We have enjoyed having Jeremy home so much, but now it's back to work for him and school for the kiddies. We did manage to have some good fun these past few weeks...four wheeling, wand-wielding treasure hunts, family visits, New Years party with good friends...
A few things I've learned over these past couple of weeks:
~ Heating elements in stoves are a MUST to make cookies
~ Yeast that expired in May '09 will not cause cinnamon rolls to rise, however, Cinnabon-style icing makes this fact a non-issue.
~ Kids can get water in their eyes in the shower and FREAK out, but get muddy water in eyes while 4-wheeling?, THAT is something to be proud of! ;)
~ 60 flour tortillas, 30 corn tortillas, 18 crunchy taco shells and 30 tostada shells is MORE than enough to feed 7 adults, 4 big kids and smattering of littles. We're gonna have tex mex for the next 3 months!
~ If you can't dig a hole to escape from "life" (from a previous post!), make a decision...so we did!
Happy New Year!!

True statements!
AND btw, you CAN put yeast in the freezer to keep it fresh. :) Just an FYI. My friend from church told me that, and it has saved me so much money! I buy it in a giant 2-pack at Sam's, for like 4.50, which is what a tiny little jar of it costs at Walmart.
