Apple cake

Oh no, my apples are going soft.......Quick, cook'em!
I found a nice little recipe here. Its a nice German apple cake, i served it with whipped cream. It was yummy.

My first Dinner party....er.....

Well almost, we had are two good friends over for dinner and it was wonderfully(so much fun). I planed the menu about 5 hours before they came over and everything worked out pretty well!
We started off by playing Scrabble and eating my Rye bread with Chev and my nummy homemade peach salsa. For dinner: maple glazed pork chops, a kind of potato and cheese pie with bacon as the crust and mashed lemony peas. I topped it all off with molten cakes (which were just a little overcooked, so not as molten we i would have liked) and mint whipped cream.
I was going to take some pictures but it was all eaten up fast that i had no chance.

Too many eggs

We are getting about two dozen eggs a week now and can't eat them all. We have been selling the extra and the birds are easily paying for themselves . I love to fry them, the yokes are orange and the whites don't run all over the pan, they almost stick up as much as the yokes. Yummy!

New clothes for Liam

I just finished some new clothes for Liam this week: a cute crocheted gray wool vest with wooden buttons and cotton lined green wool pants to keep him warm and dry this winter. They look so nice on him. I found the Pattern for the pants Here .
I had to add some extra space around the hips to make room for his cloth diaper but besides that is a really good pattern and I'm going to use it again.
I couldn't find a pattern to make the vest so i had to just guessed but i think it turned out wonderful. I'm planing to felt it sometime this week because its a little big and i think it would look nice.

Cooking day

We just bought a hind quarter of organic, grass feed beef and its wonderful! The bad news: we had to make room in the freezer for it, which meant cooking whatever we can to make room.
Yesterday i made Beef stock (with the bones from the quarter), an apple tart and wheat and honey bread (not from the freezer, but we were out).
Today list includes: chicken soup. meat balls, egg noodles and maybe another batch of beef stock (I still have half the bones left).
