Snow

Chocolate Mousse

Neem 18 marshmallows (nie die geure van druiwe en mango en daai twak nie, nee, die gewone wittes en pienkes), ‘n groot blik Ideal Milk, en ‘n slab tjoklit, by name Midnight Velvet.  [You need 18 marshmallows - not the funny flavors like grape or mango, just the pink and white ones - a large can of evaporated milk and a slab chocolate - such as Midnight Velvet or Cadbury Milk Chocolate]

Sit marshmallows, tjoklit en 100ml Ideal Milk in ‘n glasbak, en smelt stadig in die mikro.  Klits gereeld met ‘n draadklitser om die klonte uit te kry, en te sien dat alles smelt en vermeng.  [Melt marshmallows, chocolate and 100ml of the milk in a glass bowl in the microwave (slowly) - stir frequently so that the mixture becomes smooth.]

Verkoel die res van die Ideal Milk, en sodra die mikro-mengsel afgekoel is, klits jy die Ideal Milk styf, en meng in by die tjoklit-mallows.  Dit is ook nou net hier waar ek vir ekstra geur ‘n doppie KWV inwerk.  Verkoel en val weg.  [Refrigirate the rest of the evaporated milk,  beat it to a thick consistancy and add to the chocolate mixture as soon as that has cooled down too.]

Early Morning at the Saint Paul Farmer’s Market!   Wow, what color!    and when we got home, we had some of the freshest mealies (corn) I have ever tasted!  And the tomatoes were the same - 100% more tasty that the ones you buy in the supermarket.

Enjoy these colors - the photos do not do the real thing justice!

I was eating a lunch under a tree Tuesday and there was some cold turkey breast on my plate.  While I was securely covering my Coke can so that a bee could not get into that, the yellow jackets that were out, seemed more interested in the food on the plate.  One landed on my meat and when I took out the camera to take some close-ups, I noticed that he was not eating the meat or drinking the juices - he was cutting off a small chunk of the turkey and then flew off with it!

This is a yellow jacket - really not a bee, I think, but a version of swarming wasp.

Wow, what a nice trip! We put the kayak in the water at Welch and rowed for 7 hours to Redwing on the Mississippi River.

Here are the visuals:

And here is the map Troy made and I added to:

It must be heaven to be a dog in the Potgieter household …!

Photography from a kayak is a challenge - you look up, you get mostly flat water, you look down, you photograph your feet!

Mix together 4 pounds of seedless grapes - fresh ones - with

8oz Cream Cheese

8oz Coolwhip

8oz Sour Cream

1 tsp lemon juice

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Just enjoy!

More Snow…!

Just 24 hours after the previous pics, almost no more snow, and the boys do some sparring outside!

Just ten hours later:
