Chef Adam's cooking adventures--Creme Brulee

 Prepping the cups--he only dropped one of them, so that's impressive right there ;)

 We bought the cooking store out of their entire supply of butane just so we could take pics w/it ;)

 Voila! Finished product.  Muy delicioso! Too bad you'll have to come to MN to try it...

While shopping for used furniture one day, we came across a cheap, never-opened Creme Brulee set that Adam HAD to have.  Well, PUT YOUR ORDER IN NOW!  j/k.  I was shocked he actually used it, and imagine my surprise when it turned out to be fabulous.  LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Here's some pics from his first attempt.  I still maintain that he just likes to play with the mini blow-torch, but hey, it tasted great so I can't complain. 

Follow up on Alex

For those of you that don't know, Alex was baptized last Friday night (before conference).  Pam is on the phone with him now and he was ordained a priest today.  Later that day he had dinner w/ the Bishop.  Congratulations to Alex.  Dad

Great Job Rissa

Thanks Rissa, looks great.  Since everyone signs in under the same name, I would suggest identifying yourself at the end of your message if appropriate.  Sometimes it may be really obvious who sent it, sometimes it may not.  Can you tell who sent this one????????????  So how do I get email notice of additions to blog?     Love Dad.

Test

This is a lame test to see if this actually works. Not sure who to add pics but sure will figure things out later.  Hope everyone is having a fun day! Talk soon. Love-C

We are CHANGING IT UP this year!! In light of going 'green', and to make things more interesting, we are adding a theme this year for gifts: Gifts cannot be new (even if on sale!). Hit up rummage sales, thrift stores, e-bay, amazon, make something from scratch, or recycle something you already have :D Make it as funny or serious as you like. Happy hunting!!

Howdy!

Way to go if you actually got signed-in and can read this.  This is a new, work-in-progress site to help us all stay connected, and to be able to get lots of information from 1 place :D  Refer to this often, and PLEASE post to it--videos, pics, recipes, ideas, much-needed-venting, life-happenings, etc.

Love to all! ~ Rissa
