Snow Pops are best made where you want to display/eat them. They do not travel well.
No matter what the directions say, simmering milk will make eggs cook on contact.
You don’t really need a candy thermometer…just a temperature gun.
You really need a pasta roller to roll out pasta thin enough.
Pasta making could be the new fad in [...]

I’m not sure how many ways there are to say this.
BACK UP YOUR DATA!
I know this. I knew this. Somehow in the excitement of being finished, or multi-tasking, or feeling invincible, I forgot this. I wish it was as easy as hitting CTRL+S.
In an instant our virtual server crashed and took no less than 8 [...]

Not-Me-Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama. Hop over to her blog to see what others have NOT done this week.
Our cars were NOT cleaner than our kids for the majority of the weekend.
I did NOT spend a lot of time this week sitting around watching Jasmine Star shoot a wedding even though [...]

Mia and I were having a conversation today where it came up that God knows everything. And she says, “Our God knows so much that He knows how shiny your teeth are even if your mouth is closed.” That cracked me up and we decided to start a running list.

Friday we picked the corn that was ready before all the worms ate it.
We [...]

If you were following Patrick’s blog, you probably stopped since he hasn’t really blogged all summer. It probably has something to do with his current 8 to 4 gig. But, lo and behold, he posted last night. Click here to check it out.

I say it often. “Murphy* was a genius.”
*If you have no idea who I’m talking about, click here.
I was reminded again today. “Murphy was a genius.”
As a general rule, we’re very up front and honest with our kids.
If I throw away something by accident (or on purpose) and they ask about it, I tell them [...]

What Food Summer Learning Theme wouldn’t be complete without a tour of potato chip factory? Don’t answer that.
It was like our very own live version of How It’s Made. Highlights included eating chips fresh out of the fryer and 1/2 price bags from the Oops! Section.

All of our tomatoes this year are volunteer. That just means they grew out of the compost we spread throughout our garden. We didn’t buy a single tomato seed or plant this year. As they sprouted like weeds all over our garden, we transplanted the heartier ones to our tomato patch. The fun part with [...]
