Concentration Lips



When Abigail concentrates on something, she usually ends up making these lips :)  She was helping me lay out saltine crackers so we could make Easy Toffee.  I saw it again later in the day when she was painting.

Drinks

Abigail + water + milk = plenty of hydration

Country Ham Steak with Glazed Apples

This is a new recipe we tried tonight found on cooks.com.  It definitely has an interesting combination of foods, but I really liked it.  Jason said, "different but good".  Caden didn't like the apples, and Abigail didn't really like it.  We'll probably try it again anyway.

3 Tbs. butter
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 cups (2 medium) cored, sliced 1/8 inch tart apples
1 lb. (1/2 inch thick) ham steak

In large skillet, melt butter until sizzling; stir in brown sugar and mustard. Add apples.  Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until apples are crispy tender (5 to 7 minutes).  Place ham steak in same skillet, arranging apples on ham steak.  Cover; continue cooking until ham steak is heated through (5 to 7 minutes).
