Blue pancakes

Ever since I found all natural food coloring at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago things have been "colorful" at my house. Case in point a friend stopped over the other day and I had made bread dough to make fried dough - well par for the course I threw some red in there for cuteness sake - well not even thinking about it I brought out the fried dough and got a "what is that?" fried dough I reply she asks "what kind of dough" homemade I say "What kind" I was like peasant bread (a bread machine recipe I make a lot) and she was like "Okay explain the color" Jim and I are so used to me coloring stuff we didn't even notice and we laughed!

Well fast forward to this morning and I asked him if he wanted some blue pancakes (idea courtesy of CCK) and he was all excited and said yes - imagine his disappointment when he came downstairs and realized I said BLUE and not blueBERRY pancakes - so no rolling for him but he still liked them

Daily Photo post #175

"caught" as a child my mother would often catch me - - - in our house that was never a bad term... It simply meant you were caught being good. Well today I caught my nephew - see that brown dot at the end of my driveway? Its Adam shoveling my house out. I love that man <3

Daily Photo post #173/CONTEST!!!

So THIS has to be the BEST Valentine EVER given... (Sorry Jim but I will say my crate is awesome) it is an entire truck love note... Those post its say things on them "I love you" ":-)" "there is something great in here for you" and on and on... I had so much fu imagining what my lucky neighbor was getting for today... everything from the risque to the cutesy (and seeing as I am me I was hoping for cutesy)

So in the spirit of a surprise gift I have one for one of my lucky readers...

It is NO secret that Valentine's day is my favorite holiday so - I want to spoil one of you! To enter all you have to do is leave me a comment with a suggestion for a topic for me to blog about - I used to actually blog and not just take photos, I want to get back in the habit of writing but I have no ideas so leave me an idea and you get an entry - easy enough?

IF you win I will fill a "Valentine" with presents for you - specific to you (so leave a link to your blog so I can read it to get ideas)

I will take entries until Friday the 19th (the day of Dobby's next vet appointment - could you also send a prayer my little man's way?)

Good luck and give me some ideas
