baking blunders

Doesn't that look wonderful? To me, bread is one of the best things to eat.. especially fresh out of the oven. While preparing for the snow that came to visit my mom like everyone else in the city went grocery shopping. Although at that time there was still some pre-made bread on the shelves she picked up this frozen bread dough. We all love homemade bread around here but not so much the task it is to make it completely from scratch. This was the perfect solution. It was oh so good! I won't tell you how much of this stuff I've eaten since last night! ;)

Blunder #1 of the post: My mom left the bread out to rise late yesterday afternoon. The directions said to leave it 5-7hrs or until the bread had risen 1inch above the pan. My mom went to bed kind of early and left me in charge of the bread. Later that night I remembered the bread that I should have checked on a few hours before. It had risen about 3inches above the pan! I cooked it and it turned out pretty wonderful anyway but it was not evenly cooked. Ok, not that bad but still much to be worked on.

Blunder #2 of the post: My mom had to work late today so I decided that I would cook dinner. I had been craving chicken spaghetti for a while so decided that would be my dish. I gathered the ingredients and prepared it for the oven. My mom came in a little before I was to put it in the oven and happened to ask what kind of chicken I used. Light bulb- I hadn't used any! Somehow I had gotten through the chicken spaghetti recipe without using any chicken. Luckily it was a quick save and dinner went on as normal!

Note to future husband: I will learn to cook eventually, I promise! You and the kids will not starve.. I'm working very hard to become domestic!

Hope you've had a wonderful and warm day with all this snow still on the ground!

Until next time,

No Bread for Booneville

Can you guess what this means?

What's missing from this pictures?

Reid always tells me Booneville people are crazy and weird..

I guess I proved Reid right because I am the crazy girl taking pictures of aisles in Wal-Mart.

This would be the bread aisle in Wal-Mart on Sunday afternoon.

Why is the bread aisle empty on a Sunday afternoon?

EMPTY!!!

Well our forecast for the next few days read snow Snow SNOW!!!

When you live in a place like Booneville a little snow can make you go wild.

What are we going to eat for a whole day if we get snowed in?

Bread I guess...

I've really never understood why everyone rushes for bread when the weather gets icy but they do!

I guess its something basic and versatile to survive on.

Well guess what happened next....

The snow came!!!! It really came.. it snowed and snowed and snowed some more!!

We got between 8 and 9 inches!!

In a town that barely gets snow at all this was wonderful!!!

So all day today children young and old got out to play in the white fluffy stuff!!

I think every other house had a snowman.

Megan and I went to a house where about 10 or 15 kids around our age were playing.

We sledded (is that a word)

We also made some beautiful snow angels.

We enjoyed the snow!!!!

Thanks so much God for this wonderful white blessing! :)

love,

Lately..

Once again I've fallen behind on my blogs posts and once again I've decided to pick back up..I've been doing lots over the break... and alot of nothing as well!

Many trips have been made with Megan to Tupelo or just wherever else we can think up to go.

We are so bargain/antique shoppers let me tell you!!

I've also spent alot of time with Reid and his family this break. I'm starting to become Reids little sister Allie's full time roommate! haha Hope you didn't mind too much Allie! :)

We decided to go with a low key New Years Eve this year since it was so stormy and tornadoish. We just loaded up and headed to Whiskey Island for a few nights with Reids family, Nathan and JR. What a fun and relaxing weekend we had!!

As you can see below, I wore a crown all night long. Even though it was paper, a girl can never pass up an opportunity to wear a crown!!

Yes Reid does have on his Orvis briar pants as everyday pants! I guess I can let it slide since we are at a hunting camp! ha

On my latest trip to Reid's I begged and begged him to take me to GiGi's cupcakes. I've heard my roommate and many others rave about how wonderful they are and if you know me, you know I love cupcakes! So off we went.. Reid tried to act like he wasn't that excited about it but when we arrived at the lovely shop Reid defiantly jumped right out of the car and didn't even turn it off. Yes you heard me right, the guy that wasn't even excited to get one of those tasty cupcakes left the car running to rush in and get that yummy greatness!! haha We got there kind of late in the afternoon so a few flavors were sold out unfortunately. We settled on 3 flavors to try this time.

Wedding cake, Peanut Butter Cup, and Midnight Magic Chocolate Chip

Now that I'm here all week and halfway snowed in I must complete some things on my To Do list like:

- complete my pharmacy application process

- check in to getting my books for this upcoming semester

- start a spring break diet (yay for Punta Cana)

- organize everything to make my life easier

- do a project like paint something or restore something

That's all for now...

And here I am..

...With a new background. I inteded to do this post alot earlier in the evening but finding a new blog backgroud is alot harder than it seems. Now I'm about to fall over from exhaustion because I never stay up this late at home.. a real blog post to come tomorrow! :)

Catch-UP

So I'm back to the blogging world. I told you it would come with procrastination and here it is! Right now I'm watching the Victoria Secret Fashion show and what I would give to have that body or those wings is crazy!! haha I've just always loved it!

So what have I been up to lately?

O Happy Bid Day!! We got 95 fabulous new members that I absolutely adore!! This also means I have my free time back.. well all except for finals.

Formal has also happened since my last post. It of course was a fun time!

O and how can I forget halloween? We were the 4 season of course!!

And then it was parade of beauties time! I was beyond excited to be selected as top 25! How crazy!!

So this is my catch up post. As the week goes on I'll try to entertain you with my funny little way I go through life. Sorry it has been so long.. I need yall to keep me on my toes if I get behind again!

I promise I have not forgotten my password..

Although it may seem I have forgotten it.. I do indeed still know it! I have been super duper busy lately. Rush starts in a week and 2 days! I can not believe it.. I don't know if I'm ready for it to be over but I can not wait for it to start! I'm one of the few girls who actually does really really love rush!! I have two tests this week and the PCAT again on Saturday. I now wish I wouldn't have registered for it and just taken my first score. I'm way too busy to study for it and my score was ok the first time. O well, just maybe I'll pull something great out! For now, it's back to studying... I'll do a big catch-up-on-my-life post very very soon- promise!

Hello Summertime..

To many of you the summer is coming to an end. For me, its just begining. When I decided to do summer school I had no idea what was in store. Don't get me wrong, I love love loved being in Oxford for the summer but it definitely wasnt "summer." I feel like I could never catch my breath with class daily, 3hour labs 3 days a week, and a test every Friday. So everyone.. my summer officially began this past Friday.. for 2 whole weeks! ha You better beleive I'm going to soak up every minute I have left.
