Oct. 20, 2006 - Been Busy
Time has really flown since my last entry. So much for trying to update the "identify this object" weekly! We'll be moving in just eleven days. I'm still amazed that in less than two weeks I'll be living in Colorado, not California where I've lived my whole life.
I had to move the ticker down to the very bottom of the page as it was causing some problems with the sidebar overlapping the entries. I hope everything is fixed with that now. Please let me know by leaving a comment if it isn't.
Last Sunday, my dad and older brother went to San Antonio to attend the Independent Christian Film Festival. My younger brothers, mom, and I went to Fort Tejon's Civil War reenactment.
On the way home, we stopped at a "Last Chance" peach orchard and bought some peaches. I made a peach crisp with some of them. Here's the recipe I used, which turned out quite well:
Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp
Yield: 6 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes (ready in 45 minutes)
Ingredients:
4 cups peaches, cut into bite-size chunks
cinnamon
Topping:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place peaches in an ungreased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon. In a large bowl, combine all topping ingredients; mix until crumbly. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over peaches. Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes, or until peaches are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream.
I hope, once we move, to update my blog more regularly including the "identify the object" posts. Here is the answer to last time's picture:
It was a leaf hopper - or at least, that's what we call them. I don't know if that's what their "real" name is or not. Please check back in a couple weeks for a new picture.

Your blog looks great. Nothing is overlapping : ) I just finished reading a couple of bloggers blogs in Colorado that have lots of snow. Is there snow right now in the part of Colorado where you are moving to? I will keep you in my prayers for a safe and uneventful move : )
