Blogger Dropping Our Comments!

UPDATE!!

I HAD NINE COMMENTS SITTING IN SPAM HERE ON BLOGGER!  GO TO YOUR SETTINGS, COMMENTS, SPAM, CHECKMARK THE ONES YOU WANT TO PUBLISH AND THATS IT…THANKS GUYS FOR YOUR HELP!!

HUGS

Just a quick post to let you all know that Blogger is at it again!  They just can't leave anything alone...If it isn't broke, leave it the Hell alone!

I've had my sweet friends comments show up on my email (thank God) but not on the actual post.  So...the only thing I know to do is copy their comment into my post comment (you get that?Lol) section and hope Blogger pulls their head out of their a22 and get things fixed.  Go into your settings and make sure you have allowed Email to be sent to you or, you'll never know if one of us comments on your post. 

As you can see they've locked comments on their complaint section so I wasn't able to leave a very irritated missive...If you know of something that can be done, let me know.

Lunch Out...Cake In...

Morning guys!  Just checking in.  We went to an outdoor "thrift" show in Canton, Texas on Friday, to visit with friends and to look at all the different handmade...??lol...goodies.  China was a big participant, needless to say.  Some actually were handmade right here in the good old USofA but, not much anymore.  Oh well, it got us out of the house.

Then I made an old fashioned Lunchroom Ladies white sheet cake.  Very moist, very good!

We went out to lunch yesterday to The Olive Garden.  Soup and salads... Larry had Zuppa Toscana and I had Gnocchi ... both, really good!

Then it was off to Bath & Bodyworks.  My Granddaughter has several in her house and the scents are fabulous!!  If you go hunting, look for Wallflower...the appliance you plug into the outlet then you attach the fragrance (Read the instructions!!!  You can only get the caps off by turning counter clock wise! Weird!).  But the aromas are wonderful!  The Wallflower appliance has three settings!  Strong, medium and light.  Comes in handy because the scents are concentrated.  OH!!!  Grab some of the cute little hand sanitizers!!  I've been making my own for far too long with vanilla...These little scents are yummy and leave your hands feeling wonderful!

 

Then, lets see...I also bought a silicone tray to freeze things in...cream, lemon juice, seasonings in olive oil...tomato paste.  A whole can of tomato paste usually goes to waste around here!  SO, now I can pull out what I need (2 squares equals 1/4 cup).

Are you bored yet??Lolol... Here's hoping you're safe from all the horrible shootings!  Larry and I both are Conceal Carry...praying we never have to use them.

Larry's painting the house only when it's cool...not in a hurry...and I just got told we could drive to Cedar Springs to see if there were any tomatoes yet...yea!!

Coming around later to check on you!  Enjoy your day...

Our granddaughter Samantha...Baby Sloane is due on my birthday, Aug 9!  SO excited!  Larry's Mother, if you remember, died on my birthday!  Sloane's arrival will definitely give me happier thoughts!

Mother's Day, an Oreo Lemon Cookie Pound Cake, and a Cricut Maker3...

Morning guys!  It's been a busy week.  Watching the Depp/Heard trial... Mother's Day cake, that I made myself...for myself, but only took a slice... and Larry bought me a Cricut Maker 3...don't ask...He thinks I'm floundering. Burned out, so to speak. So, he got me a toy to play with.  What a learning curve!!!  Omg... it'll do a lot of crafts, maybe even fly (not really) ...but I'll be learning new things from now to doomsday!  I suppose that was his original intention...but don't call me an ingrate quiet yet!  We drove over to Consignment Furniture and I bought a desk in which I can house the machine...craft do-dads...odds and ends and bobbles.  Goodness knows where all this will take me...I'll keep you updated.

Here's the Oreo Lemon Cookie Pound Cake I made...Dang GOOD!  Very lemony!

People are always asking me how I get my cakes to literally, fall out of their pans with absolutely no breakage or crumbling...Just make the recipe below...store in the refrigerator, use it liberally on All your baked goods!  Slather it on your pan!  I love the stuff and No More expensive Baker's Joy!  I know, I know...Crisco and dust with flour ...sure it works to but, too many steps when all you need is a brush and this recipe. 

I used the food processor to crumble about 20 cookies...half in the batter and half on top of the lemon glaze.

Use your favorite basic vanilla pound cake recipe...I also added a small box of Instant Lemon Pudding...NO vanilla extract!  Instead, use Lemon extract, 2 teaspoons.

There's SO many variations you can use... Can you think of one? 

Larry also gave me flowers for Mother's Day...so pretty!

Love Italian Sesame bread!  I can't make it for this price of $1 !!

Are any of you Cricutters??

My first project...Lolol...a vinyl bear...and only because the machine made me do it!

Well, Hope you all are well, safe and happy.  I hope you Mother's out there enjoyed our special day!  Father's Day is coming up...June 19th (America)  I'd better get busy to find a revenge... I mean, a sweet gift for the Hubby.

Be kind to each other and make good choices!

WHAT??Lolol... oh alright, so I'm #TeamDepp ...

See you at the trial!

It's A New Month...

Good morning... just a quick post letting you know I'm still around!  

Goodness!  It's May already!  Where is time going?  We aren't really doing much around here...Larry's working out in his wood shop making signs, cutting boards etc.  I've made some cookies and a cake.  

We went out for lunch...this sandwich was really too big.  We ate on it for two days!lolol

Larry gave me this pot plant...don't know the name of it...no tag but, I love it.

My purple plum rose is blooming...

My Chantilly Cake...Lordy, it was good!!

I also bought an egg cooker by Dash.  Love it!!  And the cooled eggs peel like a dream!

Love this one...for kitchen or bathroom.

Hope you ladies had a wonderful Mother's Day!  I did...our daughter, Crystal, came for a visit and we talked almost 6 hours straight!  So fun...

Well, hope you all have a sweet and peaceful day...make good choices!
