Chocolate Pie

I have made this chocolate pie twice in the last several days. It is reeeeeeeally good! I did do 2 things different, though:

1. I didn't use 4 raw eggs. I just didn't want to be eating raw-egg pie, so we got a carton of Egg Beaters and I used that. 1/4 cup of it equals 1 egg. It is real egg product but it is pasteurized so there's not a slight chance it could be carrying salmonella or anything like with regular eggs.

2. We didn't have any baker's chocolate, so I used the cocoa/oil substitute. 3 tablespoons of cocoa and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil equals one square of melted unsweetened baking chocolate.

The pie still turned out great and it set up fine. I put whipped cream on top and it was DELICIOUS! You really have to try it!

Need A Laugh?

I can't believe I haven't posted since September! We've all been really busy. I know I've probably said this before, but I really am going to try to start posting more. I'm going to try to post at least twice a week.

Anyways, if you need a laugh, you've come to the right place!



(Yes, this is MY little sister, and not some random baby off of YouTube! I was the one giving the interview.)

Sooo... have you laughed yet?

Randomness And A Video

I haven't posted here in forever! We just started school last week and I've been really busy.

List of random items:

1. We have homeschool gym day, piano, and gymnastics all on Monday AND we also have to get all of our school work done!
2. I jammed my left thumb at gymnastics last Monday.
3. It's a good thing it wasn't my right thumb because then I wouldn't be able to hold a pencil. Wait... would that be a bad thing?
4. Have you ever tried functioning with only 1 thumb?
5. A couple of weeks ago my big 55 gallon fish tank started leaking everywhere.
6. I decided to try to sell it instead of re-sealing it. Again.
7. Someone is very interested in it and I'm really hoping they buy it! *Fingers crossed*
8. I'm saving up my money to buy a turtle or tortoise, but I'm not going to be able to get one until after we move.
   
9. I really want a Hermann's Tortoise, but the only kind of tortoise that any pet stores around here carry is a Russian Tortoise, so I might have to get one of those instead. Or I might get a box turtle, because they're not as expensive. But I really want the Hermann's Tortoise.
10. I have decided to do a weekly video interview with my baby sister Emelyn and post it on my blog. She'll be 2 on December 7th.

Here's this week's video:

Gymnastics!

Sorry for the long delay in posting, peoples. I've been really busy lately. I just got back from church camp on Friday, and I haven't really had time to post anything.

I'm starting gymnastics tomorrow! I'm super excited! Cameron (9) and Adrienne (7) are also starting. We've been seeing what we can do on the trampoline. I can do a cartwheel, a summersalt, ande I can also do a flip in midair by pushing off of my hands! If I go over hard enough I can land right on my feet and stand up.

Does anyone have any tips for the first day of gymnastics?

And does anyone notice anything different around here? I just completely re-did my blog and I love the way it looks! I'd also love to get feedback!

The Big One

We had a huge storm here recently. The hail was golf ball sized, the power went out for over an hour, and our trampoline almost blew away!
