Yesterday we drove out to Silt, Colorado to visit a wonderful new friend from my lady's Bible Study group, Dorothy Ann.

It was a very bright sort of day! Dorothy had invited us to come see all their new baby calves on their ranch.

We also passed a sheep farm.

We had a fun visit with Dorothy Ann and her husband.

In other news.....made one of my favorite desserts Saturday from Taste of Home. The rough idea is layers:
Angel Food Cake pieces
Vanilla pudding
Banana slices in lemon juice
Jello with cut up fresh strawberries
Whipped cream

I also finally made a pot of chicken and dumplings. I studied online and learned how to cut and prepare half moon leeks. Fun addition to the soup, although in my pregnant state, made the house smell too much like onions.
Picture
I use standard recipes--but like adding cornmeal to the dumplings. I use cornstarch broth base o thicken and fry veggies ahead of time (carrots, celery, leeks). It is a great winter comfort food.
Picture
That's it for now  Hope everyone has a good start to the week. :)
