I’m running out of ideas to post about on this blog and I’d like your help. Please vote on the poll below. I’m feeling brain dead on what else to post about here.

This is one of my grandmom’s recipes. I remember her custard, it was so good!

3 slightly beaten eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups of milk, scalded
1/2 to 1 tsp. vanilla

Combine eggs, sugar and salt. Slowly stir in the slightly cooled milk and vanilla. Set six 5 ounce custard cups in a shallow pan on an oven rack. Pour hot water around them, 1 inch deep. Pour in custard. Bake in slow oven (325 degrees) 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted off center comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled. *For 1 large custard, bake in a 1 quart casserole dish for about 60 minutes or till done.

Hubby and I are do it yourselfers. When we had our house we added on to the back of the garage in order to add another bedroom, kitchen of sorts, bathroom and living room for my parents. My father died before it was finished and he never got to see it completed. Mom moved in and loved it. I did the peel and stick floors in the kitchen and bathroom. I guess I missed something because those tiles never stayed stuck quite right. When you walked on them you could hear the adhesive letting go when you would lift your foot. I left the job to install ceramic tile in the bath to hubby.

For those of you who aren’t real handy, DoitYourself.com has over 100 forums on do it yourself home improvement projects. You can find clear instructions, some with videos, on doing things yourself in your home. Why pay an arm and a leg for wood floor when you can do them yourself for a whole lot less? In home improvement knowledge is power. It’s the power to save you money. If I had know of this place during the addition building maybe the floor tiles would have stayed stuck to the floor better! But then there were no DVD’s and I wasn’t as computer literate as I am now.

I do love to get my hands dirty and I love tools! Maybe I should have been born a guy! Haha!

I mentioned this on my other blog and I’m so excited about it I had to mention it here too! Andi got dates for redeployment back home. The earliest will be the last week of November to the 1st week of December. I just hope it doesn’t change to later than that. We are saving our pennies, literally, for this trip. It will involve a truck, trailer with a car on it and a week off of work for each of us.

I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Hot as hell. I’m so glad I have AC.
