Egg Recipe #4

So I made another dessert with eggs and that is because "the man of the place" was begging for something sweet.  I have been trying really hard to keep sweets out of the house after having a overload at Christmas. I gave in and made him Baked Custard, seeing how he ate all the buttermilk pie by Tuesday.
I have never made just custard before, I've made peach custard pie. It was very easy, a lot easier than I thought.
Take only 5 ingredients.


3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (2%)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
    Ground nutmeg or cinnamon

Combine the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Beat till well combined but not foamy.

Place four 6-ounce custard cup or 1/2 pint jars in an 8x8x2-inch baking dish. Pour egg mixture into cups.
Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon.if desired.

Pour boiling water into the baking dish around the custard cups to a depth of 1-inch

Bake in a 350 oven for 30 - 45 minutes. or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.



Serve warm or chilled. If desired, loosen edges of individual custards with a spatula or knife, slipping point of spatula down sides to let air in; invert onto dessert plate

Serves 4  (WW points plus 4)

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
