PROGRESS ON MY QUILT

It will be a whole lot cuter when I get those yellow flowers in place.

I am pretty pokey,

but it is fun!

 



Spring???

Spring is trying to be here.

The ice is gone from the pond.

 

 

 Looks like some things need some repair.

 

 

The outhouse is a bit crooked,

wouldn't you say?

 



I saw a robin, or robins!

Can you see him in the tree?

I can't either, but he was there!

 









The tree cutter has some piles of branches to take care of.

 

 At this time of the year, I like to see if I can see any gold in this little stream.

I picked up a rock that looked like gold,

until it was out of the water.

"All that glitters is not gold."

Still a bit of snow here and there and in the woods.
We had more snow last night,
but it is gone today and it is raining instead.
That looks like spring!



KARI'S RECIPE

 

I made this recipe for our Easter Sunday breakfast last week.

A little bitty piece came back home.

It is very good,

DECADENT, in fact.

 

CINNAMON ROLL CAKE

 

Cake: 

3 C. flour               Mix all ingredients together except for the butter. Slowly

1/4 t. salt              stir in melted butter and pour into a greased 9 X 13 pan.

1 C. sugar

4 t. baking powder

1 1/2 C. milk

2 eggs

2 t. vanilla

1/2 C. butter, melted

 

Topping: 

1 C. butter softened     Mix all together.  Drop evenly over batter & swirl

1C. brown sugar          with a knife.  Bake at 350 degrees for 28 - 32 min.

2 T. flour                                     

1 T. cinnamon

 

Glaze: 

2 C.  powdered sugar     Drizzle over warm cake.

5 T. milk

1 t. vanilla

 

If I make this again, I will cut the butter for the topping to 1/2 C.  Not only is it decadent, it is also unnecessary in my opinion.  I know that Kari thought this was easier and/or faster than making cinnamon rolls.  However I did everything possible on Saturday night and still spent about 20 on it on Sunday morning.
