Kitchen Creations

I apologize that the words and pictures aren't lining up in this post...I am not sure what is going on, but I can't get it to work right. So, we're just going to have to live with it.
Last weekend I spent most of the day on Saturday making stuff from pears. I canned about 15 quarts of pear sauce, 5pints of pear preserves, and made a bunch of little jars of pear honey. The pear honey isn't actually honey--it's pears, sugar, and pineapple juice cooked until it's the color and consistancy of honey. Yum!









Scott was in Oklahoma City last week for a conference. He left the camera at home, however, so no pictures. Highlights included a trip to the OK City bombing memorial (and a stamp for the national park passport!), and attending the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Chicago Bulls basketball game.
I worked from home today, so I had time to make a yummy supper. I made a meatloaf (turkey and pork) stuffed with bacon, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella cheese. It was pretty good!
Here it is, all ready to roll up:





And here we are mid-roll. I've never made anything like this before, and I discovered that when you make a meatloaf roll, the meat tends to split. BUT, you can just mush it back together!




I decided since I was making a yummy meal, I might as well set the table!
And here is the final product!
I also made some rolls and a baked sweet potato. My plate presentation wasn't very good...it looks like the food was frowning! Don't worry, it was very tasty!
I also found time to clean the bathroom. After I finished, I decided to hang up a little shelving thing I've had for a while. Now my q-tips and band-aids are easy to access!
In other exciting news, Pella Christian volleyball won their Regional final tonight, and are going to State for the 4th year in a row!!! Go Eagles!
