Just a reminder

Jack wanted to remind me this morning that before I eat my muffin, I must remember to take off the coffee filter. :)

Time-Out

While out in a restaurant today, Jack is misbehaving. After several warnings, I say...

Angie: Jack, do we need to go to the bathroom?

Jack: And do what?

Angie: Talk. (spoken with a stern look, or so I thought)

Jack: Oh, I'd love to go talk!

Angie: (Trying not to laugh) And get a spanking.

Jack: Well, I'd love to talk, but I don't really want the spanking.

God changes people

Jack: Mommy, did you know that God changes people?

Angie: Yes, He does.

Jack: Just like He changed Saul to Paul.

Angie: That's right!

Jack: And Anakin to Darth Vader.

Check

Everything on the list... done. Except for watching The Office, but I had actually decided to wait for Jon to watch it. I guess list-making does make you more productive and organized. I'm not sure I want to be labeled as overly organized and listy, so I'll just save the list-making efforts for significant endeavours.

Jon's Fav

This is one of Jon's favorite desserts. The recipe comes from my sister. She's one of my FAVORITE cooks. :)

Sarah's Key Lime Pie

1c graham cracker crumbs
4T butter, melted
(or use a ready-made crust)

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3c key lime juice or lime juice (found near the alcohol, not the kind in the plastic lime bottle)
4 egg yolks

Mix graham crumbs with melted butter and press into 9” pie pan. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 250 degrees. Mix milk and key lime juice. Add egg yolks one at a time. Pour into crust and bake for 20 minutes. Chill for several hours. Top with sweetened whip cream.
