Homemade Egg Nog

I love egg nog, but I think the store bought kind is a bit potent so I mix it half and half with milk. But, this recipe is so easy and usually you have all the ingredients without going to the store, even better.

Serving size 1



1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp sugar
dash cinnamon
dash nutmeg



First, Mix the egg yolk, and the sugar together.
Next, mix in the milk and vanilla extract, and egg white in with it.
Then, put a dash of cinnamon, or a little more if you like cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.
Finally, Blend or mix well together, blend is a little better, but what ever is best for you.
After that everything should be done.:)

Inheritance Cycle

I am just barely getting into these books, as the third book was just released a while back. It feels good to find some books that are as fun to read as Harry Potter. Just finished Eragon, in the fifth chapter of Eldest.

Shelle Lindholm

I know, shocker, it's Sunday, but I felt guilty for not posting yesterday.

I am not normally a huge fan of wildlife for art, but Shelle Lindholm's work caught my eye. I love the vibrant colors. At first I thought they were oil pastels, but her medium is layering acrylics. I don't love much that's shown on her website, but there was a great bear piece at the Kalispell airport, it would have been so cute in "W"s new room I'm designing.

Biscoff Cinnamon Graham Crackers

I usually fly Southwest, but we flew to Montana on Delta. They served these crackers and they are the best graham crackers I have ever eaten.

Scarecrow Masquerade @ Wheeler Farm

If I wasn't leaving for here today........I would definitely be at Wheeler Farm. There are lots of fun fall festivals going on all over the valley.

I will be gone until next Friday. I have no idea if I will have internet access, you may not get another bolt until next Saturday. Ta Ta for now.

A photo of Kalispell, MT, but when I get there, I am certain it will be covered in snow.

Miss Purl

I bought the cutest glass owl cell phone charm from Miss Purl at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. The Duchess and the Yarn Queen stocked up on stitch markers (that come in sweet little tins) and magnets (that say things like "Knitters are Sexy"). She has an etsy shop, but a lot more to offer than what she has listed, great prices.

Cultural Hall

Most of you have probably seen these pieces at Deseret Book or other LDS store. I haven't bought one because I wanted to make sure that I really liked them and it wasn't just a phase. I still really like them. Cultural Hall has now branched out of Deseret Book and has a schedule of trunk shows at various Costcos between now and Christmas. Another reason I hadn't bought one yet is cost, but they are less than half of what they were at DB and half of what they are on their website. I usually prefer the panorama, but I like that you can personalize this one with whatever words you like. I have the schedule of which Costcos they will be at on which dates, e-mail me if you are interested.
