I can't help myself, I am just wanting to be Ms. Domestic all of a sudden and the handwork has gone to pot! In fact, I'm not even going to post this to the YOP group because they would snicker. But that being said I am feeling great about what I have accomplished. The rear end of my Tahoe is almost full with "stuff" for the thrift store and I have an ongoing shopping bag near the door and when it gets full......out it goes to the car! Ta Da!
Yesterday, I made the blueberry custard pie with streusel on top and OMG is it ever good. I never really liked straight blueberry pie that well but this is a whole different story! Yummo!
I had a little help when it came time to make the streusel............whoa there little one! She's a lot quicker than her mistress!
This is with the streusel on top. It's not as pretty but who cares when it tastes SO GOOD! It's actually very easy to make too.
After the pie, I made the Barilla Penne Pasta with Italian Sausage and can I just say that the smell alone is worth making it. Nothing like a cozy evening at home with the smells of a hearty dinner cooking on the stove to look forward to. I really do have a wonderful life and good food is a big part of it. This is not expensive to make and it is healthy too. You really can "have it all"!
Now that your mouth is watering I have a not so fun picture to show you...........I looked out the window and there was a praying mantis hiding under my hummingbird feeder just waiting for an unsuspecting hummer! I love them and they are very beneficial insects but NOT when they get near my hummers. They kill them so I chased it away and off he flew. I hope not to bother the hummers!
I think they knew it was there because I didn't see them all day but today they're back and I keep an eye out for the mantis!
There was football on yesterday! I thought there would be some today but so far nada. Yay! It's football season...Fall is beginning even if it is in the 90's here.....ugh! This was the BYU vs. Nebraska game and it was a good one! BYU won in the last few seconds of the game!
Last night I watched Cedar Cove on Hallmark and then switched to PBS where I watched Dr. Blake and then they had a new one one; Miss Fisher murder mysteries. It's really good too. Hallmark has their own mystery channel but I don't get that one.
I did do a little cross stitch while I watched t.v.
I hope you're enjoying your Labor Day weekend!
Happy Trails!
