Pigs In A Blanket

Today I taught Nathan the secret art of making pigs in a blanket. We had a package of hot dogs and mom was gone. There was really nothing stopping us. So we busted out the recipe for biscuits and went to work getting messy. 

As it turns out, little fingers are especially gifted at rolling the dog in strips of biscuit dough. I rolled two giving him some pointers on technique, but he caught on quickly and took it from there. Before long they were ready to place in the oven, I think waiting was the hardest part. 

We learned how to use this time to clean up. That way, you can enjoy guilt free. It is part of the secret.

Watching the magic happen!

Now, it was time to learn the final and most important part of the secret. Share them! Serve with pink lemonade and mustard on a paper plate. Never, eve,r ever, use ketchup. The paper plate made for a perfect, hassle free clean up. It's a man thing.

Again, only mustard!

It is the best!

Selfish Hindrance

Earlier this year I was listening to the radio and they were talking about new years resolutions. One of the callers began by talking about her new year's resolution and making dietary changes. When she said, "It is so hard! We all know they add things to fast food that make it addictive." Wait, what?! Is she for real? Then the shows host agreed with her. This got me to thinking,  do people really believe this?

It is human nature to justify ourselves and our actions and thanks to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I am exposed daily to this misinformation. Most is presented in a way making it desirous to be true. This is why it's good to know knowledge comes with responsibility. Information itself does not bring wisdom; rather the ability to rightly judge information as truth can bring knowledge and observance of truth is wisdom.

Baptism

This morning Nathan announced to me as we drove up to the Foley's home, "Dad, I want you to baptise me someday." This little guy fills my heart.

Chuck E. Cheese

Yesterday we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese and Chuck was there making moves on Rachael. Later I caught Rachael trying to plant one on the mouse. Same thing happened at Disneyland last year.

Must be the ears.

Ford GT, A Tight Fit

This is an awesome car. Ford did an outstanding job combining power and style. It's a tight fit for a guy my size and no joke full on dangerous if rushing to get your door closed. You could decapitate or at the very least scalp yourself.

Trail Cams

Recently I have been trading trail camera photos with some guys here in the local area. Thought I would share a few as it has been so long since I have blogged.

This first one comes from David Martinez. From where? I am not sharing but I will say it is within 40 miles of Gallup. This is one of the nicest bucks I have seen in this area.

He is losing his velvet and this photo was taken within the past month.

This next one comes from Jeff. From where? Again not sharing, but will say within 60 miles of Gallup on private land. Very nice and this was within the past week. This guy is not camera shy.

He's a 6X6

Good coat, looks well fed

Pretty symmetrical, small flaw on left

Good spread

Best Birthday Ever!

They Are Watching Me Watch Them

I was sitting in the St. Louis airport and started watching HLN while I wait. I noticed a little device atop the TV and on close inspect I discover it is a camera. They are watching me watch them. Clever way to get me to look at a camera.

Good Times

Potatoes! Hum, What To Do?

So I'm sitting on over a 100 pounds of potatoes. Which leads me to the question, what to do with them all? It's like being Bubba from Forrest Gump, except potatoes are my shrimp. This week french fries, better yet chili cheese fries.
