We got started early today. Pumpkin donuts were in the oven just after watering and taking care of the animals. This is a super easy recipe. Here's how it's done.
Preheat oven 400*.
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 15 ounce can pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Mix all together .
I put it all in a gallon plastic bag, cut off the tip and pipe into a donut pan (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray)
Bake 12 minutes.
Have a brown lunch bag ready with powder sugar.
Toss the donuts in the bag as soon as they come out of the oven.
Dude loved these with a nice cup of coffee.
Picked from the garden, hoping to making something today but didn't get to it.
Corn bread ready for tomorrow's chili dinner.
This is how I make corn bread.
Heat oven 400* (leftover from the donuts)
1 of the small boxes of cornbread … you know, the ones that are 50-88 cents a box?
1egg
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 can drained corn
Mix all together with spoon. Pour into a greased bread pan. Bake 15 minutes. OHso good.
The chicks are growing and enjoy a day in the sunshine.
We found a great deal for firewood. We usually head up to the mountains and cut our own. But today we headed 2 hours north west to Laporte to get a cord of wood.
We had to load our own but not that big of deal. I loaded and Dude stacked. He is great at stacking... I stink at neatness. It was a wild workout and we will repeat tomorrow to be ready for the winter. Tomorrow we are suppose to break a record for heat (we usually have cold rain and snow in the mountains this time of year).
On the way home we passed the lamb stockyards.
These are sheered and probably on to the final stop of their life journey. Colorado lamb is one of the best in the country!
These haven't been sheered yet.
With such a long ride, I did get two cotton dish clothes made. (one looks a wee bit cockeyed, ugh)
Time to relax after such a physical day.
peace
