J and I have been busy preparing for baby. I made some Christmas cards this year. Here are our Christmas Card photos, courtesy of my friend Scarlett. We took them at the Gateway Mall water fountain Christmas Tree display on December 11th. I really wanted some cute Christmas time pregnancy photos.<br />

My next big project was to go to the Old Glory Vintage Dancers Charles Dicken's Christmas Ball on December 17th. My friend Rachel even let me wear her pregnancy corset for the occasion. It was surprisingly comfortable.</div>

I made this Regency dress for my 8 month pregnancy belly. The Civil War era is all about the tiny waist and I could not find a pregnancy pattern in time. At this point in my pregnancy none of my other period clothes fit so I had to make a new dress. I had months to plan and work on it, but being the terrible procrastinator that I am, I ended up sewing the entire thing in 3 days. The ball started at 7pm, and I finished the last button hole at 7:30pm. I keep telling myself that one of these days I am going to be more organized and not rushed and not procrastinate and be on time and have enough time to do my hair pretty. One of these days... </div>

We could come dressed in any period clothing from Charles Dicken's life, 1812 - 1870. Since J does not have Regency clothes, he went with his nicest Civil War uniform, minus the sword. I know we do not match historically, but we had a fun time.<br />

32 weeks pregnant. I finally made it to the hospital safe zone. (Our hospital can take care of newborns 32 weeks and older. Under 32 weeks and baby needs to transfer to another hospital) I just need baby to stay in there another 8 weeks and we should be good.<br />

It is a Boy, A Girl, or are we going to be progressive parents and let our baby decide what gender they want to be. Or Baby was not cooperating and the Ultrasound technician could not determine the gender at this appointment and we will have to re-schedule. I am not a spontaneous person and I do not like surprises, so I decided that I really wanted to know our baby's gender before they were born. I do not have a gender preference. I just want a healthy baby. But I do want to know what color I should decorate the room, what list of names I should choose from, and what gender themed outfits and accessories I should get before baby is born. In anticipation of our big Gender Reveal Day, at 10am on Tuesday October 6th, 2015, I decided to make Cake Pops. </div>

Week 20. Baby is the size of a banana. I decided to make Banana cream pie. The recipe I found surprised me. Instead of making banana pudding, which I anticipated, my recipe called for vanilla pudding and just added sliced bananas to the bottom and top of the pie. It was pretty tasty though. My husband said he liked the vanilla pudding better than banana pudding anyways so I might be making this one again sometime soon.</div>

<h2>
Banana Cream Pie</h2>
2/3 cup sugar<br />
1/4 cup cornstarch<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
3 cups milk<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
2 Tbs butter<br />
1 Tbs vanilla<br />
Pie Crust<br />
Whipped Cream<br />
<br />
Bake pie shell at 475 degrees for 8-10 min. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in milk gradually and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 min. Gradually stir in some of the hot mixture in with 4 egg yolks in another saucepan. Slowly add to the egg yolks so the yolks do not bake, but are incorporated. Blend in the rest of the hot mixture and bring to boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 min and remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla last. Add sliced bananas to the bottom of the pie crust. Pour hot vanilla pudding over the banana slices. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 48 hours. Add another layer of bananas on top. Top with whipped cream.<br />

Here I am at 20 weeks pregnant. I made it to the half-way point. I am feeling very scared and very big. I find myself eating all the time. My pregnancy craving is chips. I normally do not like chips that much and hardly ever eat them, but I find myself craving salty chips with sour cream. I still have bouts of morning sickness and have started a "Days without Incident" board for my own amusement to keep track of how long I can go without an... incident. Since I found out I was pregnant my record has been 11 days. This week I had to re-set to 0 days again because I twisted my ankle. The added weight is throwing me off balance and the ligaments in my joints are loosening which makes me more clumsy that usual. Oh the joys of making a person.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14590134768862752413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990157903550895028.post-71512403905213310522015-09-28T10:59:00.002-07:002015-09-28T10:59:50.320-07:00Chocolate Roulade, Chocolate Jelly Roll<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My brother's birthday was yesterday. He requested a chocolate cake for dessert. I told him, "No problem, a Chocolate cake is easy". Then I went and made is harder and turned it into a Chocolate roulade. It was really not that hard. I just had never successfully made a jelly roll that held together before. I am quite proud of myself that this one turned out well rolled, not falling apart, and delicious. <br />

