recipe

I made the yummiest caramel chocolate apples tonight! I MADE caramel like MADE it not unwrapping a bunch of caramels I MADE it... did I say I made caramel??? Any way Sami and Jessyca my co-workers daughters came over. I also invited my friends Lexie and Emyrie Adams and Becky and Melissa DeFriez and Megan Harold. Lexie melted chocolate in the microwave and we had tons of toppings and had fun putting them on the apples. Here is the recipe I found online I made that
1 cup butter (no substitutes)
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
8-10 wooden sticks
8-10 medium tart apples
Directions1Insert 1 wooden stick into each apple. 2In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and milk; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 3Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm ball stage) about 30-40 minutes. 4Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. 5Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat. 6Holding by the stick, sprinkle with nuts or whatever you desire while the caramel is still warm. 7Set on buttered wax paper to cool.

Fried ice cream!

I made fried ice cream with the DeFriez's a couple of weeks ago and wanted to post the directions on here...

I took ice cream and put it in muffin cups in the freezer while it was in there we crushed up some frosted flakes, we took the ice cream out and quickly rolled the ice cream in the cereal.

We took some flour tortilla's and fried them in a pot of oil we pushed the tortilla down in the middle so that is made a bowl and fried like a bowl. we took them out of the oil and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the tortilla's .

We put the ice cream covered in cereal in the oil for a very short amount of time then put that in our tortilla bowl's.

We then put whip cream on our creation and enjoyed them

Between Becky, Matt and Melissa they ate one of those whole cans of whip cream!

A fun fall day!

So it is fall here in the Cache Valley. My friend Katie and I drove up Logan Canyon to go on a hike. We drove to where we thought the hike was and just could not find it. We went back looked on a map... still could not find it. We walked around the River Trail asked a few people.... still could not find the trailhead. So we drove up to the Guinavah-Malibu Campground and were looking around and we found the trailhead! by this time we did not have time to go on the hike So we walked around and took some pictures. It was so beautiful up there. I wish had someone to go camping with!!!!! We walked around and took some pictures by Logan River ( I guess it is Logan River anyway..) We drove around and found a REALLY COOL amphitheater. It looked so cool with the red seats and all the pretty leaves. There is a cool stone stage that I danced around and pretended I was Chris Brown. I had been listning to Rick Dees and the weekly top 40 on the way there and Chris was number one that day and was stuck in my head....."it's just me you and the dance floor" As we were driving out I saw a little campground where someone had carved some chairs one was just a little chair carved out of a stump and another someone had carved out of a big log and it was like a little rocking chair. Nobody was camping at this campground and I can't imagine why someone would NOT pick that campground with the two little chairs!
After we left Logan Canyon we went to the farmers market in Logan. I love farmers markets and would love to one day display my wares at one day.... whatever my wares may be :) Katie bought some raw honey and I bought some really yummy local cheese from Richmond,Utah. We also went and got some bread at Great Harvest....YUM
By this time it was time for me to get home so Katie dropped me off in Lewiston. I went to my once a month craft class that I am going to in Whitney,Id. I am making a ladder with attatchments for everymonth. I am such a wonderful saleswoman that I have got SIX people to come along with me.... which I think is awesome since it costs like 25-50 to go every month. This month our attatchments say BOO! on the first rung and a cute witch hangs on the second ( my witch has two hairline cracks I hope she will be OK!) on the bottom rung it says " A real witch lives here" I am a real good witch:) I also made a big wooden cat that is black with a jack o lantern face. The cat is wearing a witch hat wit this cool fabric I found at a fabric store in Logan called Threads and Things, it is orange with bats on it. This month at craft class we were there FOREVER like with all the people there and it took me SO LONG to paint my cat but it looks so cute sitting on my front porch at my new house!
After craft class I went home. Kathy had a birthday party going on. She had a lot of family there, I spent sometime with them. I wanted to go the RS broadcast but did not get home in time to go. Then during the re-broadcast people were talking to me... So I guess that is what the Ensign is for!
anyway so that was my fabulous fall day!

ANGEL

Almost two weeks ago I finished ALL of the series Angel. Not many people can say that they have watched EVERY single episode of a series. I am so happy that Angel is the series that I did this with. I would love to make a list of my favorite Angel episodes, I just can't narrow it down, same goes for the quotes. What I love most about the television show is the charactor development and ultimate redemption of several of the people portrayed on the show. I love how Angel deals with Faith, even when everyone else has givin up on her Angel believes in Faith and puts her on the road to repentance and change. In the last season, I loved when Connor came back and said "ya gotta do what ya gotta do to protect your family" It is so true! Family is so important and you need to go what you have to do to protect them. In the finale when Connor and Angel were fighting Marcus, Angel told Connor to go and Connor said "Will you be OK" and Angel said " As long as you are safe I will be OK" That is true as long as his son is safe he will be OK.

I was also touched when Cordelia came back and helped get Angel back on track and then said "and by the way you're welcome" awesome episode.. .... One guilty note even though for the most part he is evil I think Lindsay is HOT!!!

So I enjoyed all my time watching Angel I am rewatching some of the episodes now and of course I am open to anyone that wants to start watching it:)
