Kitchen Kapers

By -
So, I have never claimed to be a whiz in the kitchen, I am definitely slow. After 8 years of cooking for my family I have definitely had my really good moments. And some not-so-good moments. Two of the latter came this past week.

1. Thursday night I completely ruined my best egg pan because I always keep the heat too high. I was attempting to saute turkey steaks because we are eating healthier and my husband loves hamburger steaks!

2. Sunday afternoon I was making brownies for Luke's lunchbox. I know this totally contradicts #1, but you must know Luke to understand. Anyway, the brownies were not quite done when we had to leave at 4:20 p.m. so I thought I will just turn the oven off and the brownies will finish baking while the oven cools down and that way the oven will be OFF. Sounds like a great idea! Halfway through the worship service I thought again I wonder if I turned the oven off? Uh-oh. I'm not so sure. The children were upset that they could not go get a Frosty at Wendy's with their friends, but the house might be ON FIRE!!! No, the house did not burn down, but the oven was ON!!!! The brownies were a black, flat brick! They slid right out of the pan into the garbage can.

Anybody have a tip on how to get the burnt smell out of the house?

Good-morning! I am looking at Fuller-town when I should be working out! The best way I know to get the smell out is to bake something that smells yummy and it's smell will overpower the burnt smell. If you have and spices like cinnamon, you could put some in a little water and simmer on the stove! Be sure to cut the stove off when through! I love you!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
