It has been cooking for about 5.5 hours at this point. Smells so good! Later, I will shred the chicken, reduce the broth a bit...- Babydoll

He promised me 50 years (he will be early 90s then), so we still have a ways to go. It is a lot of work, but worth it! (My parents are coming up on their 56th anniversary. Can you imagine being with one person for that long? Better like them a lot!!!)- Babydoll

What's for Dinner?
I tried my hand at something new-to-me: eye of round roast. Treated it like prime rib (rubbed outside with kosher salt, pepper, garlic, mustard powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika), let it rest for 45 minutes, and cooked at 500° for 7 minutes per pound, then turned off the oven and...- Babydoll

I had nearly a whole pint of heavy cream left from my Fair baking, so I used it to make a Dutch baby for breakfast. Decadent! I forgot we were out of the syrup Lily and I prefer, so I used the last of the cream to make Marionberry cream for is to have on our Dutch baby. She was just eating the...- Babydoll

Strangely enough, the cookies are my specialty that I have made for years and years. My Grannie taught me how to make them. It was her mother's recipe.
