Sisters' Retreat



Oh yeah, and everyone bring something you would like to wear for your personal portrait session. (Yes, I am serious)

Cabin in Oakley?

After searching the options for our Sister's Retreat...This is my suggestion-





This is a beautiful cabin located in Oakley, Utah. It is situated at the mouth of the Weber Canyon and has a great view of the surrounding mountains. With plenty of recreational activities nearby, this is the perfect place for your weekend getaway with the family. Your family will love this spacious cabin that has room for everyone.

Layout of the Cabin:
1st Level: The main entrance to the cabin goes directly into the large kitchen/dining/tv area. Also on the main level is a large bathroom, two bedrooms and the laundry room. Off of the main level is the large deck with room for everyone.

2nd Level: The second level has a large bathroom, two futons in the spacious sleeping area. There is a balcony for watching the sunset over the western mountains.

3rd Level: The highest level of the cabin is a bunk room with two queen size bunk beds. Off of this room is a half bath, and a small balcony that provides an even better view then that on the second level.

The Cost is $200 a night, which is cheaper than any of the other places of this size...or smaller.

Let me know what you think. We should probably decide soon aye. If not Julia offered her house...

Pumpkin Pancakes

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

DIRECTIONS
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
6 servings.

I read the reviews for this recipe:
-You can substitute the seasonings for 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
- Good with wheat flour instead of white.
- If the batter thickness is a problem for you, you can add a little milk, or just make sure the batter is spread out on the griddle.
For variety/extra flavor you can add chocolate chips or pecans to the batter.

Scratch That


I'm going to Jamaica instead!

Hawaii Anyone?


Due to the extreme cold, I can no longer spend all day every day here. I have decided to take a 5 day sabatical in Hawaii to spend the few dollars that I didn't manager to get rid of in Europe.
