P52 Week #16 : Things That Grow: Crawfish Boil

Crawfish, Crawdads, Mudbugs...

Every year, my dad helps out

 his friend, Tim, with his company crawfish boil.

So we get to come!!

:)

I love me some mudbugs.

Mr. Cook-Man

a.k.a. My Daddy

Silly Daddy! Hot sauce is for food!

Dishin' out the mudbugs.

Behold! My glorious tray of crawfish!

Playin' with the food...

My mother just doesn't know what to do with me.

I think she gave up. haha

I convinced Carissa to eat some! And she liked them!

Muahaha!

This year, many of them were huge!! Borderline lobster!!

Playin' with the food some more...

But look how big some are!! 

They've really grown in size...

Is that too much of a stretch?

Bahahaha...

And my favorite shot of the day...

Left Unattended with Icing and Full Reign...

I have a quirky sense of humor. Yyyyep. Now that I'm 20 and supposedly a "real" adult, I have yet to grow out of this awkwardness. (tehehe) Well, I have a tendency to let my imagination run wild while decorating baked goods. haha

My Sister December's 17th Birthday

 December 2011

Savannah: "Can I decorate your cake once Mom is done??"
December: "I don't care." (well, aren't you a super cool teenager, dude?)
Savannah: "Yay!!!"
December: "You're so weird."
Savannah: runs to kitchen
adequate time passes, giggles periodically coming from the kitchen...
Savannah: "Done!"
December: "What have you done?!" storming into kitchen... "Oh. I don't even like JB."
Savannah: "That's why it's funny!"
cricket. cricket...
Does posting the cake on FB mean she liked it? Maybe? Hmph!


Daddy's 51st Birthday January 2012

The Hunter's dream cake!

But, wait! What is that?!

Well, dear, that would be a great shot!

(hahaha, pun intended! wipe away tear... I just crack myself up sometimes)

What a sneaker! Hiding behind the hunter? What a silly!

Thank you! What an honor it is to be awesome.  I would personally like to thank

my mother for baking and icing some fabulous cakes that serve as my canvas.  And for providing

some plastic figures. And for making that divine homemade icing.

Peace out!

Simple Banana Ice Cream

Let's all scream for banana ice cream! Woot!

*clearing of throat*

Well, I have noticed the notion of making banana ice cream taking the internet by storm, so I decided to experiment.  As always, I like to do things my way, so I would like to share with you my banana ice cream...

I like to make mine with peanut butter, so I like to eat it after I work out.  Eating banana ice cream beats eating straight peanut butter any day. haha.  What we do to get protein...

mmm... goodness, I need to work on my photography skillz. Sorry, guys.



THE Banana Ice Cream

This is such a simple recipe, it doesn't use special or set amounts of ingredients. You just kind of do it.

Ingredients:
Ripe Bananas
Peanut Butter (can be substituted with nutella)
Milk
Freezer, Container


Instructions:
1. Chop up bananas and put into a sealed container.  Freeze for at least several hours.  I tend to do it over night.

Two chopped bananers

2. Once frozen, mash them up.  (note: Many recipes say to use a blender, but I've found that blenders don't really work with this. No worries, using a fork isn't that bad.)



Mashed bananers



3. Add a little bit of milk. A little.  Mash and mix some more!



Mashed bananers and milk.



4. Now comes the peanut butter.  Remember you could use nutella instead.  Also remember that this isn't an exact science.  Add one dollop of peanut butter, try it, and add more if you want more.

I added two dollops about this size...

Now put you lovely creation back in the freezer.  After it has been frozen for a while... eat and enjoy!  It is awesome that some innocent little things mashed together can satisfy my ice cream cravings.

It's a beautiful thing!
