Beer Chicken

Gary's made a pottery piece for Beer Chicken, You fill the center with Beer and then Roast the Chicken, and it absorbs all the steamy flavor as it roasts. Since I don't frequently purchase Beer (or ever), we put in apple juice, and it was delicious. It will be fun to try different concoctions.

Birthday Pie, Lip Gloss, and Boys

Boys Just Chillin...

Girls with Lip Gloss...


I made Mississippi Mud Pie for my birthday, I was going for Corinne's famous pudding pie, but she was busy on Broadway and I didn't have the recipe... I knows this divulges from my usual Apple dumplings on my B-day, but I think it was time for a change, plus my sisters are flying here Friday and promised to make me some. It was good, tasted like flour less chocolate cake, but next time no pie crust.

FYI...I wanted to make my own pie because I like to cook, and I greatly preferred this to watching the kids while Gary baked a B-day treat, plus he had already made me a breakfast in bed, taken me out for Thai, and a made a wonderful Sunday dinner.
