Spring Fever!

It's 
Spring Fever!!
  

This is what the name of it is.
And when you've got it,
you want-oh you don't quite know
what it is you do want,
but it just fairly
makes your heart ache,
you want it so!
-Mark Twain

Beer Braised Beef with onions...... YUM

Mom e-mailed me this wonderful Beer Braised Beef recipe last week. As soon as Lee saw the recipe he was very anxious to try it, so we decided to do so Saturday night. And it was pretty amazing!! Not to mention it made the house smell wonderful while it was cooking!!
It was too pretty and yummy looking not to take a picture of :)

Onions, Garlic, Beer ,Thyme & fresh Rosemary straight from the greenhouse :)
Already looking wonderful and it hasn't even cooked yet.
Cooks enjoying some fresh warm air while we "patiently" wait the 3 hours for it to cook.
DELICIOUS!!!!  
Thanks for the recipe mom, we really enjoyed it!!

Happy National Pound Cake Day!!

Yesterday was National Pound Cake Day! Only one of the BEST days!! So what did we do? Bake a pound cake of course! Not that we needed an excuse to bake a pound cake around here! So we ended our day by eating a piece of hot pound cake fresh out of the oven. The only thing that could have made it better was if it was Maw-Maw's pound cake, but it was her recipe so it was close.
The baking begins
And no pound cake is complete without a "sad" streak! Even though the sad streak makes me very HAPPY!!
