Baking Day
Today was baking day. We had a couple people offer to bring desserts for family night but we will need to have more than just two pans of desserts. I decided to make the dessert I made when John Harrigan was here, basically rice crispy treats mixed with peanuts then caramel drizzled on top. As tomorrow is Berean and we had left over Hawaiian rolls from the Sunday dinner I decided to try making Shirley's cinnamon roll recipe and that was baked first and set to cool. The rice crispy treats were mixed up and pressed into the pans before the caramel was started. That takes about 20 minutes to make and made almost 2 cups. I had almost an entire cup of caramel left over after drizzling over the two pans of rice crispy treats. The cream cheese icing was made next and the cinnamon rolls were iced as they were cool by then.
Mark needed my help at the barn about so once those were covered I took the golf cart over. He was repairing the door hinges to the women's bathroom.
We had a leak there when we moved the side door of the barn and one of the door jams soaked up the water. He cut that piece out and bought what was needed to repair it.
He had a pretty big sawdust mess on the floor, walked through it then carried 3 signs up stairs leaving sawdust all the way up on every step and installed those signs in the game room leaving a trail of sawdust where ever he walked.
I didn't have time to clean it up but it shouldn't be too hard. Those signs read Keep off Net.
The funny thing about putting those signs up is that the net hasn't been installed yet and may not get installed until I get home from Gulf Shores. Meanwhile we have a cheer team coming in. They are going to be wondering 'what net?' The net is going to be installed the entire length of the game room from the wall by the batting cage all the way to the wall of the bunk room. It was ordered and came today. It will have two purposes, the first is of course safety and the second to stop the kids from throwing things from the game room down to the gym.
On the way back from the barn stopped to visit a bit with Valiant.
He is going to be 17 years old in July and is starting to show gray hair on his face. Evan is just a week older and has no gray hair. Must be genetics.
When I got back to the house I tried to make a pan of those delicious caramel brownies with the left over caramel. Those didn't turn out the best, they taste great but I probably wont serve them as they are sticky and don't look the best.
The dishes were piled up in the sink when done baking so instead of baking another pan of plain brownies the dishes were done. We had left overs for supper tonight and they were just as good tonight as last night. A phone call came in today from someone wanting to board their two horses, one was a pregnant mare due soon and she wanted us to foal her out here. Nope we don't board outside horses and won't foal out any other than our own. I couldn't even think of anyplace that would do that to recommend for her. Sarah and Rhoda left today for New Zealand. Praying they have safe travels and a wonderful trip.
