St. Paddy's Day

Curbchek and Street Creds

I recently read a book by a friend of mine. It is called Curbchek.

I highly recommend this book. It highlights Zach's career. From rookie to, his days as a street wise FTO. (field training officer)

It is hard not to imagine yourself on the streets with Zach.

Zach's second book is out, and is every bit as good as the first one.

Door Hangers

Perogies

Perogies

peel, cube and boil 3 large potatoes, drain and mash. Add salt pepper and ¼ to ½ lb. of cheddar cheese

Dough:

2 cups flour 1 cup water

1 egg

Add enough extra water to make a medium dough. Cover for 15 minutes. Roll and cut in about 2 ½ inch to 3 inch diameter circles. Put potato mixture, about 1 tsp into each dough circle, fold in half and seal. Boil in water for about 5 minutes. Cut bacon into tidbits, chop onion and fry with butter until bacon is crisp and onions are transparent. Add some of the boiled perogies to the onions and bacon. Cook until they get a light crisping. Serve with sour cream.

Fun Camp Food - Ziploc Omelets

Ziploc Omelets

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) and shake to combine them. Put in a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc..

Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bag(s) into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

[Note -- there is some controversy as to whether or not this is safe to do -- plastic bags may change chemically when boiling. As always, proceed at your own risk.]

Best of Show

I used Sure Cuts A Lot 2, to design this vinyl

I won a Best of Show at the Weber County Fair. I entered a vinyl portrait of my great niece. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I also entered a etched mirror with the Ogden temple on it. I was awarded a first on it also.

Update: I also entered these in the Utah State Fair. I won a first place for the vinyl portrait and a third for the etched mirror.
