and the first graders pilgrims and they will have a feast together.  Allen and I did the costume.  Skirt should of been solid brown but got this for the headband and so much left I did a skirt from it.

Coconut Custard Pie

I ran across this recipe this past summer and have made it several times.  Took it to work yesterday.  They love it.

1/2 cup bisquick
2 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coconut (I have used more)
4 eggs beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. butter used on dish

Mix ingredients together and put into a 9" buttered pie dish.  Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until custard is set.

What a job!!!

Allen went outside the other night and saw this.  He came in and got me.  It was my daughter and granddaughter.  She is 5 1/2 and did a really good job.  It rained that night so took it down.  She was so proud of herself and wished gpa didn't catch them.  They only did this small tree.

Beautiful Day!!!!

Today was my last day of vacation! (till November) We were closed too so everybody got to enjoy the fall day.  Temps were in the 70's.  I love this weather.  I really should of hung bedding out but ran and did a few errands.  Granddaughter, daughter, and hubby all got their flu shots (got mine last week), we went out to eat and then went to the show.

After coming home we went deer looking and saw several deer out and about.

Daughter called later and said she made beef stew.  Now that sounds good!

Hope you all are getting to enjoy the weather some before the cold comes.

I think I will be looking up some of our soup recipes that we really like!

Vacation

On vacation this past week and have gotten started on some Christmas crafts.  So much to do inside----outside----- and crafts nothing completely done besides some ornaments.

Wanted to help put some Christmas lights up while weather is decent but......

Pie In the Face

These pictures are from awhile back.  Teigan loves this game.

Six-In-One Refrigerator Cookies

2 cups butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup lightly brown sugar (firmly packed)
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup coconut (shredded)
1/2 cup pecans (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 sq. unsweetened chocolate (melted)
1/4 cup candied cherries (finely chopped)

Cream butter.  Gradually add sugars, cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla mix well.  Sift together flour, soda and salt gradually add to creamed mixture beating well after each addition.  Divide dough into 6 parts.  Add coconut to one part; pecans to second; nutmeg and cinnamon third; melted chocolate to fourth; and candied cherries to fifth.  Leave the last portion plain.  Chill 30 minutes or longer. Shape dough into 6 rolls about 1 3/4" in diameter.  Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate overnight or freeze.  When ready to use, slice with sharp knife in 1/8" slices. (if frozen thaw just enough to slice)  Place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake in moderate oven (375) for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned.  Remove cookies and cool on racks.  Makes 18 dozen.

1 1/2 dozen of each


I ran across this recipe in a cookbook that I borrowed from my sister in about the last month so haven't tried any yet, but thought they sound good.

Thank you for reading my Christmas In July post.  I really have to learn to post pictures again.  They taught me one way on here and then changed it so....