<h2>
Chocolate Roulade, Chocolate jelly roll</h2>
3 eggs<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1/3 cup water<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
1 cup cake flour<br />
1/4 cup cocoa powder<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
powdered sugar<br />
<br />
Chocolate Ganache<br />
4 oz semi sweet chocolate<br />
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream<br />
<br />
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs, water, and vanilla together for about 5 min until fluffy. Beat in sugar gradually. Mix together dry ingredients and slowly add to egg-sugar mixture. Beat until smooth. Pour the batter into the parchment paper lined jelly roll pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 - 15 min or until a toothpick comes out clean. Flip the cake over onto a powdered sugar or cocoa powdered covered parchment paper. Remove the top layer of parchment paper. While the cake is still warm, roll it. Refrigerate, seam side down, for 15 min. Unroll the cake and fill with chocolate ganache or jelly. Roll it up again and cut off the ends. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and refrigerate until ready to eat.<br />

I hear that ginger is a good natural remedy for morning sickness. I have had pretty bad morning sickness during this pregnancy. I also have pretty bad cake cravings. A Gingercake would take care of both of my problems. Right? I should add that this tastes better than any gingerbread I have had and it made my kitchen smell like Christmas for two days. It was amazing. I also got to finally use my Treacle. I went on a Treacle quest two years ago after reading "Alice in Wonderland." I was surprised how hard it was to find here in Utah. Thank goodness for the "London Market". </div>

Finely grate about a 4" piece of ginger root. This part smells wonderful. I will never use ginger powder again. That's a lie, but using real ginger made a huge difference.<br />

Here I am with my 17 week baby bump. The horizontal striped shirt really brings out how much weight I've gained. No more skinny jeans for me. I am starting to shop for maternity clothes. I still get bouts of morning sickness. I started a "Days without Incident" board for my own amusement to see how long I can go. The longest I have gone is 11 days since I found out I was pregnant. My goal is two weeks without an incident. I also started Prenatal Yoga this week. I hope that will help bring down my anxiety about having a baby.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14590134768862752413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990157903550895028.post-11228086330455326592015-09-13T09:36:00.001-07:002015-09-13T09:54:57.086-07:00Apple Dumplings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found this darling recipe in my 1978 Betty Crocker cookbook. The cookbook was a wedding gift to my parents. I "borrowed" it from my Mom a couple of years ago. To this day it still has the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried. The cookie chapter is worn and stained with years of family love. We had what Mom called "Brownie Sunday". It was not always brownies, just a dessert baking day, and always on a Sunday. Chocolate Chip cookies were made just as often as brownies. I honestly think the cookie chapter was the only chapter we used growing up. I found this recipe as I was flipping through the book. I was craving a dessert that I could pour heavy whipping cream over something hot out of the oven.</div>

While I was waiting for the crust to bake on the orange bars I realized I had more orange juice left. This meant I could do a second dessert! <br />
<br />
Whip together eggs, sugar, orange juice, salt and baking powder and pour over the hot crust. Put it back in the 350 degree oven for 25 min.<br />

J and I will have been married for 9 years this November 2015. This event has been a long time coming. Our first few years of marriage I thought we would have children within 2-3 years, like my siblings. When that did not happen I went through a phase that we were never going to have children, that we did not even want kids. Then I went through the baby obsessed phase and really wanted to have one of our own. Now that this is finally happening I am terrified and kind of excited. Terricited. <br />

I first suspected that I might be pregnant the 1st of June, 2015. It was when I started my resolution to increase my running distance and look into running a marathon. Nope. I could not jog on the treadmill anymore. My breasts hurt. My body hurt. I hurt. Everything felt slightly off. We started calling my "yucky-hurt" condition the "Maybe Baby". I took the pregnancy test June 23rd, 2015. The results were no surprise, just a confirmation.</div>

July 14th, Week 9. I had my first ultrasound. Baby is the size of a kidney bean and due </div>

