Thweet & Thour Thauce

Vick loved the sweet & sour sauce at VIP, asked them for the recipe and they gave it to her!

"When I got the recipe from VIP, the only ingredient they didn't give me a measurement on was the cornstarch. I kind of guessed how much to do, but last time I made it, I think I had to add a little more than 1/4 cup".

1 cup vinegar (I think they use rice vinegar, but I used regular)

3 cups sugar

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup cornstarch whisked into

3/4 cup warm water

Whisk together in saucepan. Heat on stove until thick & bubbly.

German Pancakes

by Melissa

We've kind of tweeked these, so I don't know how traditional they are. But, they are yummy! All of our kids favorite.

German Pancakes

1 C. milk
7 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
Beat with a wisk then beat in
1 C. flour

Preheat oven 425 for metal 400 for glass pan. Melt 1 stick of butter in a large pan (we use the big metal one Mom gave us) 9x13 or larger is good. Add your pancake batter on top, it will be very runny. Wayne likes to sprinkle with cinnamon before baking. Make sure you have plenty of room between oven racks for it to grow , (4 or 5 inches) bake until brown approx. 15 min.

Happy Birthday Jared!

Jared had a Batman birthday party with a few of his friends.  He chose hotdogs, Cheetos, and fruit snacks to serve.  They had fun playing with his Batcave and some of the toys he got for his birthday.

This is Jared's Batman cake just the way he wanted it- with blood on the inside (red velvet cake).

For his birthday dinner he wanted chicken nuggets and french fries.  

Jared is a good boy.  We love him very much and had a great time giving him his way on his birthday!  It was a fun day!  Happy Birthday Bare-bear!
