Lillian & Memphis Play Date

We were DELIGHTED to have Lillian staying here for a few days after the holidays. I set up a "play date" with her cousin Memphis...Lilly is crazy about dinosaurs -- Memphis -- not so much...

Lillian loves sharing a chair. Again, Memphis isn't quite so sure it's a good plan...

Lilly didn't really want to share any of the purses...

Here, my sister Ronda, holding the girls (Memphis is relieved to see HER OWN PEOPLE). Lillian is, once again, reacting to her little white dog Christmas dress...which I keep thinking she should LOVE...

But Lillian does not love it. Not even a little bit.

Really, Emily...I swear...she only had the darn thing on for 3 or 4 minutes...

And it's official. I give up. You will never see the little white dog dress again...I'm over it.

Love it! Thank you for the laugh. She may have been miserable, but it made my day.

Thanks, Ann! It is always disappointing when reality conflicts with our expectations. I'm learning to cope...

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
