Friday Show & Tell at ElCloud Homeschool
These are some pictures taken around our house this week.
First, we took pictures of our two Persian kittens we're trying to sell. Aren't they beautiful?
Trouble 1 and Trouble 2
Then I just had to take a picture of our very first egg at ElCloud Homestead! Of course it came from the lone survivor guinea. I guess we can't call her "Last Man Standing" anymore ... "Last Gal Standing" maybe. And, we don't know how long it was out there before we found it, so we will be tossing it later today. Literally. We're going to go out and see how far 8 yo J can throw it toward the burn pit. PE class anyone? I can't wait until our Ameraucana chicks actually start laying eggs for us.
yes, that is the color of my kitchen counter top
I guess we'll need to start watching the guinea enclosure more carefully to try to collect her eggs each day. Trouble is, it also has fencing on top of it; so when I go in, I have to walk all hunched over. I guess it's a good thing I've got little kids to do the dirty work for me. *wink*
And the last picture was last night's supper. I was so proud of myself for making home made chicken pot pies for the very first time, that I just had to take a picture of them. They look beautiful to me!
the kids just don't know what they're missing!
Of course, half the kids hated them because the frozen veggies didn't get tender enough for their liking ... but they sure looked beautiful. Steve and I (along with the oldest two girls) thought they were delicious. I felt so "domestic" making home made pot pie ... kind of like the first time I made meatloaf successfully. Don't ask me why, other than the fact that they are considered classic American meals.
I didn't use a recipe for it. I just made up my own -- with chicken, cooked frozen veggies, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and onion. One of them just has frozen mixed veggies in it, but the other one also has broccoli in it.
I did cheat, though. I used two rather old frozen pie crusts from my deep-freeze for the base, and then layered refrigerated crescent roll dough on top for the top crust. It was yummy, and since the kids didn't like it that much, there's plenty of leftovers for lunch today!
