\"\"<\/p>\n

My friend Missy was showing off her daughter’s senior photos recently and I noticed a really cool silhouette.?? I love sunset and beach silhouettes and plan to take some when we go on vacation but I had not thought of trying casual silhouettes and making composites out of them.?? Creative idea for which I am grateful for!?? When I was taking Tori’s hat pictures, she kept trying to crawl away from me.?? The silhoutte above was taken from one of her crawling profiles.?? The rest I just digitally added for the fun of it.?? Her little tiny silhouette looks so precious I think.?? I keep opening this picture back up and staring at it – she just looks like a little baby doll.?? I love the way she sits on her knees like that.?? Can’t wait to do more silhouette composites now.?? Working on Braxtyn’s pictures today so I bet I’ll think of something.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

??<\/p>\n

Reminds me…Susie had not seen Tori for quite some time and when she saw her this past weekend she said that Tori looks much bigger in pictures than she does in person.?? Not something I can judge seeing her everyday but I thought that was an interesting observation.<\/p>\n

Here is a funny that probably only family will appreciate.????Wed I attempted to make Grammy’s biscuits and gravy.?? Apparently, it DOES matter the ratio of bacon grease to flour that you use \ud83d\ude42 – who knew??? Anyhow, it was a DISASTER.???? Following??are bits and pieces of conversation with her over the last two days best I can remember:<\/p>\n

G: Well how much bacon grease did you use?<\/p>\n

D:?? Well I cooked a whole package of bacon so I just used it all.<\/p>\n

G:?? WHAT??? OH NO!?? You can’t use that much.<\/p>\n

D:?? Yes I realize that now.?? :)?? Then I had to add a ton of flour to make it into a paste.<\/p>\n

G:?? A paste??? No it shouldn’t be like an actual paste. ??Just thin it out with more milk.<\/p>\n

D:?? I did.?? I have thinned it out so much there is now very little flavor left and it still is the conistency of a very heavy pudding!<\/p>\n

G:?? Well honey don’t worry.?? It took me a long time to get it right too.?? Mine didn’t always come out perfect either.?? Now how did the biscuits turn out because I forgot to tell you something.<\/p>\n

D:?? The biscuits were fine but I burned the sausage all to bits and had to cut the burned parts off.<\/p>\n

G:?? I am sure it was fine but I forgot to tell you?? that I heat the oil in a pan and then dip the biscuits on both sides in the oil before I bake them, that way they won’t dry out.<\/p>\n

D:?? Oh – you didn’t tell me that yesterday.<\/p>\n

G:?? Now Doni.?? You only use a LITTLE bit of oil.?? You don’t just dunk the biscuits in a lot of oil – I am talking about just lightly coating them.<\/p>\n

D:?? What Grammy??? Afraid I am going to deep fry your biscuits next?<\/p>\n

G:?? Well I just didn’t know – thought I should be sure to tell you.?? (I am laughing at this point – she was serious).<\/p>\n

G:?? Now I also want to tell you that I feel bad about this and I am sorry but I did tell your Aunt Beck but only because she has ruined the gravy before too just like you.<\/p>\n

D:?? (Now I really have bubbles of laughter trying to get out).?? Grammy why would you be concerned about telling anyone about my disasterous gravey attempt??? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

G:?? I just didn’t want you to feel embarrassed honey.<\/p>\n

ROFL!!!!!!?? So is that soooooooo Grammy or what??? Funny funny funny.?? I am a pretty decent cook but I think gravies are hard to master and as for the dumb sausage…the package directions were misleading hee hee.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And the whole flour, bacon grease, oil thing….Grammy is from Oklahoma…nuff said?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
