Pretty, Tasty Dessert

I found a recipe using strawberries because they are so good right now! Here are some photos of the process:

Every good recipe starts with butter, right?!


The fixin's


Time for a little art :-)


Proof that a real human made this food


You can never go wrong with brown sugar and cinnamon


Another use for a muffin tin








cooling


and the rest of the ingredients


Ta da! The finished product :-)

And we can't forget the cats:

All 3 - a very rare sight to see


Gretta



Duma

And we can't forget a quick look at a few 'house' projects:

Check out the new greenhouse in the right corner :-) Soon we are hoping to grow some strawberries!


entryway prior to installation of a concrete ramp


existing concrete remove at end of ramp and area coated with a bonding agent


the concrete slowly drying and the 'improvised' ramp to allow it to be finished smooth (I have not taken a photo of the beautiful, dry ramp that we have been using for over a week now...but I will, soon)


And what more can you ask for as an ending than a pretty sunset?!
