Wednesdays post on Thurdsay

Wednesday was a busy day here. I was seriously in a cooking mood. From the time I got up, 'til the time I went to bed, I was cooking something!

First were the cinnamon apples. Nothing reminds me of meals at Gma and Gpa Schreuder's like cinnamon apples. They are really simple to do. In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and a small bag of cinnamon red hots. Simmer together until red hots are completely dissolved. Add peeled apple slices and simmer until they are tender. Remove and drain the slices. They are best cold. But some have been known not to make it to the fridge!

The finished product

Next was the homemade lemon meringue pie. Betty Crocker cookbook......the long recipe. Every time I make this I think I'm going to end up with carpal tunnel from the stirring! I know there are quicker and easier recipes out there, but in my opinion, nothing beats the one from Betty Crocker (and it's the one Mom always used). The meringue is a "never fail" recipe. It usually stands up 4-5 inches, but I only got about 3 out of it yesterday due to the high humidity.




Hey Dad and Bill-----don't you wish you were here?!?!


Ok, now it's lunch time. Salmon patties, mac n cheese (out of the Blue box), peas and cinnamon apples. Simple, but yet oh so good!

Ainz wanted some more Jell-o, so I let her pick a color and we made Jell-o before her nap. She picked purple of course!

Something for Plowboy........(since lucky me, he doesn't like Lemon pie!!!)


The original Toll House chocolate chip cookies


More Jell-o, this time for Thursday Lunch. (Maybe I'll take the camera today and blog about Thursday Lunch later). A 9x13 pan of orange Jell-o with a can of crushed pineapple in it.

I also need to take a dessert or 2 to Thurs. Lunch. There is this cake mix in my pantry that screams "Why did you buy me if you aren't going to make me???" every time I open the door. So it got made! Lemon bundt cake with vanilla/lemon glaze.

Phone rings......it's Terry (Plowboy's sister)....."Grandma is making fried chicken, can you and Ainz come up.....and bring some mashed potatoes?!" Mashed potatoes it is!!!

Fried chicken twice in one week, how lucky are we???!!!!

And last but not least, I made a pan of DeNene's Coconut Crunch Delight dessert.

Whew! Time for bed! I'll do dishes tomorrow......after I get back back from Thursday Lunch!


As Pioneer Woman would say "Just keepin' it real"!

Pete used to take jars of cinnamon apples to back with him to college - mine would be really red - and tell him roomies they were beets so no one else would eat them.

Dad's Pietenpol Dream - A Reality

The following article was written by my Dad's wife, Gloria. Dream of building, flying own airplane comes true for Ionia man By Gloria Garman-Schlaefli Dick Schlaefli, Ionia, has achieved his dream of building and flying his own airplane. It took 15 years to complete, but for Dick being able to now fly his Pietenpol Air Camper was well worth the long wait. Dick developed his love of flying during high school when his three uncles, Ray and Dan Richardson and Jim VanSickle, each had his own airplane and Dick would take frequent rides with them. His interest in flying continued into college and while attending Fort Hays State University, he took lessons and earned his pilot's license. He built model airplanes and did control line flying with them, but hoped some day to be able to fly in his own airplane. It was in a magazine article that he first learned about the Pietenpol airplane. He learned that Bernard Pietenpol designed and built the first Air Camper, in 1929 in Cherry Grov...

Sixteen years ago

Sixteen years ago today there was a terrible ice storm across Kansas. Sixteen years ago today there was also a wedding in the United Methodist Church in Cawker City, Kansas. That's where Plowboy and Plowgirl officially became PlowFamily! I'm glad that life has led us down the path that it has. We have a good life and a great little family. Enjoy a "through the years" review in pictures. Engagement picture Wedding Day taken for the Successful Farming article in 1999 taken for Church directory in 2007 Christmas 2008

A day in the life......................

-
of me......during planting season. Most days go something like this: Up and at 'em after the "birthday's" on the morning show. (Ok, so 6:47 isn't really that early in the whole scheme of things!) Check email, facebook, newspapers. Off to a shower. Wake up Plowbaby and Plowboy, and get both moving. (not necessarily an easy feat!) Change the channel to "toonies" for Plowbaby, and try to get her to eat some breakfast and change her clothes and get ready for work/school. The goal is for her and I to be out the door BY 9. Again, I know....not real early.....but YOU haven't tried to get Miss Pokey around in the morning! Also in the mean time, get some laundry going, and dishes cleaned up from the night before. Drive up to the farm (or the last field from last night) to find the empty NH3 tanks from the night before. Hook up and head toward AgChoice. This is if I haven't already been sent on 3 other missions, before even hooking up the first t...