February 14th, 2016. </div>
I went through 3 months of morning sickness. It was awful. The worst was the entire month July. I was throwing up every day, multiple times a day. I had caught a bad head cold and could not take any medicine for it. I could not breathe. Then I went and spilled hot soup on myself in the lunch room at work, thus scalding my chest, tummy, and lap (inner thighs). I had both legs wrapped with second degree burns and it hurt when I walked. There was one point where I could not even drink water without vomiting. I lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks.<br />

Since I was finally out of the first trimester, you know the scary miscarriage probability time, I was through the worst of the morning sickness, and I was starting to show, we decided that now would be a good time to announce our decision to become parents to my parents. August 22nd is J's birthday. We invited my parents and siblings over to celebrate. Only one sibling made it, but she had 4 kids with her. I made porcupine meatballs, bacon risotto and yellow cake with orange cream frosting. We picked out a "Congratulations on becoming Grandparents" card and gave it to my parents after dinner. It was the best reaction I could have hoped for. They had no idea it was coming. They are happy for us. I love my parents so much.</div>

Angel Food Cake is perfect for Strawberry Shortcake. I used to watch the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. I used to play with Strawberry Shortcake dolls. I even had the Strawberry doll house. Every once in a while I like to pretend that I am inviting all the dolls over to my house for dessert. Except the Purple Pie Man, he was a jerk. I love this cake recipe because it delicious, fairly quick to make, and I only need a few ingredients so I rarely have to run to the store in the middle of baking if I forget something. I have also been able to successfully make this recipe with half the ingredients if I don't want to eat that much cake.</div>

While I was waiting for it to finish baking I whipped up a dish of heavy cream. Strawberries and Cream are my favorite thing to eat. I added Orange extract instead of vanilla this time to change things up a bit.<br />

We finally got snow. It was a Christmas Miracle. We have not had much snow this year. Our little dog Charlie loves snow. I thought we had a black dog, but when he was done playing, we had a white dog. </div>

I made Gingerbread cookies. I was craving something ginger for the holidays. I know a lot of people with allergies so I am always looking for recipes without the offending ingredient. This is a good recipe for egg allergies.<br />

<h2>
Gingerbread Cookies</h2>
1 and 1/2 cup dark molasses<br />
1 cup brown sugar<br />
2/3 cup water<br />
1/3 cup shortening<br />
7 cups flour (plus more for rolling out the dough)<br />
2 tsp baking soda<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp allspice<br />
2 tsp ginger<br />
1 tsp cloves<br />
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
<br />
Mix together the wet ingredients and sugar. Add dry ingredients and mix until it clumps together. Form into a ball, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Roll out and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min.<br />

I like to roll it out and cover it instead of ball it and cover when I refrigerate. Makes rolling out later so much easier.<br />

This was a significant batch of gingerbread cookies in that it was the first time #1 - I did not burn them and #2 - I did not break any coming off the pan. I think my problem is that I always roll out too thin. But if I roll it out too thick the shape deforms in the oven. I have not quite got the perfect thickness down yet, but I am working on it. <br />

I received all 4 Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa tins for Christmas last year and decided to make them my entry way table Christmas display. Then I found out there was a Penguin. Due to my OCD I became obsessed with obtaining the penguin. I saw it at my parent's house. I could not stop talking about it for at least two weeks, Since I could not find it in any store (I checked 5) on Christmas Day I took my parent's penguin. Then the next day I went back for the hot chocolate.<br />
<br />
Now my life is complete. I have the best husband in the world, a new vacuum, gingerbread cookies, and the penguin.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas.<br />

Walnut Streusel Coffee Cake, or as I have come to call it, My 4 Bowls. <br />
In a bowl #1 mix walnuts, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon and set aside.<br />
In bowl #2 place egg whites and allow to stand at room temperature for 30 min while preparing everything else. Then whip into stiff peaks and fold into cake batter.<br />

I always hold my breath and pray when I have to flip cakes over and take them out of the pan. I was so relieved that this came out in one piece. I have a history of bunt cakes not coming out.<br />

I have a long and sordid history with yeast. I have more bread failures than successes. Due to my impatient nature, lack of confidence, or years of past experience with things failing to rise; I am afraid yeast. Therefore, it was quite the conundrum when I found this recipe for mini donuts. I love donuts. I have been looking for a baked donut recipe for years, but when I finally find one I was dismayed that it requires one of my most feared ingredients. Needless to say this time it worked. This time... </div>

