Make sure you take a picture of yourself with your Pannu...it's tradition! (:


4 eggs 
1/2 cup of sugar
2/3 cup flour
2 cups milk 
(I use evaporated milk and add regular milk till it equals 2 cups)
 Beat with mixer until frothy.

While heating up oven to 425 degrees, melt 1/2 stick of butter in a 9x13 pan in the oven.
Pour the batter into the pan.

Bake for 20 min.

When it is done, there should be a BIG bubble and the top should be golden brown. (:

Deuteronomy 16-20

 There are so many rules that the Isrealites had to follow.  I'm glad that Jesus came so that we aren't bound by the law anymore.  We have freedom in Christ!

FASHION and FUN

 

Super cute clay charms and beads.  Easy to make!  I made them using this book.

 Please send me a picture of your creation.

 FOOD

I made spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad for dinner one night.

To make homemade cheesy garlic bread, butter the bread (I used rosemary bread) and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Then layer cheese on top (I used fresh mozzarella and shredded sharp cheddar cheeses.)  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.  Broil in the oven on the top rack for a couple minutes.  Check it so it doesn't burn. 

 And the finished product...

Yummy!

I am reading The Gold Miners' Rescue.
It is about Sheldon Jackson.
He started schools for Eskimos and saved many Eskimos from starvation by providing them with reindeer to own and use for food.
