Funnel Cakes

During the summer we visit lots of carnivals and we almost always find ourselves indulging in a funnel cake while we are there. But why should we wait for a carnival for one of our favorite treats? Well, we don’t! Every now and then, we have them at home too.

You will need:
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1 1/3 cups sifted flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Beat the egg and add the milk. Sift dry ingredients together, then add the egg/milk mixture. Beat until smooth. In a heavy skillet, heat 1 1/2" oil to 375 degrees. Holding your finger over the end of a funnel, fill it with the batter. Using a circular motion, pour the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and enjoy!

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Madelyn and Felicia were busy playing together and actually getting along, when Felicia decided that they would play “party”. She called Madelyn on her pretend phone to invite her over for the big bash. Madelyn’s response, “Well, I’ll have to ask my parole officer.”

Huh? Maybe she was pretending to be Lindsay Lohan.

Cookie Face

I’m really not sure how a cookie can turn into this, but she certainly seemed to enjoy it!
