Rain ~ Cold Temps

Rain moved in yesterday as predicted. Our temperature is to drop considerably tonight.  They say the rain will go on for 36 hours.

I went from "I'll just clean the hallway" (where people just drop stuff on the floor coming in and the boot pile is a mess), to "I think I should make...." and here is what got done . . .


Homemade English Muffins were made.






Einkorn Peanut Butter Cookies were made.

Einkorn pizza dough was made for the freezer.

I would have made pie crust crumbles, but I need to get some flour.  It remains on the re-stock it list.


I got zero cleaning done, other than dishes.  Our 20 year-old daughter came out for dinner, and helped with making it.  I was totally excited she wanted to help.  Although I told my husband he would only get homemade corn dogs once a year, he got them.  I told them no "french fries" though.  They got oven roasted potato wedges and they were fantastic.  I used a recipe online (Tasty) with homemade garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, etc.

Update on our SIL - he's still in ICU due to experiencing Afib.

That corndog looks delicious! I have never made homemade ones, but have considered it lately. I would like to try them in the air fryer.
I will continue to pray for your son in law

Thank you Carol. The corn dog recipe is online. It's a video actually - The Stay at Home Chef (Disneyland Style hand dipped corn dogs).

Rain, thanks. It's still raining here today, and we are getting flooded areas. Crazy weather for sure.
