11C and breezy this morning when we walked around Fishtrap Creek. Lots of Canada geese, Mallards and Wood ducks on the water. I thought there would be fewer people walking because of the time change but I guess they all had set their clocks ahead.
When Shannon ( Eldest) came on Friday she brought an old watering can that I had discarded and worked on it while we visited. She's always working on something and that girl has talent.
Needless to say I'll be keeping that watering can when she's done ( unless she wants it but that isn't likely).
Yesterday I did more baking. This time it was cinnamon buns. I pop them into the freezer once they're cooled off. I'll often take one out of the freezer right after breakfast and by coffee time it's nicely thawed. I make them with low sugar and with no icing so they are not decadent like a store-bought one. I don't use a recipe so I can't give one. One comment I had about the date squares was saying that a recipe would be nice. There are recipes for everything on line and the instructions are there. My haphazard ways of making food are hard to describe. ( My kids might say that the results sometimes look like it too LOL)
On the subject of baking I'll just give you a warning that Pi day is this Friday March 14. This gives us a
chance to decide what kind of pie we'll be making :)
A Strange Science Fact: Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day, and Stephen Hawking
died on Pi Day. Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant π, which is
approximately 3.14. The holiday is celebrated every year on March 14.
Notably, Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 and Stephen Hawking
died on March 14, 2018
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14) to commemorate the mathematical constant π (pi), which is approximately 3.14. The day is celebrated by eating pie, reciting pi, and participating in other activities.
Thanks for coming by.
We had to spring forward too, but thanks to going to be an hour early, it was no problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about Pi day. I am busy that day but maybe I cam manage one on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteOur pi day pie buyer is on vacation in the tropics:(
ReplyDeleteTill tonight I did nor hear anything about PI-day! What a miracle, fine to celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter rescues things, which you throw away, and then give them a new home again in your house - really nice !
We change our time one hour forward at the end of March.
Baking good cakes is always the right thing !"!"!"!
Hmmm, I may be away from home Friday. But could probably find pie somewhere to eat!
ReplyDeleteI bake rather like you, I think. Although I might follow a recipe sometimes, I often measure very little, change things up, substitute if I lack an ingredient, etc. So results are never exactly the same.
Pi day was always fun at school.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Einstein and Hawking's connection to Pi day. And thanks for the heads up so we can figure out what kind of pie we'll be having!

The watering can is going to be so pretty. I hope you share a photo, even if Shannon decides to keep it. Thanks for the reminder about Pi day...hmmm, what to make?
ReplyDeleteWe don't spring until the end of March!
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK we change our time one hour forward at the end of this month.
ReplyDeleteHave enjoyed a nice day here, but cooler weather is approaching!
Have a good week.
All the best Jan
Hello Friend! I was absent from blogging last week so wanted to make sure I caught up with you today. I've looked back through all of your blog posts and I have to tell you that all of your food photos are wonderful. Everything looks so delicious. I've never made Date Squares before, but you can rest assured that I will be looking for a recipe so I can make some. We both love dates.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers you bought are so bright and cheerful! Our flower center hasn't opened yet.
Hope you have a lovely week this week!
Hi GM! Pi Day was a big deal when I was teaching school. Some of the things the kids brought did not resemble pies! LOL! When I give recipes, I am the same way. I'm always asked for more details. I don't think I could whip up cinnamon roll dough without looking at a recipe, so way to go! I'm glad you are enjoying your walks. I love your posts. ox
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the snow is finally beginning to disappear out here. Bright sun and10° out!
ReplyDeleteA great way to make the can new again. :)
ReplyDeleteBack to walking in dark in the morning again for a while!!
I guess I'll make a pie on Friday. Maybe Lemon Meringue.
Our clocks go forward an hour on 30th March this year. I've never heard of Pi day, but any excuse to eat pie much be good!
