Deer ~ New Recipe Tried ~ Mini Flood

 


One day we spotted about 20 "dots" out in a field.  Sure enough it was a larger herd of deer.  The few photos I took were not that great, as they were way out in the field.  I am still looking to upgrade my camera.

New recipe tried.

Einkorn flour Greek yogurt pancakes.
Source online:  Peanut Butter Fingers (name of their site).

Love these, but be aware it makes a lot!  I froze the extras, and it will come in handy for busy mornings or mornings I need a quicker, healthy breakfast.  I added blueberries to ours (I freeze a lot of them in the summer).  Side these with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, chicken or turkey "sausage" patties, fruit or eat them as they are.  Very filling, high in natural protein (no protein powder), and you can top them with your choice of topping.

I had gone to the kitchen to heat up a cup of tea and noticed water all over the utility room floor, and mostly from coming under the sink in there.  Hm.  Closer look, and we were not sure if the pipes were jostled by one of us, or worse, there was a leak in the wall.  Bingo!  Leak.  We shut off the water softener, until we can get the parts and repair the water line that works the water softener.  It happened before, but many years ago.  We already have an access in the wall to it, so at least that is making the repair easier to do.  I'm glad I kept all of our "dog" towels, because it took a lot of them to clean up the mini-flood.

Those pancaskes look delicious. Yum! Sorry about the mini-flood. Those are never fun. I've been looking at a spatzle maker on Amazon and tring to decide if I'll use it enough to justify buying it. I absolutely love spatzle and used to be able to get it when we when out to a german restaurant in Spokane but I can't find anywhere here that serves it. My German Grandma used to make it all of the time when I was growing up and I would much rather have it than potatos. It's not even expensive, I just hate not finding one at the thrift store.
Blessings,
Betsy

Betsy,. we have tried spatzle once in a restaurant, but it was served to us cold. I will have to look into that now. Thanks.
