THANKFUL THURSDAY

For my job at the daycare, we need to update our CPR class every 2 years, and first aid, along with communicable disease and lastly child abuse every 3 years. I am thankful that last night was my last class for 2 years(yeah me) and it was child abuse.....

I hate taking these classes...this was at the end of the day from 6:30 to 9:30....the first thing the teacher says is that we will be there the whole 3 years (yuck)...and then she has us state our first name, the name of the center we work at and then the age of the children in our room....

By this time, I am annoyed, I just want this class done and out of my hair....but no we need to count by fours so we can split up into groups and discuss what the definition of the different types of abuse and 5 signs of abuse and then the 5 signs of the person who is carrying out the abuse.....

We had to also finish the paper and read some articles from the paper she had cut out for us to discuss...let me say I am thankful 3 more years before I have to take this class again......

ORIGINAL FLORIDA KEY LIME PIE RECIPE - FLORIDA'S OFFICIAL STATE PIE...



1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

4 egg yolks

4 oz. Florida Key West Key Lime Juice

9" graham cracker pie crust

Mix milk and egg yolks completely with electric mixer. Slowly add key lime juice and mix thoroughly. Pour into 9-inch prepared graham cracker pie shell. Bake at 350o for 8 minutes*. Turn oven off and crack door. *If making meringue, place meringue on hot key lime pie, sealing edges to crust, then toast to a golden brown. Keep a close eye on it. It'll start to toast real fast. Turn oven off and crack door after browning meringue. If using whipped topping, bake for 10 minutes. Let pie cool before placing in refrigerator. If using whipped topping, place on pie prior to serving and garnish as desired.






PUMPKIN PIE

½ cup Sugar
½ tsp Ground Nutmeg
½ tsp Salt
1 Ready-made Piecrust
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1/3 cup Well-Packed Brown Sugar
1½ cup Evaporated Milk
2 cups Canned Pumpkin Puree
3 Eggs
Whipped Topping


Method:
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Place the piecrust in the oven to warm it.
Mix all the ingredients (except the piecrust) in a large bowl until they blend smoothly.
Remove the piecrust from the oven.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the hot piecrust and place it in the oven again.
Let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
You have to be vigilant while baking the pie because the crust of an over-baked pie may crack open.
When the filling is almost solid and just a little bouncy, the pie is done.
Let the pie cool on a rack.
Refrigerate it until the next day but make sure that you do not keep the pie in the freezer or it may get damaged.
Cut the pie into slices and put a dollop of whipped topping on the top of each slice while serving.

SUNDAY MUSINGS....

I am trying hard to keep my blog going....but I am starting to have writers block and I know this is a common occurrence....I have been very careful in writing things about my relationship with my family as I don't want to offend anyone.

I don't write about work as a few coworkers read my blog and don't want to offend any one there.....and really nothing exciting is going on in my life that I don't write about now....I guess that I will need to have do something exciting so I have something to write about LOL
