1: Oil does not boil.
-I found this out because I thought it would be fun to make scones for breakfast! I hadn't had them forever and was craving them and just so happened to have some dough. I knew that I was supposed to flatten out the dough then place it into what I though would be "boiling oil". Well low and behold. Oil does not boil. So I sat there for a good 25 minutes waiting for the oil to boil. Then of course ran out of patience and decided to just stick in the first victim of dough... Ya... That sucker was black and I've never been splashed with such hot freaking oil in my life. Of course Oakly heard me in the kitchen say a few choice words then start to laugh. He asked what I was doing and told him I just found out that oil did not boil. He then went on his way as I made the rest of the scones. Putting each in the pot of near boiling oil. Needless to say they all turned golden brown on the outside within seconds. So i just took them out thinking "psssh directions don't know what their talking about, it doesn't take 15-30 seconds each scone it take 1 second each side." Well about 5 scones later I called Oak into start eating them. We took our first bites together into the DOUGHIEST, UNDERCOOKED scones we've ever had. I finished one and then soon felt it start to rise in my stomach. Not fun. Oakly then informed me that he had made them before (duh he's like a million years older then me, what hasn't he made?) and that he could help me make them. Within 10 minutes we then were able to eat delicious fully cooked golden scones.
Moral of the story:
1- As stated previously, oil does not boil.
2- Eating dough is not a good idea, for it rises in your stomach and makes you nauseas for hours.
3- When in doubt ask the man that lived with saber tooths and sports a duck tail. For he knows all.
^^ The enemy when consumed and not cooked ^^
He really does have a duck tail... Told ya.
Any who.
As the rest of the day has gone by I learned another thing. I should not make my own frosting for I find it way to delicious. Our primary class won a game last Sunday that we had made up for them. They won a chocolate cake with green frosting and sprinkles along with candy and apple juice. (yes we love our class, we don't want kids just yet but its a blast to play with others!)
The kiddos of course were the ones who chose what they won. As I was making the frosting minutes ago I found myself consuming more than half. I have a wonderful made up recipe of my own and not to blow smoke up my own skirt. But hell ya, its good.
Also, I love Bon Iver. Random thought for the day. However his music just calms my busy body soul. I love listening to him when I'm having my "alone time" when Oakly is off doing his thing which right now is Welding some sort of material, thing, working, machine back together for a friend. Yeah, I just know he is helping some one out with flamer welder thing. :) Ha.
Finally got our massages last night, much needed. For any of you trying to locate an amazing massage therapist for an incredible price. No need to look any further. Our dear friend Ruthanne, what a talented chick. She not only is an amazing massage therapist but she only charges $45 for a FULL hour and she comes to YOUR home to have it done. Or of course she can arrange for another place to do it if your home is not the calmest of places. But I LOVE HER. She works wonders.
Shout out to the amazing Ruthanne!! Let me know if you want to get in touch with her, for she is impeccable!
Well off to get ready for game night! Party time, excellent!!
