Zucchini/Carrot Casserole

I found this recipe on a blog I follow that is written by a woman who posts Amish recipes.  I put it together last night and then we ended up with a change of plans, so I put it in the fridge and made it tonight.  I wasn't blown away by it, but did enjoy it.  I probably would make it again.  I used already shredded carrots from the store, only thing I needed to shred was the zucchini.  Other than that, it was very easy to throw together.

1 cup Bisquick
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 small onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together and put into an 8x8 greased baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.

Revelation Song

Alyssa sang this beautiful song today during church:

Fireworks!

Woodstone Golf Club is a private golf course about a mile away from us.  They have the nicest fireworks.  This year their celebration was last evening, not the Fourth.  Alyssa and I drove to work together yesterday; weren't we surprised when we were on our way home and came upon Woodstone and saw a bunch of hot air balloons.  We went home and picked Kurt up to go to supper and on our way to eat, I drove over by the golf course so I could get a few pics.

After dinner, on our way home, we drove out our road about a 1/2 mile, pulled off on the shoulder and sat there for about 45 minutes waiting for the fireworks to begin.  For some reason I thought they started at 9:30 pm, but they didn't actually start until 10.  But that was OK, Kurt took a mini-nap to be able to stay awake for the show :), and Alyssa and I sat there playing on our phones!  As usual, they had a beautiful show and it lasted approximately 30 minutes.

**Thanks to Alyssa for taking the fireworks pics.  There was a dog running around outside the car parked in front of us; I was a bit nervous about getting out of the car!  She just hung the camera out the window :)  She did a great job!!

Yay!!

Look at this:

 Done 5 months ahead of time!  I don't know why, nor do I care :)  I'm just glad it's open!!

Does It Really Work??

My sister-in-law Martha (you remember her, right?!?!?) emailed me this youtube video, and I decided to experiment on my own to see if it truly does work :)

Put one ear of corn in the microwave for four minutes:

Cut off end of corn, being sure you cut up far enough to cut the silk:

Hold the ear of corn by the silk at the top of the ear and shake:

VOILA:

IT WORKS!!!!
