Wordless Wednesday: It’s Too Darn Hot!
My car this evening… and I was parked under a tree.
Antique Recipe Help
My aunt found this recipe on an old envelope when she was cleaning up my grandparent’s attic:
It is in my grandma’s handwriting, and written when her sister was still alive (before 1980 or so.) I’m thinking it was even written in the 50’s, but not sure.
12 eggs (this quantity was blurred so not sure)
1 T salt
4 T mustard
2 c sugar
2 c vinegar
1 cup cream or canned milk
Cook til thick.
*Notes- Real Good
We can’t figure out what the recipe is for! I haven’t tried to make it yet (because honestly, it doesn’t sound so yummy to me) but do really want to know what it’s for! My grandma and her sister were both Canadian, in case any Canadians out there know what this is!
It almost sounds like a cooked mayonnaise, but then also like a custard like lunch salad. Hmmmm…
Does anyone have any ideas?
On Craziness
I feel slightly nuts lately.
Maybe it’s the heat. (Only like 115 today.)
Or me not learning to say “no” once again…
Too many irons in the fire as my mom would say. (Sure feels like it in this heat.)
My friend Alison has a challenge going to blog every day in August. I don’t know if I’ll manage it (missed the first already) but I will try! Just to keep my head.
Why I feel crazy:
- We have been trying to fix up a rent/flip house we got a few weeks ago. It’s a great little house (or will be) by the lake. Very cute backyard (or will be.) The past two weeks have been spent cleaning, buying lights and glass, talking to contractors and electricians… That would normally be fine but…
- The kids ALL started school at the same time so that has made my life like a crazy whirlwind.
- I am VP in charge of fundraising for the PTA and trying to get the first fundraiser going has been more of a challenge than I expected. Hopefully it will work out okay in the end. Two weeks left.
- It’s HOT. (Did I say it was hot?)
I feel better already! (Maybe that’s the ice cream…)
On Eighteen Years
Eighteen years ago today I woke up from a bad night’s sleep.
I had tossed and turned all night.
I was so bumfuzzled I left the rings at my grandma’s house.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared in my life.
We said “I do” and all the scary feelings melted away.
Thank you for being the best husband, friend, love, that any woman could ever wish for.
I love you, babe.
