FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 596 and SUMMER DELIGHTS

Time to party! Welcome and let's see what you've got to share!

Sunday, June 14th is Flag Day. I love Flag Day for a few reasons:

No school (when I was a child).

It's the same week as my birthday.

I love our country and our flag!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY 595 AND SCHOOL IS OUT

Hello all! It's the last day of school here in Winnemucca, NV. Grandkids came over, as usual, for breakfast (Grandpa made Popeye Pancakes/Dutch Babies or other names as they are known as) and we made sure they got last day of school photos as Mama Staci was running a bit late today. Staci has been getting the kids packed to go to their dad's in Texas this summer. Staci will fly with them to Texas on Saturday and then she will fly back on Sunday, for work on Monday. We will miss those cute kids this summer!

Here is out recipe for POPEYE PANCAKES

POPEYE PANCAKES RECIPE

Hi there! Today I wanted to share a delicious recipe that I have had for many years. It was always a big hit for my boys, and then my girls later on. We made it today for our grandkids' last day of school (Mom drops them off before she goes to work). I have had people tell me they call them German Pancakes, Dutch Babies, etc. Have you made these and if so, what do you call them?

Lots of protein and sweet, too.

POPEYE PANCAKES

Six Tablespoons butter

Six whole eggs

One cup milk

One cup all-purpose flour

One-half cup granulated sugar

One-half teaspoon vanilla extract

Dash salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish and allow to melt. Meanwhile, add all other ingredients into blender pitcher and mix on high for about 2 minutes, until foamy. Pour over melted butter in pan. Allow to bake for approximately 20 minutes, till slightly golden on top. The pancakes will appear "bumpy" in some areas, thus the name "Popeye" (I supposed lol).

Serve with powdered sugar, jam or syrup, along with sausage, bacon, or fruit. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY INTRO 5/29/26

Not sure what happened but a big chunk of FF was missing on Friday. See below:

Hello! Our Silkie chicks hatched a week ago today, just as we were leaving for Arizona. Only two of the eggs hatched but that gives each Susie and Sally a baby to care for. Haven't decided on names yet but all of our chickens are named after our grandmothers or great-grandmothers (except Susie and Sally, named after Silkies my family had when I was a child). So, I will need to do some family research to come up with old-fashioned names, such as Annie, Eva, Piety, Hallie, Hannah and Helen.

Anyone else here have backyard chickens? Let us know in the comments!

If you are looking for a cool summer salad, here is one that is quick to make! Add a dinner roll and some melon or grapes and there you go! Recipe for SEAFOOD SALAD (one of my kids' favorites).
