Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ Kittens


Meet the two newest members of our family.  Isabelle and Spanky.  Sam has been begging us for a kitten of his own for years now.  So this past February before Sam's birthday in March we finally broke down.  He now has two kittens.  This is a current picture of them.  They are not from the same litter but you would think that they were brother and sister.  They do everything together.

Now I have a question for all you photographers out there...is there a way I can take a picture and reduce the noise in my photos when the picture is taken instead of having to reduce it in editing?

This past Easter I made a pie called Easter Hunt Pie.  It was the hit of the party and it was soooo good!  Not to mention EASY!  It's from Eagle Brand's site and is basically a vanilla cream cheese pie.  You could change it up any way you wanted and decorate it for any season.

  • 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 1 (4-serving size) package instant vanilla flavor pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Jelly beans, marshmallow candies or other small Easter candy
  • Toasted coconut for garnish
Instructions:

  • BEAT cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy; gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add water and pudding mix; on low speed, beat until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping.
  • SPOON filling into pie crust. Chill 3 hours. Garnish top of pie with jelly beans, marshmallow candies and toasted coconut as desired and serve.
  • * For young children, use holiday marshmallow candies or soft candies.
