Waffle Recipe

This is the waffle recipe from Vince’s friend, Steve.  We’ve been using it and loving it for years.  The secret is to beat the egg whites very stiff before adding them to the remaining ingredients.

Steve’s Waffles:

2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
2 T. oil

1. Beat egg whites till stiff and set aside.
2. In mixer bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Stir in buttermilk, oil and egg yolks, stirring til blended but do not overbeat.
4. Stir in egg whites and mix well.
5. Pour into waffle pans and cook according to the directions for your waffle pans.

Trenching Has Ended

The trencher was picked up today so Vince’s fun of playing in the dirt has ended for a while.  We were trying to figure out where all we needed water lines once we get the cross-fencing done but Vince said he would rent it again.  He enjoyed having it here.

He got most of the pipe in the trenches and got them covered up.  I wasn’t expecting those big white pieces to be there but I guess I can find something to plant that will cover them up.  The deer didn’t eat my irises in MO so maybe I can plant a few clumps of irises around those things.  I’ll just be happy to not have the water pouring out of the downspouts right there by the foundation.

Design Wall Monday – January 23, 2012

Not only do I have a design wall again but I have something on the design wall! These are some of the blocks for the new Quilt Along that started this morning.



Rolling Along – Part 1

This quilt is going to be named Rolling Along.

The instructions for today are to make flying geese . . lots of them!  You will need to make 72 flying geese that will finish at 1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″.  They need to be 1-3/4″ x 3″ unfinished.  You will use the ecru/background and navy fabrics.  Use your favorite method to make them.

Even if you can’t get all 72 of them made before the next set of instructions are posted on Wednesday, try to get at least 24 of them made.  Each block requires 4 flying geese.  You can do it!

There are many methods to make flying geese.  I like Brenda Henning’s Triangulations™ software.  Here are some links that might help you if you don’t already have a favorite method.
