Hungry?

I love quick simple dinners. Especially in the summer. This is one of my favorites, it is a lot like pizza in that you can just throw whatever veggies/meat hanging around in your fridge into it. Try making small individual sizes letting everyone throw thier favorites into it. I hear this is great:)

First off you are going to want to start off with 3 eggs and one cup of milk or cream. Wisk it together really well. This is going to fit in one average 9inch pie crust. Then you will add your fillings. You can get pretty creative here adding up to 3 cups of fillings. I like peppers, ham, cheese, onions and tomatoes. We didn't have any tomatoes this day so it is lacking. If you add tomatoes though, it is very nice to slice them thinly and lay them on the top before it goes into the oven. I like to put the whole thing onto a foil lined baking sheet because inevitabely, there will be some spillage and it just makes things a lot easier to clean up, and I am all about easy cleanups! You will put it into a 375 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes. Insert a knife and it should come out clean, if it doesnt leave it for another few mintues, but check it often.
When it comes out it will have a nice golden brown top on it like this. See the spillage over in the corner? I was so glad that I lined my baking sheet with foil for this! It could have made for some tears at clean up time. Instead I just tossed the whole foil mess into the garbage and shrugged the whole nasty incident off.
This is best served with a light green salad.
Dig in and enjoy.

Swap?

Very vintage lace gloves with very light pink embellishments on them. They are almost like air they are so light. There is a few little hanks of old and not so old lace too. This is the prettiest pink teacup I have ever seen. It is one from my personal stash but I do believe looks like it will be right at home in its new house. Spilling out of the teacup
are some vintage crystals and a piece off of a vintage broach. There are a few little rosebuds snuck in there too. This is a very old pink christmas ball. I imagine it would be lovely on a pink christmas tree! You can also see a very long string of old beads. It is hard to tell in the picture but the leaves are a very pretty irridescent pink and the whole thing just looks so sweet. But I bet that if it was cut apart the beads would be great used as little accents on other projects. Maybe a pair of earrings made out of the pink petals. There is also a porcelin pink rose pin that was picked up in an antique store. It is simply charming! A few other extras tucked in there too.
There is some gorgeous pink floral wall paper border there and these sheets of music are very dainty. I have never seen music like that before. the book they came out of was dated 1840.
A few other treasures. This is a very old petit point that is finished off with gold lace, there is some pom pom trim in there, a few velvet flowers, and some pretty pink tags.

Powder

What a sweet dog. She had a very laid back, calm temperment and she seemed to want nothing more than to just have company. She also did love her pats. I tried to get her smiling but she wasnt cooperating! Here is a glimmer of a smile starting. See how the corners of her mouth are turning up and there is a little fold of skin? Well, when she all out smiles, that becomes very pronounced and goes out from her snout so she looks like a cartoon smile. Adorable! I think shes a pitbull/boxer/lab cross from what her mom figures she is too. Maybe something else in there too but whatever it is, shes sure sweet.
