Silly Girlses....

The girls like drawing... even on the fruit. -.- It was supposed to be a happy face on one side and a horror filled one on the other. :P Them kiddos....

On a Failed (or partially failed) Attempt on Bread

The yeast.

And added the oatmeal...

Added flour...

It rose nicely...

But it didn't rise very nicely as I was baking it. :/

It got all eaten, at least. :P

Picnic

This is of the picnic we had with our good friends. It was so lovely... Another of God's blessings. :)

They brought subs, chips, pretzels, tea... :)

Eating pictures are so funny... :P

We had to jumpstart their car. :P

Chili

As people have remarked (ahem, Laina ;) ) that I mostly post pictures of sweet things I've baked on my blog, and not many (if any) of real food, I decided to do a couple photoshoots of myself cooking dinner. -.- I hope you enjoy....

The hamburger, onions, garlic and herbs cooking... (I use basil, oregano, parsley.. all fresh, of course.)

Some fresh-picked, homegrown tomatoes...

Now all blended up, for use in the chilli. :) I only used some of the tomato sauce.

It was good. :) This wasn't how my chilli usually turned out, but that's cause I used more of the garlic-chilli powder I usually use, and less of the normal kind. And I don't usually add so much tomato sauce or herbs. The extra herbs definitely gave it a slightly different flavor. And I don't usually use lima beans, which I had to this time cause I didn't have canned kidney beans, and I only had dry lima and pinto beans. So. But I never feel constrained to follow a recipe (specially if it's mine!!) exactly the same each time! :P My chilli usually doesn't change much, except in heat, though.
