Art projects and Beignets

Two interesting things I learned about yesterday; French Beignets (New Orleans 4/18/11) and this funky art project my son did at school.

Click here for the recipe. They are basically really good scones. I used my candy thermometer because it says to do them at 350 degrees. Worked great. They were the best ones.

The art project is easy if you must do one. Wrap whatever with clear wrap and then wrap the outside of that with clear tape. When you are done with that make a big slit or cut down one side, remove body part, and re-tape.

Fun for scouts to do if you need a welcome project. Last year I went to the high school and they had full body casts done and propped up all over the school. Just a little freaky. This year the teacher conserved on material.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year, my sister-in-law and I made our mother-in-law a not only beautiful but yummy fruit bouquet. Sister-in-law had seen this in a magazine and decided we could do it for cheaper. Also, it came from us so we hope it had a little extra meaning in it. Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day celebrating not only mother's but being a woman.
