Sexy Guest post for my Sexy friend.

I made a guest post for my friend the sexy sex author.
She writes some great romance novels, get your kink on with Toto and Dorthy from her rendition of wizard of oz, or her sexy story about the gods of Greek myths.
Though I must let you know, her blog is often times not safe for work, or small children.
With posts such as the sexy pictures of the week (though almost every post has a sexy picture of some oh so Delicious man) and six sentence Sunday with exerts from her books, you'll get something exciting from her blog.
Welcome To My Island. Author DXLuc
Hope you enjoy her blog as much as I do!

First hair cut!

My little boy is growing up way to fast. He'll be 16 months on the 13th. That CRAZY 2 years ago around this time I found out I was pregnant. Now, he's a toddler running around like crazy, trying to make my hair go gray early.
He is the joy of my life, and my baby.
Or was my baby, now he is a toddler. His new hair cut reaffirms this too. He no longer LOOKS like a baby!

Guh a buzz cut. What have I done? All his beautiful soft baby hair. It makes me cry, seriously, I cried.
He's got to grow up though right? And he looks cute regardless of what his hair looks like.
So even though he no longer looks like a baby, he'll always be my baby.
I love him so much.

Easiest fricken biscuits EVER!

Biscuits, ah I love me some biscuits. Seriously, they are great for breakfast through dinner. Smother it with sausage gravy, sandwich some meat inside it, spread some honey on it, or use it to soak up your soup. Mmmm biscuits. Now I want some damn biscuits.
ANYWAYS. These biscuits are hearty, flaky, fluffy, soft, tasty, but most importantly they are EASY. Oh so easy to make. Seriously I don't think you could mess this one up.

Things you'll need
2 cups of self rising flour
1/4th cup shortening (or 3ish large scoops)
2/3 cup of milk


NOW, Lets start cookin'!
Preheat your oven to 350*

Fold your shortening into the flour, which is a fancy way of saying squish the shortening with a fork till it is mixed well with flour.

Next, add the milk, one splash at a time, also don't mix it to much or it will make the biscuits hard.
Now you can stop here and make drop biscuits, just drop balls of dough on a cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes.
or

To make folded biscuits, drop a bit on a floured surface and press them flat with your hands well floured.
Fold then press flat, fold again then press flat, fold again and press flat, fold again and press flat. keep doing that then put them on a cookie sheet and bake for 7 min.


And there you have it, easy to make biscuits!
Enjoy!


How do you like your biscuits?

Wayne

I've been delaying doing this post for a while now. I'm lost in thought, I'm hurt, I'm angry, I'm still in denial.
On March 21st 2012 we lost a good friend to suicide.
Wayne. Wayne was a good friend, a great friend. Full of heart he hid it from people who didn't really know him by being a sarcastic asshole. If you could get past his walls he was one of the best friends you could ever have. He was the first of my husbands friends that I hung out with. As soon as we got introduced he looks straight at my husband and says "Good choice, A whole lot better than the last one man" And gives me an ear to ear grin.

His ear to ear grin

After hanging out with him a few times he grew on me like moss on a tree. One evening I turned to him and said "Hey Wayne, I don't have many friends...... Will you be my friend." He blinked at me like I just said the stupidest thing he's ever heard. A grin slowly spreads across his face and he laughs "I don't think I've actually had anyone ask ME to be their friend...... Yeah, yeah Lorren I'll be your friend."

Though I loved him, I was one of the many. My husband considered him his best friend, and so did countless other. He was one of the guys that even though you hadn't hung out with him in a while, he'd still be there for you if you called and needed help.

"big smiles" A toast to Wayne
(At his memorial)

I don't know why he did what he did, I don't know the back story, I don't know how he felt. We saw him the Saturday before and nothing seemed amiss. But, now he is gone, we can never ask him why. I know he will be missed. Rest in peace Wayne, your demons can no longer get you where you are.

Boy did my garden grow!

So, as we know I planted a garden in a bath tub
Well it has grown!
I get so excited when I see that my plants have gotten bigger!
I also mulched the top of it to help keep soil moist and keep down weeds and pests.

I couldn't stop there!
I found out you can buy edible plants and seed with EBT/SNAP card!
Sooooo we got more. :)

Broccoli and Strawberries

Orange peppers, Red peppers

Spicy oregano, German thyme
Yellow peppers

Romaine lettuces, and Cucumber

And down here, you can barley see Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, and Onion.
Next week I'm planting yellow and red potatoes!

The clear buckets were part of a storage drawer system, we just poked holes in the bottom.
And the colored buckets were a dollar each! They are waste baskets from the dollar tree.

Love watching my plants grow!

Chicken potpie and peach crisp

I am seriously addicted to comfort food.
There is just something to home cooked thick flavorful food that makes me think of "home"
Even if my moms idea of chicken pot pie is the kind you buy frozen and microwave.

So here is a recipe of chicken pot pie made mainly with canned food, but you can substitute fresh or frozen. It was silent in my house while we were eating this, I also got told it was the best thing I've come up with yet!

What you'll need 
filling
1 can of cut carrots (drain)
1 can of sweet peas (drain)
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of cream of celery
2 large cans of chicken breast (drain)


crust
1 and 1/2 cup of milk
1 stick of butter
1 and 1/2 cup of  self rising flour


Make it
Preheat oven to 350*F
Fold butter into flour in a mixing bowl.
Add milk mix till it has an even consistency. 
Mix all the cans into a large casserole dish 
Pour the crust dough on top.
cook for 60 min, check to make sure dough is done all the way through.

 Eat and enjoy!



And as a special bonus dessert!
Peach crisp.


What you'll need
a few peaches
2 cups of oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 stick of butter


Start cooking
Preheat oven to 350*F
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl well.
put the butter in and smush with finger till all butter is mixed really well with dry ingredients
Slice peaches and put in a casserole dish
Top with oatmeal mixture
bake for 45min

  Very good. Crispy on top and smushy on bottom and sweet all the way through!
