Why Do People Eat Dirt?
People in many parts of the world indulge in the curious practice of eating dirt, also known as geophagy. But why they do so has remained something of a mystery. Now a new study aims to show whether loam in the earth can be vital in protecting pregnant women from harm.
Mmmmm... Dutch Babies
Vacation breakfast of champions!4 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs
1 c. milk
Melt the butter in a 2 quart oven proof bowl at 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the milk, flour, baking powder, and eggs. Beat with rotary beater until smooth. Pour batter into hot butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 18 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door while baking. Sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice on the slice of Dutch baby and tip with scattered powdered sugar.
We use 4 medium sized ramekin bowls and more than a few drops of lemon juice and powdered sugar!
Post Chrstmas Pool Update
DAY -Dedicated or crazy! It is 25 degrees out there right now with a 12 mph east wind. That puts it at a balmy 14 degrees with the wind chill!
"I think the diving board goes here."
Yesterday, plastic was laid down to keep the ground from freezing. Last night's wind had another plan! Using a laser leveling device, the outer rim of the pool is being determined. The next step is to fill the bottom of the hole with gravel and then lay re bar.

Getting Ready
A storm in the North Pacific was nearing the northwest coast this morning. Snow will spread into the warned area from the west late tonight and continue through Friday morning. Snow will accumulate 2 to 4 inches in the valleys and up to 6 inches in the mountains. Winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph tonight and produce areas of blowing snow and poor visibility. Roads will become snow-covered and dangerous as temperatures will stay below freezing throughout the event. Snow will taper to snow showers by noon Friday.
A Snow and Blowing Snow Advisory means that visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and blowing snow. Use caution when traveling... especially in open areas.
