Corn Dogs

Hey Angie, this is for you! I meant to blog about this before now, but better late than never, right?


I'm sure they don't look as nice as the ones pre-made from the store, but isn't there something to be said for "homemade" foods? I enjoy making them and the kids love eating them!

Dandy Corn Dogs
1 cup flour
2 T cornmeal
4 t. ground mustard

2 t. baking powder

1/4 t. salt

1 egg, beaten

3/4 cup milk

10 wooden skewers

10 hot dogs

oil
Combine the dry ingredients.
Stir in the egg and milk just until moistened.
Insert skewers into hot dogs; dip into batter.
In a skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
Fry corn dogs for 5 - 8 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.

Enjoy!!!

Happy Independence Day!

I experimented tonight for the first time using the "night scene" feature on my camera. Here's my one and only shot that was half decent! I have a whole year to brush up on my skills for next year's Eyler fireworks!Happy 4th of July!!

Reliving a part of my past

Kassie and I both participated in a Young Women's talent show at church this past Wednesday night. Since I don't have any normal talents like singing, dancing, playing an instrument or being artistic, I had to resort to storytelling! Years ago during college and while teaching, (even before attending college), I attended all the storytelling workshops that I could. I loved it! In teaching, story time was always my favorite time of the day whether I was reading children's literature, or telling one, I enjoyed this the most! Kassie tells about her painting of Kaden. Kassie then took the following photographs of me while performing my "talent" of storytelling.

Looking at these pictures, I realized I must have made a fool of myself! Oh well, it's best that the young women know me for who I really am, right? LOL!!!

Too cool for the pool!

So far this summer Brady has only gone to the pool with us one time. While everyone else was having fun with their friends playing in and around the pool, Brady stood back and watched.

He eventually ventured in with Kaden, and in time made his way to the deep end for a short underwater swim, but that was it.

When we first arrived at the pool he was greeted by a girl from his class. Then later while Brady was spending time over by the fence, two other girls approached him. These girls were having fun talking with Brady and ewing and awing over his adorable baby brother! With all of these girls looking at Brady he didn't dare go in the pool or be seen with his brothers and sisters, besides Kaden of course. My thirteen and a half year old son is now far too cool for the pool!
