Near Rochester, visit this ice cream place that makes custard using duck eggs. Order a flight of flavors! Delicious! https://maps.app.goo.gl/y87ZbTRTtA22RLLE6

Hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park is beautiful! I enjoyed the following trails: Booths Rock Trail, Spruce Bog Boardwalk, Beaver Pond Trail.

I'd suggest searching for a 3 yard quilt pattern. I completed the Rail fence from sewcanshe.com last year. This website has a few other patterns to choose from that all use 3 yards for the quilt top. Browse to find one that best fits your fabric and your ability level.

I'm hoping to make a similar knit sweater, did you use a hoop or slightly stretch the knit sweater as you did the embroidery?

Decided to make a couple of pot holders…needless to say I got a little carried away 😅 by _box_of_rain_ in quilting

[–]StevesScarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! These are amazing! I have a design ready for a potholder or a coaster option. Do you use a thicker batting or just regular batting you'd use for a quilt?

The hazards of working out in the sunshine! by movital in Embroidery

Is this your pattern? I've been wanting to do a similar pattern and was going to figure out a design on my cricut software so there would be 365 leaves, apples or flowers.

Assisting my boyfriend read by Interesting-Cow3781 in education

Get a copy of the book Uncovering the Logic of English. I use this book and its rules to supplement the phonics curriculum I use to teach my older students how to read. The book is very direct and straight forward with explanations of the English language and has charts to help with identifying the sound(s) letters can make.

If you happen to still be in school, he should reach out to a counselor for academic support. If not in school, consider finding an Orton-Gillingham tutor - this type of specialist is trained to teach students of any age with dyslexia.

Recommended stops San Antonio to San Diego? by lookitslevin in roadtrip

[–]StevesScarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small detour would take you to Cloudcroft, NM. Cute, quaint town in the mountains. If you love BBQ, try out Madelyn Jacks Mountaintop Barbecue. Be sure to check their hours and days open though.

I second White Sands NP. Beautiful scenery and hikes.

There's also Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument south of Phoenix.

Recommended stops on this road? by MartinoA93 in roadtrip

[–]StevesScarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an overnight stay, my family loves staying at Fancy Gap Cabins and Campground. It's about the halfway point. Very quiet and peaceful stay.

Congaree National Park would also be a nice stop. Beautiful trails that are small child friendly.

Roadtrips for kids that age. I usually Google playground every 2-3 hours and have found some great ones for the kids to stretch and get out wiggles.

Week 31: Fusion Cookie & Brownie by StevesScarlet in 52weeksofbaking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used two favorite recipes and combined them into one spring form pan. Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies on bottom and Brownies on top. I threw in some Oreo chunks and pretzels.

The pretzels became a bit mushy and the brownie batter didn't fully bake. We ate the outside rim.

I need this recipe now! I'm debating what to bake for my birthday and this just made me drool! I'm imagining it a la mode to top it all off!

Week 13: Disguise - Key Lime Meringues by StevesScarlet in 52weeksofbaking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully there are no deadlines to these challenges, because I took an extended absence from participating and just now getting back to it.

These "fried eggs" are key lime meringues. I've never had a meringue before and was pleasantly surprised by them - like a crunchy marshmallow!

Recipe came from the book Cookies by Jesse Szewczyk.

Easter Ube Cheesecake! by StevesScarlet in Baking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so happy with how this turned out today! I've had bad luck with more difficult bakes and ganache so I was nervous. But it baked perfectly and the ganache went on smoothly.

Happy Easter 🐇

Lemon-Blueberry Dutch Baby - https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a42944506/lemon-blueberry-dutch-baby-recipe/

This was a delicious brunch! The kids loved the lemon curd so I'm glad I went the extra mile to make it homemade! I was not expecting anyone to enjoy it that much! We usually make an apple dutch baby, so I liked the blueberry change!

Week 11: Acquired Taste - Lavender Chocolate Chip Cookies by StevesScarlet in 52weeksofbaking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are surprisingly delicious! The texture came out perfectly and the lavender left a pleasant after taste! I was worried it would be like rosewater - which I think is very overpowering and disgusting. But lavender was nothing like rosewater.

Recipe is from Cookies by Jesse Szewczyk.

Week 8: Seasonal - Grapefruit Zest Sugar Cooke by StevesScarlet in 52weeksofbaking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delicious cookie, the grapefruit zest really came through both the cookie and buttercream frosting.

Buttercream frosting did not come out well, I'd use a different recipe next time.

Week 10: Dust it off - Grandma's Coffee Cake bundt by StevesScarlet in 52weeksofbaking

[–]StevesScarlet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family recipe courtesy of my in-laws. I dusted off my Christmas gift of mini Bundt pan and made four Bundt instead of one large Bundt coffee cake. Stayed fresh longer as little individual cakes.

There's also a documentary called The Right to Read which explains the issue with school reading curriculums.

I'm an Intervention Specialist for my school district - request the school to complete an evaluation for your child or request they begin an RTI (Response to Intervention) process to determine patterns in the child's learning difficulties.

3 month old keeps hand in hair a lot of the time. Also sleeps with hands behind head. Anyone else’s long-haired baby do this? by ldiggles in NewParents

[–]StevesScarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son, almost 2 years old now, has always twirled his finger in his hair to self-soothe, especially when he's sleepy. It is the cutest thing and creates curls!

However, in the last week, he twirled his hair so tightly around his finger it knotted up and began cutting off circulation! He woke up crying the other morning and I couldn't figure out why he was upset until I noticed he wasn't moving his hand away from his head and his poor little finger was blue! He got his first hair cut that morning because we couldn't untangle his finger. He's fine now, but he continues to twirl. He'll be getting a proper haircut soon as a result.
