Really Nice Job ELIZA! Be sure and keep it neat and tidy for the Schagitoke Fair in August!
OK - so after way too much flu and several cancellations and postponements we FINALLY had a major outing this Fall! After working to start cinnamon rolls (for breakfast) as soon as everyone got there - we had tacos. We're VERY sorry that Brianna couldn't be there. This great menu choice was hers - and everyone really enjoyed them.... We also missed Alyssa - Amanda - Kathleen and - Ruby!
Once we finished up dinner - we shifted gears into our 2nd project of the night - SOUP JARS! We made 37 of them - everyone got to take some home for gifts! NICE JOB EVERYONE! Remember - no family members get these - an ACQUAINTENCE - not even good friends - an ACQUAINTENCE!
....... Count - measure - 1/2 cup of beans - watch out not too many on the floor - 2t of minced onion, 2t of boullion, 1 t of this, 1/2 t of that and 1/4 c of brown sugar! Nice job with all the measurements kids - - - It was a bit intense for awhile -
and then we had to seal them up and decorate them with special tags Mrs. Winckler made! Thanks to everyone for getting us your ingredients - even if you couldn't be here. We really appreciate the follow thru! I'm sure everyone will rave about the Thrills & Skills Bean Soup Mix!
Then it was time to punch down our yeast dough. NICE JOB - it worked. It was a bit delayed because SOMEONE was late and we didn't have a toasty fire going early on - but the dough eventually warmed up and doubled like it was supposed to!
Then after it was punched down and rolled out - - it was time to smear butter, sugar, cinnamon, raisins and pecans all over! NOW - this is cookin' folks!
Then we had dessert (thank-you Hannah - it was perfect!) and settled down to listen to Mrs Donlon. She taught us how to weave coasters on home-made cardboard weaving boards! They are awesome! Don't forget to bring these to meetings to finish up!
Everyone started to settle into their night-spots around 10pm - - and slept until almost 8am. All of you were GREAT guests - I'd host you all again real soon! In the morning we enjoyed our cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then made home-made French Knitters! Mrs. M has nick-named them RED NECK KNITTERS - as they are made from a $1 piece of PVC pipe - the name seems fitting. Here Mrs. Johnson and Eliza struggle to find those stitches! Don't worry gals - you'll get the hang of this.
