It was a twenty-four hr current of sloth yesterday, if walking nearly 12,000 steps amongst Sue tin plough over notice count every bit sloth. But, honestly, the residual of the twenty-four hr current was pure sloth. We didn't larn rained on likewise much, although at that spot were a few showers. Since I was wanting to halt off together with selection upwardly our living Christmas tree at a nearby specialty market, I outset surveyed myself when nosotros got dorsum to our cars. Just how moisture was I? And since I was solely to drowned rat status, I told myself it would last okay. This is Oregon, afterward all. It rains a lot here...especially on the concluding twenty-four hr current of November. True to form, I walked into the store carrying my petty tree inwards a basket, together with folks barely glanced upwardly from their ain shopping.
So anyway...want to come across the tree? I saw it at this store nigh x days ago, together with couldn't larn it out of my mind.
It's form of a Charlie Brown tree, together with it in all probability looks larger inwards that pic than it truly is. It's nigh waist high on me. Mike together with I direct keep been getting living trees...little ones...for the past times several years. Usually they're the same variety, together with nosotros direct keep a veritable grove of the same tree inwards our champaign now. For this year, I was looking for something different.
It's grown locally. It has the most interesting "needles," which is what had me thinking nigh it nonstop since seeing it merely earlier Thanksgiving.
It's nonetheless parked outside...I said it was a twenty-four hr current of sloth. Once I dropped it off at the dorsum door, I went within together with took a nap. Maybe I'll larn it decorated this weekend, although it is a chip early on for me.
The solely sewing I did yesterday was some slow-stitching on the Appalachian Memories quilt block. I'm getting far plenty along that I'm going to demand to motion my hoop to complete off some of those lines.
Okay, therefore I wasn't likewise lazy to brand a petty dessert for our Fri evening. I've been smacking my lips waiting to endeavor a recipe I institute on the Food Network website for Caramel Bread Pudding for Two. You tin plough over notice find the recipe correct here. The caramel comes from 4 soft caramel candies. I used these.
It isn't difficult to make, but it does accept a petty time. It's made amongst ii croissants which are torn into bits. They direct keep to sit down soaking upwardly the "goo" for nigh xv minutes, together with and therefore it bakes for nigh thirty minutes. I did mine inwards my toaster oven, together with it was done inwards 25 minutes. It certain did brand the family modest good. And hither they are.
They were bubbling some the edges when I took them out of the oven. I tin plough over notice last made inwards java mugs, but I used ramekins this fourth dimension around. Yum. It was difficult to hold off to complete dinner earlier earthworks in. The recipe says to serve them warm, but ours were at room temperature. I asked Mike to pose a "dollop" of whipped cream on them. This is his Definition of a "dollop."
And Oh. My. Gosh. This powerfulness merely last the best affair I've e'er eaten. And, I know...I tell that nigh all the desserts. But this fourth dimension I truly hateful it. It was therefore good, I was truly glad it was a recipe for merely ii because if it had served ten, I'm certain I would direct keep eaten the entire thing. It was difficult plenty to restrict myself from making some other i correct together with therefore together with there. There were nonetheless candies left inwards the bag, afterward all. Oh, but no to a greater extent than croissants, therefore never mind.
Okay...so hither nosotros are.
