BREAD!!!!!!

I am always looking for new bread recipes and new ways to make. I saw a pan that would make my french bread crunchier. It is a stone bread crock. You put it in the oven cold and bake for about 45 min. I also found a recipe for bread with cranberries,raisins and nuts. I started to make it last night because it has to raise for 8 to 12 hours. You make it into a 15 inch loaf and put in the baking crock and let it rise for another 2 hours. It turned out beautiful and the crust very crunchy. Eric had a slice right out of the oven. He said it was great. I don't really eat bread, so I leave the taste to other people. I just love to make it and smell it.

LEMON TREE VERY PRETTY.....

A few years ago Meredith wanted a lemon tree for her birthday. Eric and I said,okay.A year or so later it produced 12 good sized lemons. Its all in her blog if you want to check it out.(cliffordinarabia.blogspot.com) Well... You know all those catalogs you get after Christmas for gardening??? Eric and I saw for $10.00,a lemon,tangerine,orange tree. What the heck, we ordered it. it was about 6 inches when we received it. It was three different trees together in a small bundle.So we planted it and set it outside when the weather got warm. It is now 2ft tall.We brought it in just before the frost. It loves the family room window,it gets alot of afternoon sun. We noticed a few weeks ago some blossoms forming on the lemon side. We are pretty excited. If Meredith can do it in New York City, surely we can do it here.She said it took about a year for the lemons to be ripe enough to use, no problem. I think this idea is going to be very cool.

REMEMBERING LAST WINTER

We had our first snow last week. It wasn't much,but enough to make us think about last winter and the fact poor Eric came home from work and had to shovel the driveway from 4:00 to 10:00 just about everyday. So we decided to do something about it this year. We call it insurance for the fact we will probably not ever have snow again.

LOOK WHAT WE GOT!!!!! YAHOO. A BRAND NEW SNOWBLOWER.
