Strawberry Gravy (Or any fruit)

It is no secret that I love pancakes. Time of day is of no concern to me when I want pancakes either. If I go out to eat I prefer to go someplace that serves pancakes. Pancakes are versatile too. My favorite way to eat them is with peanut butter and hot syrup. Sometimes though I like to have fruit. When you are cooking pancakes for a group of people there are going to be varied taste buds too. Remedy this by making fruit gravy. You can use almost any type of fruit you have on hand. (Even canned fruit if it's all you have.) If you like blueberry pancakes but someone else doesn't this is a great way to get the flavor without having to add berries to the batter. I have made this gravy using strawberries, blueberries, peaches, raspberries and blackberries. For the pancake recipe go here: SOURDOUGH PANCAKES For strawberry gravy (or almost any fruit) 1 cup chopped fruit 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water Simmer until fruit is tender. 5 minutes or so. Thicken with 1 tables...

Sour Milk Spice Cake

Last week I made applesauce. There was still some left and I didn't want it to go to waste. Second problem was I had milk in the fridge that had gone sour. I found a solution. Spice cake. Spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Let's make this better and not add any egg and reduce the fat and still get a heavy moist cake. Yum! I mixed everything up and the scent from all the spices was heavenly. I asked my husband to smell it and he said "I don't like spice cake." Sigh. Oh well, guess this one's for me. Later he had to try a piece that was devoured. Guess it must be good. If you do not have sour milk you can sour your own with a 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice in 1 cup milk. Let it set to curdle while getting everything else ready. 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teasp...

Mikey Howard Eulogy

Mikey was never one to put himself first. Even with a terminal illness, his pain was always secondary to his primary mission; taking care of the people he loved. He kept his sense of humor right up to his very last moments. He was loyal to a fault even in adversity. He would repeat a portion of the Soldiers Creed, “I will be loyal to those with whom I serve.” In fact in the eight years I served in the Army, Mikey was one of maybe two people that joined out of a sense of patriotism and a genuine desire to serve others. Mikey served everyone whether they were military or not. One of the very first things I noticed when we met was his kindness toward all mankind. He didn't care who you were or where you came from, if he felt someone was lonely and left out he would remedy that in a heart beat. There is no way to capture his total being in such a short time. Since Mikey was all about love and looking out for others I want to use some of his “profundities” as he called them as wel...
