Day 25 – I Heart My Ulu

A few years back I got the GREAT knife called an ulu from Alaska for a gift.  This is not my picture but mine looks just about the same.

 

My parents have really sharp knives.  When they come to either my siblings or my own house they bring their sharpening stuff with them.  My mom just can’t stand to work with dull knives (I don’t blame her) and getting my own supplies is just never on my mind at the store.  They bought me this super sharp knife that cuts through beef like butter that is amazing.  Anyway, they sharpened my ulu and HOLY COW I LOVE it.  Chopping is so fast and easy and I don’t know why these things are not more popular!  I can even chop with one hand and hold the baby with the other.

Unfortunately,  it is dull again.  I used it too much. (Sigh) Maybe I will finally remember to get my own whet stone – or whatever it is you sharpen knives with… sounds like I need to do some research lol!

Day 24

I found my camera!  During the snow storm last week, Ahnna’s friend, Louesa, just three door’s down from us had a birthday party.  Let me tell you, even though it was so close, it was hard work getting over there!  I bundled up Summer and got help from Aaron to walk us down there.  Summer was so cute, I tried to get a picture while we were walking but, it didn’t do her justice.

 

It was a pirate party!  The kids had so much fun acting like pirates Argh!

 

 

I do have group photos but I don’t know how the other parents feel about having their kids photos on the internet so I wanted to respect their privacy.  Happy birthday Louesa!!  Thanks for inviting us!

Day 23

The blog that has the pretzel bites is actually a really good baking blog.  I subscribed to it and she did a post with a load of different things you can do with Rhodes Rolls. http://www.justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com

 

Yeah looks so good.  There were two on there I couldn’t decide between, the orange knots and that flower looking thing, so I decided to combined them and do orange knot ingredients in the flower shape.

Horrible phone picture but really yummy orange rolls.
