January Rewind & Episodes 4 - 5

January Rewind 

I am going to share a few highlights from January and Episodes 4 - 5 from our 52ish weeks.

Birthday Pie

My husband celebrated a birthday in January. I made him a pecan pie, without using corn syrup.  This recipe is a little more time consuming than using corn syrup, but it is so good. The secret ingredient is bourbon. 

 

 January has been brisk, but we have been brave and got out and about a few times for walks along the river.

 

I have been receiving cribbage lessons from my husband. So far I have not won a game. Hmmm.. should I start to wonder about my instructor? 

Ha! 

Texas Grapefruit in season at the market. I like to sprinkle powder sugar on my grapefruit.

 

Episode # 4 of 52ish weeks

We hiked along the Red Cedar river. It was snowing lightly during our hike. 

As we walked all of a sudden this mouse came out from under a tree, he came right up to us. We had Ernie with us too, so I was in shock how this fella actually posed for a photo. Our dog Ernie was in shock as well, he did not even bark.  

What are you people doing out in this weather?

 

Episode #5

We had different plans for our day datn' but the weather did not want to cooperate.

 Plan B it was with movie night.

My husband makes the best popcorn.
