So grab your coffee, put a smile on your face, and go make the most of this beautiful October day. And remember: if Tuesday gives you trouble, add tacos. ~

BLTs are one of the most popular sandwiches in the world.

Here’s how to make the perfect one!

Start with four strips of a good quality bacon.
Place them in a large, non-stick skillet in basket weave pattern.
Fry until crisp but not burned!

Link sausages, scrambled farm fresh eggs and my breakfast muffins!

This is one of Cassie’s and my favorite recipes for a side dish for that Thanksgiving dinner, (which will be here before you know it). It’s quick and easy and my family loves it.

Boys flying kites
haul in their white-winged birds.
But you can not do that
when you’re flying words.

Thoughts unexpressed
may sometimes fall back dead.
But God, himself,
can’t kill them once they’re said.

My faithful little hens came through for me again!

Friday is Gina’s birthday!
21 years old! Can you believe!!!

Her favorite cake is carrot cake so that’s what I will be making her for a birthday cake.

Probably nothing fancy, just in a 9×13 pan with tons of cream cheese frosting.

___________________________________________

The following recipe is one I have posted before, and is a little more elaborate, but well worth the effort if you should decide to try it.

I have had this recipe since the mid-50s. It is very different from carrot cakes made in recent years. I hope you like it!

Cook’s note: be sure to use BLACK walnuts or you won’t get the same product.

The ultimate Autumn dessert.

Recipe is around somewhere.
