| I made a cherry pie and had some left over pie crust. What to do with it? Hmmm. I had recently seen a recipe for homemade Pop Tarts so I rolled them out... |
 |
| filled them with mulberry jelly... |
 |
| baked them, drizzled them with some thin frosting, and they were so Yummy! Ed loved them! |
 |
| So what is this? Well, Ed wanted to make a bacon press, to keep the bacon flat as it cooks instead of it curling up all over the pan. He didn't like the ones you can buy as they were too small to do the job in his opinion. So... |
 |
| he made one! He took a cast iron frying pan and cut the bottom out of it, and smoothed it up, put a handle in it, and there you have it! A bacon press that is heavy enough, big enough and works perfectly! Now, isn't he just so ingenious? He sure is! |

| Lois, this is for you. Remember the bleeding heart plants you gave me? They are blooming this spring! |
 |
| And do you remember the little lilac that you gave me? I'm sorry to say, it sat in that bucket for most of the year. I finally planted it, and it has lots of blooms on it. Thank you! |

Glad they grew for ya, mine was loaded and the sweeeeet scent, was out of this world, especially in the cool and stillness of the evenings. What an idea for a bacon press. We kid, Ed and I, but, he's o.k. anyway. The pop tarts look soooooooooo good. I be putting an order in for our next gettogether. If you don't work Thursday, pop down to Sarah's around ten or so.
Oh Sharon, you are something else you know that!! Homemade pop tarts, who would have thought about it. I would love to try one since I have never eaten the store bought kind since they look very unappealing to me, I would eat one of yours for sure!
Love Ed's bacon press and he is right about the ones you can buy in the stores.
Is there something special you have to do for Lilac bushes for them to smell? Mom's up front has NO smell.
Only flavor of pop tart I ever ate was the cinammon w/brown sugar frosting. Yours look wonderful and homemade jam goodness!
