Prayers and hugs  everyone..

Sorry for being gone for so long..  Just everyday stuff happening..  wake up, bathroom,  meds, snack if time, grandson comes in for a morning hugs,  time for living room time, help take care of grandson  - keep him out of things he is not suppose to be in, etc.. 

Van broke down - so for a week Till repaired grandson home all the time with the rest of us...  sometimes we wish for a slow switch, he is constantly on the go..  no downtime from at least one of us or more constantly watching him,  even 1 second of not closely watching he is into something  or making a mess..  son-in-law has ocd & anxiety and dd has lots of medical issues also, including a bad case of fibro..  she finally got on disability so that will relieve a lot of financial tension  here...  son-in-law has been going driving  - Uber eats - upto 6 days a week for 5 - 10 hours a day to help with. Utilities  and expenses, we have not been riding along, due to medical and heat issues..

I having been praying 🙏 that all of you are doing better each day..  and that you have been finding things to do daily that bring joy into your lives..

Grandson is going to daycare/school today.. maybe I will have time to sew today or cut out more bags (for shopping) to sew..  I keep changing my mind on design of them..

they got the van working yesterday..  alternator and serpentine belt, will need spark plugs soon also..


Prayers and hugs everyone..

May sunshine, joy, and love fill your lives daily..

Later..  time to catch up on some  reading of threads..

Prayers and hugs everyone..

Hope and pray you have all had a good day..

Sorry I  have several weeks of catching up to do..

Not much Christmas here, no decorations  and only presents for  dgs Noah  (2 1/2)..

No one was in much mood for  celebration..

December 26th I  was taken to urgent care for badly swollen right ear, they sent me to  ER, where I was admitted..  they said ear cellulitis,  exterior ear, couldn't touch without severe pain..  I was released on 31st..  I  also had  rsv infection.. so I was on 2 antibiotics  and a steroid..  yesterday and today I  am slowly feeling better..  but still  have a cough  with some congestion.. 

We also got a puppy- Burmese mountain dog / poodle / German Shepard mix..   he will  be a nice size  dog..  we are hoping to have him as ESA / service dog in training  at home..I  named him Taz,  Elmer would have like him and his name..  currently with my health and trouble walking,  others are having to take him out often for potty runs,  but still some indoor accidents..  it will  nice when. I can help more..

So that is what has been happening out way..  of course cold weather,  but no snow  here so far..

I will be  reading  and catching up, hopefully this week..

Prayers and hugs everyone..

Later..

Happy Birthdays Everyone..

I cant find my Recipe for Butterhorns / Cinnahorns so here is how I make them..

Dough - I make a Sweet Roll Dough - any roll recipe for something like Cinnamon rolls, etc. will work nicely..

​I take the Sweet Roll Dough and roll it into a rectangle.. then spread a nice layer of Butter over 2/3s of the rectangle.. then fold the unbuttered 1/3 over middle buttered 1/3 then fold the last 1/3 of buttered over the top - forming three layers of dough with butter between the layers..  Roll back into a rectangle and let rest a few minutes.. you can chill a little if you want to firm up the butter before next step..

​Repeat Layering with Butter - 1 more time..  Roll Into Rectangle.. let rest a few minutes again.. you could even chill it if you want to firm up the butter some.. 

​If you are making Cinnahorns - add your cinnamon sugar with the layers of Butter..

​now that layered dough is rested..  slice across the folded layers in approximately 3/4 inch slices.. twist each slice and then swirl each slice into a danish looking style roll..  Place on baking pan lined with SilPat or Parchment Paper (easier clean up) or buttered pan..

Bake as you would cinnamon rolls - but may take a little less time..

​when done baking spoon topping / frosting on top and place some slivered almonds on top..

​for my topping i use - some cream, powdered sugar, and Almond Extract - make to soft drizzle consitancy (sp) (not runny).. you want the frosting to stay on top the Butterhorns / Cinnahorns.. it will melt a little putting it on warm Butterhorns / Cinnahorns..  I somtimes use Vanilla or other extracts when making the Cinnahorns..
 

Here are the recipes I'm using this Christmas Holiday..
  gone post 1 recipe at a time for easier reading..
*******************************
DoPep (Gluten) Steaks - notepad

1 1/2 cup water
  1/4 cup flour
  1/4 cup oats
  1/2 cup Brewers (Nutritional) Yeast
  1/2 tsp Garlic Salt or Powder (granulated)
1 onion
  1/4 cup celery, sliced
  1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Bragg's Aminos

Blend together..

Add to:
2 cup gluten (DoPep) flour
* 1/4 cup gluten flour
   * add More as needed, a little at a time
 
Mix in a large bowl.. let set for a few minutes (allows gluten to soak up the liquid)..
Divide into 2 and roll into logs.. slice in 1/4" slices..
  or grab small pieces and flatten out (i use my hands)..

Cook in broth of your choice, about 45 minutes to 1 hour..
​Use a Large Kettle with lid.. be careful it will boil over if heat is too high.. and make a big mess on stove.. dont fill kettle more than 3/4 full.. the Gluten steaks expand usually at least by twice the size you make them..

Broth I use is -
   lots of water
​   about 3 Tablespoons soy sauce / Bragg's Liquid Aminos
        too taste
   1 quartered onion
   several cloves of garlic
​   3-4 ribs of celery cut to about 4 inch lengths

Drain and fry (coated with a breading mix)..
  or use as is in recipes..

Breading Mix - I use is:
2 cups Brewers (Nutritional) Yeast
1 cup flour
1 Tablespoon Garlic powder

May freeze before frying..

this is a older family recipe.. i copied this from momma's recipe..