I would like to thank the Idaho Civil War Volunteer group for putting on an amazing "Gem County: The River Through Time" event at Emmett, Idaho Oct 3rd - 5th, 2014. They were so kind and welcoming towards us. We really appreciate this wonderful group of Civil War enthusiasts for making our trip totally worth it and cementing some great friendships which we look forward to cultivating in years to come.</div>

We bought a new car. My Pop Can died and J's Blue is getting on in years so we figured we needed a new hauler. We name all our cars. We named this 2004 Honda CV-4, Ginga. This was Ginga's first Civil War re-enactment. She did well. Our 6 foot ridge poles fit. That was the number one factor in buying a new car. Had to fit the Civil War gear.</div>

Rebel Camp with Fletch.<br />
<br />
J and I had a great time in Idaho. We would like to thank the re-enactors for being so warm and welcoming towards us. We made some good friends and shared some great food. Everyone was so kind towards us outsiders. We would also like to thank Emmett, Idaho for providing beautiful weather all three days we were there. My teeth did not chatter once with cold. On a personal note I am a high anxiety person, and I have to admit that this was the first three days in over a year that I actually felt relaxed. I need more vacations like this.<br />

This year I found out that she died of Typhoid fever during the Typhoid fever outbreak of 1875 in Salt Lake City. Because she was non-mormon she was denied burial in the Salt Lake City cemetery and had to be buried in the military cemetery at Fort Douglas. It probably helped that her father was Major James F. Bradley a Civil War veteran who served with the Minnesota 8th regiment company E and when he came to Utah joined up with the The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) a national organization of Union Army Veterans where he was promoted to Senior Vice Commander. Apparently he was a man of some reputation.</div>

It got so bad, about the denial of Salt Lake City non-mormon cemetery burials, that President Ulysses S. Grant signed an Act of Congress to establish Mount Olivet Cemetery in 1874 to designate a burial place for all people. The board of Trustees consisted of a minister and one layman from each of the five denominations having churches in Salt Lake City.</div>

The Salina, Utah Massacre Ghosts. 9 German POWs held in Salina, Utah were shot by a drunken guard one night. The murderer was never convicted, found incompetent to stand trial, got out of the insane asylum and lived the rest of his life like nothing happened. Government conspiracy cover-up. Some of the relatives of the deceased did not even know their loved ones were murdered for 2 years after the event took place.</div>

Then for Halloween I decorated the house. I normally put up the Pirate Flag in the window, but this year I went all out with the spider web. I love spiders. Giant spiders. You know, the ones that don't really exist because if they did they would be crushed by the weight of their own chitin shell and there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support an arachnid that big anyway.<br />

I even made a Halloween display table. J painted the skull and we found a pretty glass dome for it to enhance the creepy effect. The old-timey chemistry vials I have had for a couple of years now and finally have a place to display them properly.<br />

I dedicate this post to Wade Smith who gave me the Sour dough starter. Thank you. I finally did it Wade. I used the starter and made something with it and it turned out delicious. Thank you thank you thank you.</div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sourdough bread</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 cup sourdough started</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 Tbs melted lard or shortening</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp Baking soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8 cups flour (plus more if needed and for kneading)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 and 1/2 cup warm water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Tbs salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Combine starter, all the water, and 3 cups of flour the night before and place in a warm, draft free place. The next morning add other ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl in a warm place and let rise to double. Knead down again, shape into loaves, and let rise to the top of the pan plus a little and bake in greased pans in moderate oven at 375 for about an hour until done. When it sounds hollow it is ready. Turn out on racks and let cool.</div>

Take out of the pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Unless you have no patience like me and burn your fingers cutting it early and just let the butter melt onto the hot bread.<br />

I got a new job. I work nights. I am either asleep or at work. As such I feel like I do not have time for extra curricular activities as I used to do such as Baking, Cooking, Cleaning, Civil War re-enacting, Sewing, Victorian era dancing, Aikido Martial Arts, Jogging, Exercise, Shutterfly, Blogging, Reading, Pinterest, and Facebook. Yes, my beloved pinterest and facebook followers, my new night job is to blame for the reason that you no longer see my Civil War ball gowns, brownies, or daily Grumpy Cat re-posts. I miss my daily Grumpy Cat so much. </div>

