Birthday and projects


Brant celebrated the big 2-7 on St. Patrick's Day. I'm not allowed to do green anything so he got some pink frosting on his cake instead. I ordered his favorite pizza for dinner (Donatos' thin crust with pepperoni) and his Mom got him some Guarana (Brazilian soda, his favorite). I made a carrot cake for him and I think Spencer liked it even more than Brant did. Happy Birthday, Honey!

Spencer loves to do anything that his daddy does, even shine shoes! As soon as Brant got his shoe shine kit out, Spencer ran and grabbed his shoes too. We gave him a paper towel and he rubbed away. Both pairs of shoes are looking as good as new.
Now that I have a big chest freezer (thank you, Craigslist!), I have been trying to fill it up with things. My friend, Nicole, showed me how to make 5 loaves of bread at one time-with no kneading! It's a fairly quick recipe and just requires me to be home for a few hours to wait for rising. We generally eat one loaf on the first day since fresh bread is so good and then we freeze the other loaves. I also made some strawberry freezer jam to top our fresh bread.

Happy belated birthday, Brant. I'll have to get that bread recipe. No kneading? Sounds good to me.
