Here's my Card Trick block! I'm all set for class tomorrow now with my "homework" done! Now all I have to do is pack a "school lunch"! LOL! No, really. I don't know what were working on tomorrow but I'm taking my camera and will photogragh the finished quilt that's hanging on the wall at the quilt shop. Oh, this is FUN!!!!!

Here's my second quilt block from my quilt class. It the log cabin block which you quilters will certainly recognize. My quilt teachers gave us a tip for storing and transporting our blocks.......a "new" (clean) pizza box! They are like 14" square and most blocks are 12" square so it works perfectly! What a great idea!

Well.....baked my Mary Jane's Farm Farmhouse sourdough and had hot bread and butter for breakfast! YUMMO! Some might think it is too sour but I LOVE IT!!!! It still doesn't rise a whole lot but it's enough for me and the texture is wonderful. The recipes are on her website www.maryjanesfarm.org
It's like having a pet though....you have to feed it every day!

OH!!!!! Is this cute or what!!!!????? I stopped at the Thrift Store on my way to Wally World and there it was. I was really looking for some extra measuring cups but since they didn't have any I looked around and found THIS! I am old enough to remember Dick and Jane and Spot too!
It is framed under glass and was only $13.00! I know, Nancy Jo, not as good as the prices you get but I wasn't letting this one go! It had my name on it! Well.....not literally but you know what I mean.

So sorry I haven't been on.....I'm still recovering from the "germs" the grandchildren left me and also I've been having problems with subscriptions at Mary Jane's Farm and yada, yada, yada.
But here's a little of what's been going on here in Horseshoe!
Here is a quiche I made last night that was SO easy and SO good but it is not too filling so I had 2 big pieces plus they suggested having some crusty bread and a salad with it....neither of which I had made.

Butter, for ramekins

Coarse salt

1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets

6 large eggs

1/2 cup half-and-half

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minutes. Drain well; transfer to a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels. Chop coarsely.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.
3. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle broccoli mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.

This recipe came from www.pbs.org on their Everday Food t.v. program that comes from Martha Stewart's kitchens. I watch Everyday Food on Saturdays here in Arkansas and they have great recipes. I went to Walmart grocery shopping today and got several recipes worth of groceries so I will update you on how they turn out. They were all from Everyday Food.
