"Special" Buttermilk Vanilla Syrup
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Bring butter, sugar, buttermilk and baking soda to a boil in an over sized pot for the job (it boils really big). Turn off heat and add vanilla. Serve and enjoy over french toast or pancakes. It can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the microwave.
Here are some other sweets:
M and Kat: "we'd like a candy cane please"
Carl: "I don't know" (playing the 'be not greedy' card)
Maglet: "I would like world peace" seriously.
Sweet Yams
Jeff has played volleyball (off and on) with the same group of guys since High School. It was nice to live in Utah for him to be able to participate in a tournament other than Moab. The other nice thing was that his brother CJ happened to be travelling West on business and was able to come and play as well. Also, most of the other teams in this tournament were college teams so our "wily, mature and experienced husbands/Dad's/professionals with day jobs" were up against teams that are much younger and play together regularly. Go YAMS!
The Team
Nice pass CJ!!
Strategizing
Go Eddie (and I happen to like your day glo shorts!)
CJ and Jeff
Up for the Block
They ended up taking 9th in the tournament. It was slow going and frustrating at first but they warmed up and figured out how to play together better by the end of today. It was good to win the last game.

Love the info on the squash. That sounds like something that I would do and end up cleaning up for a long time:)
I laughed out loud about the world peace comment from Mags and the spaghetti squash exploding!! Glad to see you finally posted again. What are you, busy?
Ha! That squash story is hilarious - and something that I am surprised I haven't done.
Where's the pic of Maglet covered in squash? I actually ate a spaghetti squash last night after laughing so hard about your post. :) You were always good at getting me to eat my veggies.
I got your letter last night! So cute. Tell Maglet thanks for her cute messages. I loved them. I also think she should start training for Miss America... she'd be a natural. ;)
It was good to see you this weekend!! Great pics - still fun watching the leftover Yams!
Okay, now that I have dried my eyes from laughing about the squash (mostly because I didn't have to clean up), I will take note, no spaghetti squash in the microwave. Which is actually valuable information as I fully cook butternut squash all the time in the microwave. Maybe I will outfit the family with safety goggles to be on the safe side.
It is so fun to see all that you are up to. I hope you have gotten all the spaghetti squash picked up! It sounds like such a mess!
I just seriously laughed out loud....go maglet with the world peace that is a crack up. She is a hoot! and the squash...your killin me girl. Funny funny funny. I used to play in that tournament, before I was old and washed up.
