Most Popular Man in a Nudist Colony?

The one who can carry home 2 cups of coffee and a dozen bagels!
Bagels and cream cheese for breakfast is popular in the house. Audrey made a soft egg dough and shaped bagels, bialis and pretzels. Kailey who just turned 1 is in the background as an understudy. I saw her sawing a leg off Audrey's stool in hopes of getting the lead.

Butter up the Host

Audrey's dad's favorite pie is Pumpkin. I saw meaty shortening at Wal-Mart and bought a can to do comps with regualr after a previous pastry discussion.

Libby's Libby's Libby's on the Label, Label, Lab

The plain old Libby's recipe still tands the test of time.

More Tutti Flutti

The fluted edges look nice, keep the crust from shrinking into the pan, and made great side rails to hold more filling. It will take a while for Audrey's fingers to get a fat as grandpa's and make these honkin flutes.

Back Seat Restaurant Critic

I carried Audrey for the recoup period after my neck surgery. The tractioning was perfect for posture and pain management. When Kailey gets too wild and I can't chase her down while cooking, in she goes. We sang all the time when the kids were little and her I am crooning a toon to Kaiely who's about to wet her pants laughing at Gramps. Audrey called me gramma from the git go. She has three grammas but only one granpa. She calls me her "real gramma!"

Meaty Bits

Their Mug Shot!

Thank you, Lawrence. Children, at any age can be amazing if we just let them. My mantra is, "every age has a job discription." Expecting any child or person for that matter to perform beyond their age, exposure and experience can be hurtful. Teaching in an alternative high school, I ran into a lot of very little children with facial hair or expecting babies of their own. Every child needs a protector and advocate. Lordy look at us. We could have put therapy into a recession of it own had we all been supported as children.

Kids are so much fun. Both of mine love to help in the kitchen. When my son was little he used to follow me with his sister's toy vacuum when I vacuumed the house (I posted a pic back then). He told me the other day (he is 7 now) that he wants his own vacuum. I have an older Hoover Encore in the garage I am going to clean up and give it to him.
