Howdy babies! 
I know we are all desperate for Spring.  This Winter has been brutal!

This fun and quick project I had pinned ages ago and never got around to it last year.

So, this week when I had a few hard boiled eggs that needed to be used up, I decided to give it a try.

So easy.

For each color, I mixed a cup of water, 2 tbsp vinegar and food coloring. 

Just dropped the egg whites into each color and let them sit until I liked the depth of color.

Everyone has their own recipe for the yolk portion, mine is all by eye and taste.  I just mix up the yolks until smooth, add mayo, vinegar and salt & pepper.  Then, a small sprinkling of season salt on top to finish them off.

Howdy babies.  Welcome to another week.  {blah}

With all the craziness going on in our lives the past few weeks, I needed to remind myself of all the happy things still going on around me.

Care to join me?

Hello babies.

Sorry I've been so quiet.

A couple items of news first:

Our sweet little Brandy Pants doesn't have a lung infection.  In fact, she has a Pulmonary Carcinoma.
In other words, she has lung cancer.  We are absolutely devastated.  The only treatment option is to remove the cancerous portion of her lung.  It's a majorly invasive surgery, that if we're lucky, will buy us about a year.  We've decided not to put her through that.  Right now, the medicines are helping to keep her happy and comfortable.  We will let this play out and take the absolute best care of her, until we cannot. 


We do not know how much time we have left with her, could be weeks, months, years.  But, we will make sure her every need is met and that when the time comes to set her free, there is no doubt in her mind that she is very, very loved.

And, other news:

While I was taking my mini-hiatus, the ladies decided to end The All Star Block Party.  I'm ok with that.  There are thousands of linky parties out there right now.  I hope to see all of you there!

Also, Merry has moved in with our Brother for awhile.  We desperately needed a break.  I'm working on turning her room into a guest room/office for Meg.  Fixing it up all nice for her when she comes to visit.  It will be nice to have a space of my very own to blog and chill out.  I will be sharing those fun projects soon.

Today, we are expecting Snowzilla.  At least, that's what they are telling us.  We had about an hour period of some good snow, but it's stopped for now.   We are all hunkered down waiting for the rest of 'The Storm'.  Today, I tried something fun that I've seen on Pinterest.  I made some donuts from canned refrigerated biscuits.

Just popped the cans {does that scare the CRAP out of you guys too??  LOL I'm such a baby when it comes to popping those cans open} laid them out, used a shot glass to make the holes in the center, melted a bit of Crisco and fried them up.  They cook up pretty fast.  DO NOT step away while these are frying.  And of course, I had to fry up the little holes as well.   I let them cool slightly on paper towels and made glaze {powdered sugar and a little milk} then dipped them all in the glaze and set them on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath to catch the glaze.  I also sprinkled a little sugar on the wet glaze for some sparkle.

• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups milk of your choice

Then, just add whatever flavorings you like!

Pictured above is hazelnut.  But, the options are really only limited by your imagination.
