Coloring Time
My mom bought me an enormous zip-lock baggie full of colored pencils from a thrift store. I have never seen such a collection in my life. and now it is mine.
In a PICKLE
pickled red onions
I love everything to do with pickles. so does Simone. So I thought I would try pickling some red onions, and of course, they were fantastic. Go great on anything, especially tacos and sandwiches, maybe salads or soups as well.
1 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed tasted miles better than from the bottle)
3 tbs sugar
1 tbs salt
Bring these ingredients to a boil while you are thinly slicing your medium- sized red onion. Pop the sliced onion in a bowl and pour the boiling liquid over them. Cover this concoction with some plastic wrapped and pop those suckers into the fridge for a couple hours. They will become a lovely redish pink (begin to look like candy) and cool completely, and thats when you know they are ready to eat.

Domesticated Laday
What can I say? The cold makes me want to cook, and now, with my new sewing machine, there is no reason to leave the house. All I want to do is cook, sew, and homemake. I'm just your everyday natural domesticated lady.

Oatmeal Cookies That Will Explode your Taste Buds
With all this holiday nonsense going on, I thought it fitting to add a cookie recipe to my blog. These are a quick easy and they are great as presents for the ones you originally forgot about but-oops- they've given you a present and now you look like the jerk.
Preheat yo oven to 350
in a bowl, stir up these dry ingredients
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamin
3/4 tsp nutmeg
in a separate bowl, beat until CREAMY
2 sticks butter (softened NOT melted)
1 1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Now slowly add your DRY mixture to your CREAMY mixture. After they are all getting along in a single bowl, add
1 cup raisins
3 cup dry oatmeal
now bake-a-boo for 6-7 minutes (really not long at all but BELIEVE me you don't want to over coook these. keep 'em soft.) YUM!