To plan for this I used my precious Saturdays to go shopping for utensils, decorations, and print off recipes. I put all my dry ingredients in bags so baking time would be easier. I made frosting a couple of days ahead of time. I had my brother and sister lined up to come early to help decorate and despite his catastrophic sewage back-up flooding his apartment, my brother bravely came early to help me. He is a very responsible young man. I made the games and printed them weeks beforehand. But even with all my pre-preparation, I still only got 4 hours of sleep in two days. I am a stress monster. But in the end I think it came together beautifully. All we really needed was friends and family and cake and I can do cake.</div>

Behold the dream. To have a house of our own. To be landed gentry. To no longer be poor white trailer trash, but poor white landowners. To sign away 30 years of our lives to a faceless, heartless corporate entity, a financial institution, a mortgage company. For is that not the American dream. But, like so many heroes of legend and lore that have gone before us, we had to enter the Heart of Darkness before we could emerge into the brightness of the sun. Despair, heartache and many challenges lay ahead of us before the dream was to be ours.<br />

Behold the Board of Woe. Let me explain. Nay! The complexities, tedium and minutia are too great Let me instead sum up. See you here a timeline of major events as they occurred.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
April 1st, 2014 - We put the trailer (our home of almost 13 years) up for sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
April 12th - A potential buyer makes an offer.<br />
April 14th - The offer is accepted and a deal is struck.<br />
April 17th - A manic day of house hunting ensues, a suitable abode is found and an offer is made.<br />
April 18 - 19th -A Bidding War breaks out, offer, counter offer and our eventual victory (Key dramatic music please). (J met a bank teller who was a friend of the couple we engaged in the bidding war with when he went to deposit the money from the sale of the trailer. Oh, great are my feelings of despair that your friends lost the bidding war, I am so sorry.... no I'm not because they lost to us and we wanted, nay, needed the house more.)<br />
April 21st - Our buyer pays us in cash for the trailer.<br />
April 22nd - The House Inspector, mortgage appraiser and umpteen visits to bring yet more paperwork, initial signing, mid signing and final signing of Loan papers through Axiom Financial (great people to work with)<br />
April 23 - 27th -Exercises in logistics (i.e. packing)</div>

April 29th - I am laid off from my job of 9 years. Bolt from the blue. No warning. Hello Kim we need you in a 3:00 pm meeting. How are things going for you today? We have decided to eliminate your position, please turn in your key card and leave the building immediately. You may return tomorrow morning to get the rest of your belongings. Pip pip cheerio. I was needless to say stunned, laid low, gobsmacked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
April 30th - Go back to Axiom Financial and appraise them of the situation and redo the loan on just J's salary, since I no longer have an income to contribute to the mortgage.</div>

May 5th - Pop-Can goes the way of all flesh and shuffles of its mortal coil. My beloved 2003 Kia Rio's timing belt broke whilst driving down the road (we were driving to J's work from a bank run) this resulted in bent valves turning my darling car into a rather large brick (with comfy seats). This malady occurred at the corner of homeless and panhandler's. An area that contains not one, not two, but three homeless shelters within a three block radius. One sees the same panhandlers in this section of town every day. And here I was. Within one week I had become homeless, jobless, and car-less. Was this then to be my fate also? I have never felt so very worthless in my life.</div>

She was sold for a pittance $220 (apparently the going rate fore a large brick with comfy seats). Twas all I could get. So deep was my dispair that I am not ashamed to say that tears were shed.<br />

But we got it worked out with Axiom Financial (they worked so hard for us). They set us up with a different loan. We had a higher monthly payment, but we could refinance to the original loan once I got a job. Everything worked out in the end. My parents generously allowed me to borrow one of their cars so I could get around and we continued the process of buying our new house.<br />
<br />
May 17th, 2014. Everything was approved, we got the house key and we were able to move into the small fortified building that we now call home.<br />

My sisters and their husbands helped move us in. They sealed off one of the upstairs bedroom for the kids to play in while we all hauled boxes. <br />

