We thankfully were able to get the adventure started, it did remain wild, but Holly and i stuck with the adventure best we could :)

Our nature friends were up early this morning, i saw mr. nut squirrel climbing down from the trees to come to gather goodies :) i think it's amazing, how our nature friends remember our yard, and bird feeders, and knowing that they can visit our yard to enjoy some nice goodies :) i put lots of goodies all around our backyard, and in the bird sanctuary area for our nature friedns :) They love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) awww! :) the spring season continues to blossom beautifully all around :) it's very neat, to see everything growing, and flourishing :) We love these sweet spirited dyas of spring season, and looking forward to an a awesome fun new gardening season soon :) our plants, fruit trees, and flower bushes continue to do very well :) our lilacs are blososming ,and soon we'll have roses blossoming :) There's an awesome spirit of the season in the air :) We look forward to many more spring time nature walks, and upcoming gardening adventures :) Happy spring nature s miles :)



it was a sweet spirited early morning :) We enjoyed our breakfast, and having some iced coffee, water, and sprite soda :) i began to gather our baking friday supplies, decorations ,and went out into our kitchen to begin to set up and decorate our kitchen, for our super fun adventure :) Today, i decorated with a nice spirit of spring season theme :) our kitchen looked great! :) it's so much fun decorating :) as the morning was going on, we put the sports radio on :) We're very happy and excited! :) Holly and i enjoyed the Celtics game last night, they had a big win, and have won their first round series ,4-2 :) They advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs, and will be playing vs the Philly 76ers :) it's gonna be an awesome 2nd round series :) the 2nd round is taking shape, with 2 more spots available in the Western conference :) Holly and i are enjoying the playoffs, and are so excited to watch more games :) We're also catching up on the nfl draft news :) around mid-day,we enjoyed a nice lunch, and during the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and also prepared the pretzel dough :) The dough is very easy to make :)



Pretzel Dough :) i mix 1 cup of water with 1 packet of yeast :) i add in some vegetable oil (about a quarter cup), i then add in about 5 tablespoons of sugar, and dried onion flakes :) i then add the flour in and stir, until the dough is really good for making pretzels :) i then put the pretzel dough into the fridge to rise during the afternoon :)



Around 3pm, Jenn and the kids came over, and the triplets and Brody came over :) Lots of great spring excitement in the air, the kids have been doing very well in school :) Brody goes to pre-school, and Carter will begin pre-school next september :) We're so proud of the kids :) They're all looking forward to a great summer season :) We all began to gather in our kitchen :) The kids love to select their spots at the kitchen counter :) the kids, Holly, and i got our picture taken :) it's a cool baking friday tradition :) You all are always right there with us in spirit, during these very special, spirited fun times :) Each week, we love to use our nice baking friday supplies that we've recieved from family and friends over the years :) i wear my nice apron that Holly gave me, and we use our nice oven mits, kitchen bowls, and all of our supplies, are a big part of our baking ,and cooking each week :) our kitchen was all set, and we were ready to bake some awesome goodies :) Calling all cookie monsters! :) Cookie monsters unite! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :) (We had a bit of a delay before baking, Brody was having a trantrum, screaming, but thankfully calmed down) :)



we began our super fun adventure :) baking friday teamwork! :) we first began to prepare the brownies :)the kids were extra wild today, and were jumping around, the triplets began to wreathle, and Carter was throwing punches, oh my!!! Holly and i tried to restore order to the kitchen ,and Jenn told everyone to calm down too. We were able to super stir the brownies, Hunter and Jacob were helping prepare the brownies :) it continued to be wild in the kitchen, but we were doing best we could. Brayden and Colby went into the living room, and Carter seemed to calm down a bit too. Holly and i helped the kids with the brownies, and i used vegetable oil to grease the baking pan, and poured the brownies into the pan, and put the brownies into the oven to bake :)



As the brownies were baking, things calmed own in the kitchen, and we prepared the onion pretzels :)The dough has rised nicely :) i sliced the dough into portions, and we made the dough into nice portions, and we made the dough into pretzels shapes :) i had some water heating up on a cooking pot on the stove, and i put the pretzels into the water, for about 1 minute :) i used butter to grease the baking pan, and used a metal spatula to put the pretzels onto the baking pan :) We melted butter, and added onion flakes into the butter, and then drizzled the butter/onion flakes onto the pretzel, with a few onion flakes, and then put the pretzels into the oven to bake :)



We did some cleaning up in the kitchen :) The brownies finished baking ,and we baked the onion pretzels between 15 and 20 minutes, they baked nicely :) i took some pictures of the goodies, and we all began to dig in :) i thanked the kids and Holly for helping bake :) Jenn and my mom took the kids outside to play, it was good for them, as they were very nerve-racking rowdy in the kitchen today, and next week we want to take better control of the kitchen, before we begin to bake :) We look forward to many more baking friday adventures :) a very special shoutout for family and friends :) lots of great baking, and cooking this week :) We love hearing about the goodies and foods you all bake and cook :) We're all with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) This is so much fun and very special :) i wish we all could gather and have a big baking friday picnic :) Brownies, and Onion Pretzels, dedicated to our wonderful family, friends, and to the awesome spirit of the season :) We love you all, so very very much! :) many great memories made, to always cherish and treasure :) baking friday! :) We love it!!! :) April 28th, 2023 :) Happy baking friday everyone! :)

Looks like the baking crew had a fun time baking brownies and onion pretzels. Unfortunately children can get rowdy at times at least you know they were having fun lol
Both your brownies and your pretzels look really yummy, I wish I could reach in and grab a brownie lol
Thanks for sharing your day with us. I hope you and Holly have a fun trip to the dollar tree and enjoy watching your basketball and possibly a movie
Hugs Jeannie
