I made pronto pups this week – 

Does anyone else call corn dogs this? 

My Mom always has -

 And here's how we've always made them...

 First, we cook the hotdogs

[I cut them in half before I skewer them.] 

I believe cooking them 

helps the batter to stick a little better...

Next we just mix up a basic cornbread recipe 

and dip 'em in!

 Next I pop them in the hot oil on the stove,

and cook 'til brown all over --!

 Easy!

Then serve with the basic mustard and ketchup!

YUM.

I'll admit, this is probably only the second time 

I've made these in TEN YEARS 

[that's how long we've lived in this house - lol.]

We've watched three movies this week:      

Trouble With the Curve

[pretty good -]

Fiend Without a Face

[FUN - 1957 - at the Space Center!]

and

Dark Shadows

[Not as corny as I thought it was going to be -

a fun take on the 70s icon 

that I remember watching with my gr-mother.]

Other things accomplished this week: 

 I practiced making Mickey heads -

[Not thrilled with the results...

But they tasted GREAT!]

The gate for fire pit is completed - 

The Secret Garden is enclosed [thanks sweetie]

      I had lunch with a great friend -   

      Weeded the flower beds [vinegar and salt works to an extent -]

      Had some scrapbooking time with the gals!  

       And dinner with the youngest – 

We always try to fill his tank with gas when we see him

[real-life-photo.]

Things are revving up for the Disney Wedding – I’m excited and little overwhelmed trying to coordinate travel - pickup and delivery - ha-

 from three different places – 
[But that's just my OCD talking --]

 Not to mention figuring how I’m going to do a [fake] grooms cake – 

Yes. I’ll explain more later – ha. --

 I know it’ll all come together and be wonderful!

 

And finally - our magnolias are blooming! 

They usually bloom at the end of April / first of May -

LOVE THEM. 

[Paint filter on my camera -]

Have a great week y’all!
