hit the 50's today....that is warm for the end of

November in Michigan...the weekend is supposed

to be even nicer....Ross and i were commenting this

morning about how we could not remember the last

time it rained...hope we get some kind of precipitation soon.

went to work with Ross today...we have been in the Embroidery

Service Business since the late 80's and in business for ourselves

since 1994...so it was Great today to see a couple of customers

that have been with us since the beginning.

we stopped at this cool bridge over a stream in

Northville Michigan....

on the way home we were talking about recipes that

haven't been made yet and how we only have 1 month left in the year,

so Pecan Pie was the choice for tonight....

Pecan Pie : pie crust recipe on January 26, 2012

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup karo syrup ( I use the DARK)

1/2 cup honey

3 beaten eggs

beat all of these ingredients together in a bowl.....add in...

1/2 cup melter butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp lemon juice

2 cups pecans (chopped)

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cinnamon

whisk it all together.....pour into a 9 inch crust....

 Place some whole pecans on top....just to make it look nice....

Bake at 325 for 90 minutes....

cool before serving......WOW... it was delicious!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with today being the last day of November, it was time to add

up the Chicken income and expenses for the month....

so...$82 came in and $80 went out in feed....a small

profit this month, but a profit of any size is good.

I kept track of the eggs that we used here at the farm or

gave away this month....it was 10 dozen for November...

it it normally about 5-6 dozen...but because of the holiday

cooking and eggs for breakfast when our friends were in,

we used quite a bit more.

Pleasant Dreams!!!
