Library!

I finally got things hanging up in the library. You like?

First Empty Wheat Bucket!

I finally finished my very first 45 lb bucket of wheat!! I decided to open the hard white wheat first, and now I'm delving into some turkey red. So far, I like my home made bread better with the white wheat and pancakes seem to fall apart more with the turkey red. Hmmm. Anyone know of some things I should be doing differently?

The Frog's Halloween Costume in Progress

I finished making part of The Frog's Halloween costume this week. Can you guess what he's going to be? Here's another hint.

First Cheesecake!

I made my first cheesecake ever! I'm always surprised at how not hard to make a lot of "fancy" foods are. Cheesecake is no exception. I did get a gigantic crack in the top, but it tasted great and once you slice it up, you have no way of knowing about it. I used this recipe for the cake and this one for the strawberry topping for Jay and put dove hot fudge on mine. mmm.

Pumpkin Porch!

Because I got such a late start on my garden, there were only so many things that I could still plant, so I ended up planting 3 different kinds of pumpkin and also 2 butternut squash plants (Because I LOVES butternut squash). I've started gathering them to greet all our visitors. Sadly, we got our first frost last night, and so I doubt if we will get anymore. I think I may pick all the partials and display those too :)
