We began our super fun adventure! :) Today, Brody and Carter helped bake goodies, and the other kids joined in on the baking friday fun too :) we first began by preparing the brownies :) Brody and Carter were so proud, they each got a spoon to use :) it's so much fun teaching the kids how to bake :) Brody and Carter love to help, and the other kids love to help too :) The kids were going back and forth, from the kitchen and living room at times, playing games, and joining in the baking friday too :) We added the ingredients into the bowl, and began to super stir! :) Brody and Carter were so excited, they were talking to eachother, it was quite the sight to see them both baking, they were so into super stirring the brownies mix :) my mom, and Jenn came out into the kitchen, and you all are always right there with us in spirit :) we were having so much fun baking :)
once the brownies mix was all stirred, i ued vegetable oil to grease the bakng pan, and poured the brownies mix into the baking pan, and put the brownies into the oven to bake :) we did some cleaning up in the kitchen, and got ready to make the apple pie :)Earlier, Holly added the brown sugar, and cinnamon onto the apples, and i boiled the apples with the brown sugar, and cinnamon on a cooking pot on the stove :) Holly's doing so much better, and is building up her strength,and stamina, and is gonna be returning to the kitchen with us all very soon :) i put the ready made pie crust into the pie baking dish, and we added the boiled apples, and added in some more brown sugar, all spice, and cinnamon, andi put the other half of the pie crust, on top of the apples, and used a butterknife to make small holes in the pie crust, so that the pie bakes evenly :) i covered the pie with aluminum foil, and put the pie into the oven to bake :) it's very special to us, using apples from our trees, macintosh tree, winesap apple tree, and golden delicious apple tree, to bake today's apple pie :)
As the brownies and apple pie were baking, i prepared some onions, and the onion ring batter dip, it's flour, milk, 2 eggs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder :) i got the frylater going on the back of the oven area, in safe place, and dipped the onions into the batter dip, and then added some onion rings into the frylater :)The onion rings were coming out great, i took a picture of some, and we all began to dig in :) i made an extra plate for Holly, and Alyssa :) Alyssa came over around 4pm, after work :) She was so excited to have some onion rings :) the brownies finished baking, they baked nicely :)the brownies have nice chocolate chunks in them :) once the brownies finished cooling a bit, i cut the brownies, and took a picture, and then brought the brownies into the living room :) The apple pie baked for a good 40 minutes, it baked so nicely :) the crust came out nice golden color :) on September 21st, 2007, i took a picture of our apple pie we baked, in our microwave :) today, i did the smae thing, i took a picture of the pie, in our microwave :) celebrating 14 years of baking friday, and looking forward to many many more baking friday's : )
