Go Nuts for Doughnuts!

So Mark made the comment the other day that he was hungry for some good doughnuts.  So, why not, I made some and they were absolutely delicious.  The three of us ate so many that we were almost sick and could hardly eat dinner.  I will definitely be making these again.

The House Construction Has Begun

Yes, the house construction has finally begun. Mark has put a lot of work into the foundation prior to today.  A lot of blood and sweat have gone into that foundation.  No tears though, he is to cool for that.   We have been waiting on the joists to arrive for a while now and today, they finally arrived.   Mark and Andrew have already been hard at work.  Building a house yourself is a slow process but, if I know my husband it will go fairly quickly, he is not one to let things sit around.

I Scream You Scream We All Scream for Ice Cream! An update to yesterday's blog.

Finally, at 8:15 we were eating Homemade Ice Cream!  So, will I make it again without an ice cream maker, NO WAY!  That sucked!  The Ice Cream itself was delicious but a 10 hour + prep time was ridiculous.  I will be researching ice cream makers in my future.

Oh, and by the way I'm not out of the kitchen today!  Baking a cake for Ryan's Birthday tomorrow.  His request was Red Velvet Cake.  It is funny how the kid who gets no dyes in his diet request a cake that takes 2 bottles of red food coloring!  Oh well, once a year won't hurt, at least I hope not.  Anyway tomorrow will be fun.  One of the joys of Homeschooling is that you get your Birthday off!
