BRRRRR...



It's cold here! We were expected to have really bad weather this weekend... but it never really got that bad. Of course, I never got out to drive on the roads - but Gerald made it back and forth to work without trouble. He said there were only a few icy spots closer to Pine Bluff. I'm glad we were spared a huge ice storm... and I'm SO glad we never lost our electricity!! We are all-electric - so we'd have had to move in with other family if we'd have lost the electricity for too long!

Jackson brought a recipe home from school a few weeks ago. He's been wanting to make these Cowboy Crackers ever since. We finally did make them this afternoon. I don't understand how you can put OIL all over crackers and they don't get soggy or greasy. I just don't get it.... but that's what happens. Jackson loves these crackers. Here's the recipe in case you want to try them.


Cowboy Crackers

1 lb. box of saltine crackers

1/2 - 3/4 cups Canola oil

1 Tbs. cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)

1 pkg. dry ranch dressing mix

Put crackers in Ziploc bag. Mix oil, pepper, and dressing. Pour over crackers and shake until crackers are covered. Toss every 15 mins. for 1 hour.
