August Break 2013: Midday

Today's word: Midday

Here I am, boiling up some Annie's Mac & Cheese.  

Before getting to midday, I've been busy:  a 9am orthodontist appointment, a quick trip to Target and the grocery store, picked up the boy from a sleepover and dropped him off to school; dropped off the 8th grader at her school for a half-hour; picked up the 8th grader and come home to boil up these pasta shells.

After boiling up the shells, I walked the dog over to the elementary school to pick up my son and his friend and fed them the rest of the macaroni.

The rest of today will likely involve laundry.  Sometimes it's nice just to stand around and watch the pasta boil.

August Break 2013: Something Old

This month I will be periodically linking up with Susannah Conway's August Break.

She has published a list of photo prompts for each day of the month. 

Today's prompt is Something Old.

This little book was a gift to me from some church members.  They were purging their belongings and wanted me to have this.

No publication date is given; the title page only acknowledges that this is the third edition.

This note was tucked into the book.  I believe the member's mother wrote this note.

Of course the recipes and most of the language is so great.  Crumpy pudding, anyone?

"Wineglassful" is a real measurement!

 In this Sponge Cake, the ingredients must "mingle well together."
