Andy's Pond

These posts come from a site on FB called Evanston Classifieds which is located in the Evanston WY area.  It is actually a site for buying and selling stuff….like a huge, year round, county yard sale.  However, this conversation took place on March 15 on this site regarding the story of Andy Johnson in Wyoming and his fight with the EPA to keep his pond that WY state had approved with permits.

(see the article at:  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/03/14/wyoming-welder-faces-75000-a-day-in-epa-fines-over-what-he-built-on-his-own-property/)

Judge for yourselves what this fight is really about.

Call to Impeach Obama


I don't post this lightly but I think that it's time.  So please read and share this if you agree.  This morning I received the following from a friend.  I'll add his name later if he wants me to do so....

Congress of the United States, Articles of Impeachment against Richard M Nixon,
Article 2
"1. He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavored to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposes not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be initiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner."

The types of things that Obama is guilty of caused Nixon to be impeached. This article from Nixon's impeachment only touches upon ONE of the violations that Obama is guilty of. This does not even include his culpability for his involvement in Benghazi or the constitutional abuses that his executive orders and other 'activities' have and will instigate. So what's holding up Obama's impeachment? 

Like, share, and send a copy of this to every single one of your Congressmen if you agree. 

Here's where you find out who your representatives are and how to contact them: http://www.house.gov/representatives/
And here it is for your Senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

For the sake of our children, our country, and the common good of this land. We cannot let this man's crimes go unpunished.

Please send some simple letters and emails before it gets to the point that we have to take up arms!  Or arms are taken up against us!

Texas Sheet Cake





Don't substitute non-fat anything in this recipe.  It won't be as good.


Cake:

1 cup butter
1 cup water
1/4 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla
Icing (recipe below)

Icing:

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1 box (1 pound) confectioners’ sugar (sift it first to remove lumps – otherwise icing remains lumpy)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Chopped Pecans (optional)

For the cake: In a saucepan, combine the butter, water and cocoa over med. heat until the butter melts. Don’t let it cook too long. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, eggs, and baking soda. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Careful, it’s hot. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Pour into a sheet cake pan or jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degress for 20 minutes.

Mix well with a mixer to remove lumps. Spread over the sheet cake while it is STILL hot.

Cinnamon Toast


Such a simple thing really but cinnamon toast brings back memories of breakfast with grandma.  This cinnamon toast takes it to a whole new level.  I love the crunchy cinnamony bits on top.  It is the perfect compliment to my morning beverage and tastes as good as or even better than a gooey cinnamon roll.  And so much easier!  It is also healthier for me because I can use organic ingredients on my organic 9 grain bread from Bountiful Baskets.  

Recipe:

Ingredients

8slices Bread (I used my 9 grain organic BB bread)
1stick Salted Butter, Softened
½cup Sugar (more To Taste)
teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1teaspoon Vanilla Extract (more To Taste)
¼teaspoons Ground Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Smash softened butter with a fork. Add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Mix until completely combine.
Spread on slices of bread.  Completely cover the surface all the way to the edges.
Place toast on a cookie sheet. Place cookies sheet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubbling. Watch so it won’t burn!
Remove from oven and cut slices into halves diagonally.

Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie

Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie

And Strawberry Mango Syrup

Yummy!


This morning...for breakfast...I served up some of my fresh Bountiful Baskets strawberries for breakfast.  I made French toast from my BB nine grain bread and served it topped with Strawberry Mango Syrup.  We also had Strawberry Banana Mango smoothies with it. I like to experiment with flavors....that's the kind of cook that I am so I rarely follow a recipe exactly.  However, these two recipes are all my own.  I hope you enjoy them.
I scored a bullet type blender at a yard sale yesterday for $10 so I just had to try it out...this was part of the inspiration for my culinary adventure.  If you don't have a bullet or similar blender, a regular blender or a food processor will also work.


Strawberry Mango syrup
1/2 very ripe mango
7-8 large strawberries
Cranberry Raspberry juice (enough to fill the larger bullet cup about 3/4 of the way.  Approx 1.5 cups.  I used Langers)
1/4 cup sugar (or use hone, agave, stevia, etc. but adjust the proportions)

1.  Blend the mango, strawberry, and juice until smooth making certain that there are no lumps left.
2.  Pour into small sauce pan.
3.  Add sugar.
4.  Bring to a boil. Turn down heat and continue a slow boil for approximately 10 min.  
5. Check to make sure that sugar is dissolved.
6.  Cool and serve or refrigerate.

Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie
1 small extra ripe frozen banana
1/2 mango sliced
5-6 frozen strawberries
Pineapple Coconut juice (enough to fill the larger bullet cup about 3/4 of the way.  Approx 1.5 cups.  I used a natural brand from a health food store.)

1.  Blend the mango, strawberry, banana and juice until smooth making certain that there are no lumps left (unless you like it that way).  Shake if necessary.
2.  Serve.

Enjoy!  My teenage son loved it!

DIY Gel Room Deodorizers



~~~HOMEMADE AIR FRESHENERS~~~ FB post by Courtney Luper

These gel air fresheners are the perfect project! they take a total of five minutes to make, are highly economical, and each jar should last you about a month. These would also make great gifts! 

To make these little beauties, you first need heat-proof jars, food coloring, and essential oil. You can find inexpensive essential oils of various scents at craft stores and some grocery stores. I chose a raspberry scented oil...it smells delightful!

Into each jar, drop a few drops (I repeat...a few...it doesn't take more than 2 or 3) of food coloring.

Then, put in about 30 drops of essential oil, give or take. The more essential oil you put in, the stronger the smell.

Now for the fun part. Gather up 4 envelopes of unflavored gelatin, a tablespoon of salt, and 2 cups of cold water.

Why salt? Salt (or vodka) apparently help to keep the gel from molding. Interesting fact, isn't it?!?

Get one cup of water boiling on the stove. When it begins to boil, whisk in the gelatin, stirring until it's all dissolved.

Then, pour in the other cup of cold water and the salt, stirring until the salt is dissolved.

Quickly pour the hot gelatin mixture in each of your jars, and then use a disposable stick or spoon to stir it into the oil and food coloring.

Let these gel overnight, and then voila! Air freshener!