We had five days to move. We put the house on the market April 1st. We had our first and only walk through April 12th, followed by an offer on April 14th, 2014. Crazy fast. We had seen trailers in our neighborhood with "For Sale" signs for at least 6 months. One of our neighbors took two years to sell their place. We expected 6 months. It was on the market for about 2 weeks.</div>

We signed papers and got the money April 21st... in cash. We were not expecting him to come with his girlfriend, two adorable little girls, and pay in cash. It was terrifying to have that much cash in our house overnight. After our buyer had left (around 11pm at night), we took turns holding the stack of bills. Our buyer wanted to move in Sunday afternoon because they needed to be out of their apartment by April 28th. If they had stayed another day they would have had to sign another one year lease. Since my husband is such a nice guy, we agreed to their terms. My Dad's opinion was "Screw 'em, move out when your ready to leave." We had experienced this before on the other end though. When J originally bought the trailer the little old lady who lived there took 2 months AFTER papers were signed and he officially owned the place to get her stuff moved out. J had to live in an extended stay hotel during the wait time and did not want anyone to go through that again. So that left us with only 5 days to clear everything out.<br />

We had a small 5' x 10' storage unit that we had started filling in March. Getting the house ready to show we had to de-clutter a bit to make the space look bigger.<br />

But alas, our 10'x10' was not big enough for 12 years of stuff so we had to get another 5'x10' to shove it all in. This storage unit was stuffed full on Saturday April 26th, 2014. The day of the rain. Utah, being a scrub desert, does not get much moisture. Saturday was the only day we were able to utilize the help family members to move the big furniture items (bed, tv, futon, tv stand, dresser, painting table, etc) and their truck. This was the only day in the month of April that it rained. And rained. And rained. And rained. It continued raining all day, all night, and into the next morning.

<span id="goog_458088884"></span><span id="goog_458088885"></span>Yes, we miss our trailer very much. But it was time to move on and into a house of our own. But before that we spent the next month in a tiny basement bedroom at my parent's house while we were working through paper-work for the new house.<br />

I started online house hunting December 2013, and intensified my searches to daily or near daily around February 2014. By the time we put the house up for sale in April I knew what I wanted, where I wanted it, and what we could afford. The trailer was "sold" April 14th and we knew we had about a week before we would meet with the buyer April 21st and sign the papers to finish the deal. That left us with one week to find a house. So we worked with our selling the trailer agent Kathy Jensen (nicest person in the world to work with) and our work schedules which ended up giving us about one day to hunt for houses. We saw six and picked one. Since I did not take pictures of the rejected houses, I will give their designated nicknames instead.<br />
<br />
1 - The painted paneling basement house with the scary furnace room.<br />
2- The crooked cupboard house. Everything about it was run down and in various stages of disrepair.<br />
3 - The Grandma House. Complete with popcorn sealing, a laughably tiny kitchen, green linoleum floors, and brown shag carpet.<br />
4 - The crazy Russian house. As we were greeted by a crazy Russian lady in her bathrobe who proceeded to take us on a tour of her dirty house, expect the room her brother slept in because he worked the night shift.<br />
5 - The fixer-upper. When you walk in and see the refrigerator in the living room, you know something's up. There was also a tangled bird-nest of wiring in the back.<br />
6 - The our house. The Fort.<br />

$10,000 out of my price range (I'm the cheap one in the relationship), but move in ready and met most of our must haves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Fort was on the market 11 days. We put in a bid. Then three hours later another couple put in their bid and we got in a bidding war. With steel, skill, and heart we won that war and began the loan process.<br />

At all times in my freezer I like to have 1 - frozen pie crust, 2 - Filo dough, and 3 - Puff Pastry for those "just in case" quick to make pastry desserts. After all I am a dessert fiend. Secretly I also like eating frozen pie crust dough. It's a texture thing. Imagine my joy when I finally found a recipe in which I can make my own puff pastry. This fits right in with my "make everything from scratch" goal this year.</div>

After 12 years we are finally selling our Palatial Estate. This year, 2014, we say goodbye to our first home as a married couple. It is hard to believe we have stayed here this long. J bought the bachelor pad back in December 2001. We got married November 2006. I moved from my parent's house to his house. It has been a perfect house for two people and a cat. But with Takashi gone for nearly a year now it is time to say goodbye to his ghost and move on.<br />

