Exciting Times

We spent the day at another beach and built sand castles and a turtle. It was warmer and we had a much nicer time. Going to see Jen and Ryan was a blast!







When we were with Jen & Ryan we went to San Francisco and visited a museum. It was fun!





Larry, Todd and I went to visit Jennifer and Ryan in Oakland. Here are some pictures from our day at the beach near Monterrey. We had a fun time there but it was really cold!










It has been a while since I wrote here, but I have some recipes that you might like. Here they are:

Chicken Rolls
2 Cups Chicken, cooked and chopped
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 square of butter (1/2 cup)
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
3 pkg (8 roll size) crescent rolls

Combine first four ingredients in mixing bowl. Put a spoonful on each roll and fold like a diaper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Make chicken gravy to pour over the top when served.

Milk Cake
Cake:
2 cups Sugar
8 eggs separated
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 cup Milk

Bath:
3 egg yolks
2 12 oz cans of milk
1 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups Heavy Cream
2 teaspoons vanilla

Make the cake:
In a bowl, beat sugar and yolks. Add vanilla, flour, baking powder and milk. Beat well. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until very stiff. Fold into batter, taking care to lose as little volume as possible. Pour batter into a 9 x 13 greased and floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees until light brown. Cool and leave in the pan.

Make the bath:
Combine egg yolks, canned milk, condensed milk, cream and vanilla. Poke holes all over the top of the cake and pour mixture over cake to soak it. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
