Polos

My newest fun snack/desert. I took them tonight to our Delta Kappa Gamma supper.

Polos

mini-pretzels
Rolos
pecan halves

pre-heat oven to 200 degrees. place the mini-pretzels on a cookie sheet. top each one with a Rolo (biggest headache is unwrapping each Rolo if you buy the big bag for a larger group) place the cookie sheet in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the Rolos are soft. Remove from oven and press a pecan half into each one. Let them cool.

For a party I think it would be fun to buy the mini-pretzels that are shaped like Texas (or any other shapes you can find).

Enjoy!!!!!

It's Tuesday, no Monday, no Tuesday, no Monday, no...

This is a post I wrote a week ago and haven't found time to actually post. It was a crazy day. I will write more soon. L

Have you ever had a Tuesday that was supposed to be a Monday? Or maybe I should ask, have you ever had a Tuesday that turned out to be a Monday? This morning my goal was to be at school extra early because we were going to have to train a full-time substitute teacher in one of our art positions...... yeah, two weeks into the new school year our newest art teacher decided it was physically, emotionally, and spiritually too much for her. So, here we are with 6 classes of Art 1 and no teacher. So, I'm headed to school early.... or so I thought. Carry everything to the car, insert the key, turn, nothing...... not even a whimper. Ray, of course, is 40 miles away and no hope of him coming to drive me to school. Cindy to the rescue- fortunately she had not left the house yet and could come to pick me up. That put a hectic beginning to the day. By day's end though, we had a light misty rain falling. Right now we are sitting in the house with all of the windows open enjoying the cooler/cleaner sky. I'm afraid that is all we will get, but we can keep our fingers crossed.
The latest completion in the remodeling.... staining the beadboard in the kitchen. It is called Culinary Cream- a creamy pickled stain. I'm not sure how well it will show up in the picture, but here it is.
