When I was looking through some pictures this week, I kept noticing pictures of kids looking adorable, so I decided to share a few good ones with you today.

As I mentioned in this post, I like to do some prep cooking when I have the chance. Walt and I really enjoy Mexican food, so we like to have some meat prepared for easy dinners. We usually just make an oversized batch when we are preparing dinner and then freeze the leftovers for later use.
We have used this basic recipe for quesadillas, tacos, chimichangas, and other dishes. It can be made with beef, pork, or chicken. Walt combined a couple of recipes to create this recipe.
Bill and Bea are Walt’s aunt and uncle. William Era Hoel was born on February 5, 1904. Lillian Beatrice Burritt was born July 14, 1907.
Bill and Bea were married September 1, 1925. I thought it would be nice to remember them.
For the last few years I have been growing poblano peppers in my garden. They are a darker green and when fully ripe are a nice deep red. When a poblano is dried, it is called an ancho. They are a mild to medium pepper in terms of heat.
I usually pick them when they are green, but I don’t worry if they turn before I use them.
When we get to this time of year, I always think of back to school. I thought I would share a few pictures from Georgie’s collection from 1934 in West Point, Iowa.
I have been trying for some time to find a biscuit recipe that comes out flaky and light. I am getting there, but I will always compare my biscuits to the ones we had in a little café when visiting Memphis .
This recipe is the result of many attempts to come up with a really good biscuit. Thank goodness Walt is a willing test subject for my cooking experiments!
The same sort of features that make a flaky pie crust, like I covered in this post, apply to flaky biscuits.
Noel Edward Manley was my (Michelle’s) great-uncle. He was born August 18, 1924 in Rapid City, South Dakota to Joe and Bessie Manley. He was part Oglala Lakota and supported organizations that gave back to the Native American Community.
As you saw in my post last Monday, we like to take Jaxon hiking in the woods with us. Since he is a short hair, we thought is was important to get him a coat to help keep him dry and warm. We found a very nice coat that fit him well. Unfortunately it didn’t stand up to the wear and tear of a dog running through the woods.
In a few posts, I have been discussing some of the challenges of identifying people when you are doing genealogical research. I covered immigration and census records in this post. I talked about some of the difficulties encountered in translation and working with older documents in this post.
Today, I am going to look at some naming conventions that can make it difficult to determine exactly who you are looking at.
Our dog Jaxon loves to hike with us. I needed a leash that would work while hiking, sometimes with a large pack on my back. Since I use two trekking poles when I am on the trail, my hands needed to free.
