The last few weeks...

This is probably the only preggo pic you'll get. I don't know if I've told you yet but I am expecting another little boy in August! I told the facebook world but forgot that some people in my blog world are not "fbers". Everything is going well. I am over the morning sickness phase and on to the "growing at an incredible rate" phase.We think we'll stick with the name Noah, that Andersen picked out years ago, but are open if you have any suggestions.
Little Hen waiting for daddy to get home.
What a sweet boy.He was happy until we brought out the buzzer...
After. Cute smile bud, but a little fake. He wasn't happy about getting a haircut but he was a trooper.
Last week I think I used about 4 pints of heavy cream! This could be part of the reason I gained 5 lbs last week. We had fettuccine alfredo and strawberry shortcake (which should be called strawberry tallcake the way I load it on). Oh and then strawberry short/tallcake again. The strawberries from Costco were SO yummy for Easter.

RECIPE

2 pints strawberries sliced and sugared left out at room temp. for about an hour

1/3 cup shortening
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk

Heat oven to 450. Cut shortening into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl using a pastry blender or 2 butter knives (I usually end up using my hands) until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk just until blended.

Then I use a spoon and just drop 6 blobs of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and back for 10-12 minutes. You can cool them or eat them warm. I cut them hamburger style and load on layers of whipped cream and strawberries. MMMmmm. Oh peaches are actually my favorite for this recipe. I can't wait until they are in season.
ENJOY!
