Hubby and I had picked early blueberries - the sweet teensy ones - that afternoon. Thinking it would be a yummy treat for him, I whipped up some piecrust (Ha! After a lonngggg recipe consultation. Crust was and still isn't my forte) hurled in the sugared berries and popped it in the oven. Who knew one shouldn't use a two piece tart pan for a juicy pie? Buckets of juice dripped out on to the element and loving flames licked up and around the pie. Drawn into the kitchen by the charming aroma, I hurled baking soda on the creation. Voila. Flames out. Pie cooked. That white powder all over the "golden crust?" Icing sugar, of course ...Kelly L McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649279572727703824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-19146089336171562352016-04-28T06:16:42.686-07:002016-04-28T06:16:42.686-07:00Happy Belated Birthday!

I have had quite a few cooking disasters over the years but haven gotten much better with time. One year while we still lived in our condo, I got the bright idea to make home made gnocchi. I think it took the entire day and they came out all doughy and disgusting. But the ridiculous thing was that I decided to freeze them and then a couple months later when we moved into our house, I actually brought them with us to the new freezer! To this day, my husband laughs at me for this and I cannot explain why I did it. Needless to say, they were eventually thrown out. And needless to say, when I want gnocchi now, we go to a good Italian restaurant!<br />ShelleyCalypso In The Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264873052810117169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-91049484586845800252016-04-27T21:26:45.406-07:002016-04-27T21:26:45.406-07:00First off; happy, happy birthday!

I was trying to think back to one rule I had growing up, and I couldn't remember anything major. The one that came to mind first, was that I wasn't allowed to watch Golden Girls. To this day, I don't think I have seen a whole episode. I just feel guilty! Ha! I'll send you some warm Texas sunshine, if you promise to send me some cool weather in late July! :)Emily Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078880070760482410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-60160422876611059382016-04-27T19:53:43.891-07:002016-04-27T19:53:43.891-07:00HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!!!!!

...Happiest belated! I know it was a wonderful day!<br /><br />OK -- here's a little sharing! I had no idea about Prince/Minnesota, either; my family rule was no cartons or boxes on the table. Milk, cereal -- mope!; biggest cooking disaster? Setting the kitchen on fire on Christmas by leaving a towel and packaging too close to a burner I didn't turn off. No fire department was called -- this stupid but courageous woman got it out by herself. And graciously served dinner. And oh! How would love to have a Japanese maple! They're one of my faves.<br /><br />Now, my birthday wish to you is that you keep celebrating that birthday for weeks to come!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-16254320945094757512016-04-27T05:28:16.562-07:002016-04-27T05:28:16.562-07:00Happy, happy birthday to you and one of my favorit...Happy, happy birthday to you and one of my favorites, Carol Burnett! I hope you had a marvelous day! As for Prince residing in Minnesota, he told a reporter he liked it there because the cold temperatures kept the mean people away! Ha! That's the way we feel about the oppressive heat here! We've been running the AC for a few weeks now.