Behold the mighty living room. Minus the other bookcase, all of J's swords, our Civil War photos, our wedding photos, and the microfiber armchair that used to be in that big open space corner by the bookcase and the light. Note the original 1970's wood paneling is in excellent condition.<br />

We learned that to sell a home we needed to de-clutter, and de-personalize, so that is what we did. We wanted to make our trailer look open, bright, and inviting. De-personalize to make potential buyers imagine what their stuff would look like in the trailer instead of our stuff.<br />

The bedroom looks so empty without the other bookshelf, the random stuff shoved into each corner, more swords, pictures, model guns, the trio of axes, maces, the throwing star collection, the morning star near the bed, and the katana and wakizashi set above the head board. Sigh.<br />

Being of Irish descent my family has always celebrated St. Patrick's Day. My parents would make a rainbow out of rolls of colored crepe paper that descended from the top of the banister down to the kitchen table and ended at a pot filled with chocolate gold coins. Then we would have green pancakes, or green eggs and ham for breakfast. Yeah, my parents were creative like that. Since they both work full time now and the kids are grown and moved out of the house they don't do much holiday creativity anymore. I have decided to step up to the plate in the celebrating of St. Patrick's Day and have vowed to make something special and green every year. For my St. Patrick's Day cake this year I wanted to do a surprise inside.</div>

To make a hole in the middle of the cakes I could do this two ways:<br />
1 - Bake a hole. - Which I did this time with a biscuit cutter.<br />
2 - Cut out a hole. - Which I did last time for an American Flag Cake I made two years ago.<br />

Water<br />
Vanilla<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Microwave a handful of mini marshmallows with a few drops of water for 10 seconds at a time and s</span><span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">tir with a buttered spoon until the marshmallows are melted and smooth. </span><br />
Stir in about 1 tsp of vanilla. <br />
(I like Wilton's clear vanilla extract, because it keeps the fondant looking white. <a href="http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E30D833-475A-BAC0-52C00F6FD95206EF&killnav=1">Clear Vanilla</a>)<br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Knead in powdered sugar until the dough is stiff, but pliable. Feels like play dough.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Store in an air tight ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 – 4 months. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When ready to use, bring the fondant to room temperature. </span><br />

I always feel like I am somehow cheating when I make microwave marshmallow fondant. I know how to make regular glycerine fondant and marshmallow fondant with a double boiler, but the microwave fondant is so much easier and faster and I can get the same consistency as Wilton fondant, only it tastes better. Maybe it is because I feel like working with Fondant is hard. It can be hard to cover a cake and it can be hard to make pretty flowers. Since working with fondant can be hard and time consuming, making it should he hard and time consuming. But it's not. Making fondant is scary easy and a lot cheaper than Wilton's ready to use fondant. So here is a new goal for myself: Stop buying ready made fondant. Get a bag of marshmallows and make it.</div>

I have champagne taste on a beer budget. But since I do not drink alcohol it is more like Martinelli's taste on a Big K soda budget. I love seafood. But living in a landlocked scrub desert such as Utah, good seafood is hard to come by... I take that back. I can get good seafood in Utah, I just cannot afford it. So I try to make due with less expensive products, like imitation crab meat. Less than that. Kroger brand imitation crab meat on sale because it is close to the expiration date. Snatched that deal up in a heart beat. Now, that is a luxury I can afford. </div>

Imitation Crab Cakes</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
16 oz crab meat (2 packages)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 egg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup mayonnaise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 Green onions, chopped</div>
Salt and Pepper to taste<br />
2 tsp +/- lemon juice<br />
4 Tbs +/- dry Bread crumbs<br />
Flour<br />
1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />
<br />
Add seasonings, bread crumbs, and green onions to the crab meat and mix together. Add egg, mayonnaise, and some lemon juice. Mix that together. If it is too soft add more bread crumbs, 1 Tbs at a time. Form into flattened disks and refrigerate, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 30+ minutes, or overnight. Dredge in flour and fry in vegetable oil over medium heat for 5 - 8 min per side (or until golden brown). Serve hot.<br />

Real crab meat is already flaky and fine. Imitation crab meat comes in sheets that need to be broken up, so a food processor and a few quick pulses work great to get it to that same feathery texture.<br />
