we had a pretty busy weekend in that i spent a lot of time on my feet, cooking for other people. on sundays, God says relax and i say "okay frankie!".
mark came over and he and scott played some dumb blox game on the wii for about 234 hours. don't ask me how boys can get caught up in this nonsense b/c to me it looks like one of the most boring things ever. i'll explain.
ahem.
you use the wiimote to target a block you want to blast out of a pyramid. you throw the aforementioned 'mote to blast that creep out of the sky. you celebrate with your friend.
wash.rinse.repeat.
while they were numbing their brains, i was trying out the pioneer woman's apple dumplings. for those of you who do not know the greatness that is this recipe, you have GOT to try it. right this second. quit your job and go buy some granny smiths.
although i will say i will use about half, maybe a little less, of her butter/sugar concoction to pour around the dumplings while they bake. i ended up with a lot of goo and a hurty stomach. but this received double thumbs up from both boys and i have to say, i enjoyed it. i think i will cut much larger apple slices (maybe cut it up into 6ths instead of 8ths?) because the sweetness drowns out the yummy apple taste.
before: with a recipe that included mountain dew, i had a hard time convincing the two nerds in the house that it wasn't straight from God.
after: baking, bubbling, and cooking away. hello lovers.
