Uncle Wilbur's Fountain

Just letting you all know that our play date is still on for this morning...it may be too chilly to play in the fountain, but we can still play at the park. Hopefully the sun will come out soon! See you there!

1st Park Play Date - Pring Ranch Park

Well, it looks like thunderstorms in the morning are in the forecast. We say rain or shine we're at the park...not happy about it, but there ;-) It's going to be a cold one too! So Gregory and I will be there in case we want to make other plans, so come on out and we'll figure it out.

Call if you have any questions - 640-3623 - Roxanne's cell

Soap recipe from last MOPS meeting

Here's the soap "recipe" from the last MOPS meeting...

Just take one bar of soap (any kind that you like) and grate it up.

Then add 1/2 cup baking soda and

1/2 cup of Borax (found at Walmart)

Mix together really well.

Use 1/2 of the mix to your laundry (using hot water).

Craft from Jan 9th meeting - Chili Mix in a Jar

At the last MOPS meeting we made Chili Mix in a Jar. Here's a similar recipe.

Chili Mix in a Jar

3 Tbsp. mild chili powder
2 Tbsp. dehydrated onions
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Combine spices and put into a small bag.

Include in your gift basket:
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 14oz. cans diced tomatoes in juice

Label: Wash beans. Put into pot with spices. Cook until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, brown 1 lb. ground beef (if desired), and drain. Add meat to the beans with the tomatoes and sauce. Simmer to blend flavors.

Corn Bread Mix

1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Sift together all ingredients and store in a plastic bag, at room temperature.
Makes 1 package.

To use:
Pour package of mix into a bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 4 Tbsp. softened shortening. Beat until smooth (about 1 minute with egg beater).
