It Was a Plum of a Day!

I am sick, I despise being sick. It makes me cranky! So, I had to find something to keep me busy today. I walked next door and picked a large bag of beautiful plums!

Then I made this cobbler. It has plums, nectarines, & blackberries in it.
This is my favorite cobbler recipe because it is healthy, quick, easy, and goes w/ any fruit!

I also made this plum sauce, for my waffles, and ice cream. I replaced the almond extract w/ some cinnamon & ginger, then cooked it down a little to thicken it.

Karlee got the plum bug, and decided to make plum bread. It is awesome good!

She doubled the recipe, and took one next door to thank the neighbors for sharing the plums!

It turned into a nice plummy day!

Would You Have Killed It?

I was making my usual, every single day, as long as tomatoes are fresh from the garden, blt.

When, I spied this on my counter behind the toaster!

I WAS scared of it. But, I couldn't kill it. So, I did this.

That is my strainer and a piece of copy paper. I let it out the back door and I'm pretty sure it turned around and waved a thank you on it's way around the corner.

Would you have killed it?

In My Kitchen 07/06/09

I thought it would be fun to document a day in my kitchen. Monday started with me frying 4 eggs for the kids. I made myself my normal Kashi waffles and blueberry syrup. After I ate, I did a load of dishes.

Then, I sliced up this beautiful, juicy watermelon.

I noticed I had some milk that needed to be used. It was too sour for cereal or drinking, but didn't have chunks yet, so, I put out the eggs and butter for homemade bread. (Notice those pretty yellow tomatoes they are out of my garden)Lunch time, ham sandwich for me

Shrimp Ramen Noodles w/ peas and bacon bits for Little Man

Grilled cheese w/ bacon bits for Doodle

A pudding dessert that used up 4 cups of the milk

Homemade bread....YUM!

Did a ton of dishes

Made hummingbird food...bad picture

Packed J a sandwich for lunch todayMade tacos for dinner (used the yellow tomatoes) :)
I dished out 4 bowls of the pudding dessert. Then, I did another bunch of dishes.
