If you are on an iOS machine you won't see the imbedded videos which is why I include the URL so to see those you'll need to follow the linky thingy to youtube. Sorry for the inconvenience.

In theory the chemical reaction between cocoa and vinegar tinged it red, but I've read versions where people used red beet juice to color the baked goods. <br /><br />One of these years, when you aren't too busy, I'd love to hear some homeschooling stories. I'm just starting out with my four year old, and I LOVE see how other people structure their days and lesson plans. I'm hoping I'll have by systems down pat by the time he starts kindergarten.

Either the squirrels got 'em while they were green (dropping the extra to stain my driveway) they were black and dried out, or the green husk never opened. We've had some wild weather this year in DFW, I gave up on a garden altogether...hope it's not pointing to a bad winter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232829279921633398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623866790907629669.post-29181413948530708442014-12-11T20:54:59.360-08:002014-12-11T20:54:59.360-08:00I wanted to thank you for the last post and sharin...I wanted to thank you for the last post and sharing your family memories. Most of my grandparents passed before I could ever get interested in asking their life stories. My parents were both the youngest 'surprise' babies, so they don't recall everything. I overly appreciate the stories of others. I have some pictures, by grandfather performing baptisms in the river in the 30s, skinning a hog in black gum swamp before it was dammed and flooded...and only acquired them after his death so I'll never know. So, thank you. I was too young and stupid to ask or pay attention when they were around, so I always love hearing stories from other people's family. *hug*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232829279921633398noreply@blogger.com
