An Amazing Autumn.....
Autumn is my favorite season! I live in Washington and I actually love the rain! I know I'm weird but I love walking in the pouring rain! It is so refreshing and rejuvenating! One of my very favorite things in the fall is driving in the afternoon when the sun just reflects the brown, red, and orange colored leaves, leaving a warm glow on everything. You roll down the window to a fresh, crispy breeze. So nice!! Well, this fall has been rainy, but today the sun broke through and made a lovely day for the kids to rake leaves. Dylan didn't do much raking but he sure did love the leaves!

School Update.....
I've been off in the world of business math for the last hour! Wow! My brain is exhausted! I'm seeing SOTD- n x (n+1) / 2 when I close my eyes! I'm learning all about loans and interest! Very interesting! If some one takes a loan out at 7.2% if you make installments instead of paying it all off, you are actually paying 14.4 %! Interesting huh? Well, enough about math!
I made my first Informative speech on Monday, Nov 1st, which was All Saint's Day. Which was very appropriate seeing I did my speech on the great Reformer, Martin Luther. Exactly 493 years and one day before this, Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five thesis on the church door in Whittenburg, Germany. This type of speech is strictly factual and can in no way be persuasive.It went very well! I'm learning out to outline speeches and analyses my audience. You need to know who will be listening to your speech so that you focus your speech toward that group of people. I'll let you know my score when I get my grade! The whole class analysed each speech.
In my sanitation class we are learning how to do a health inspection. My chef, walked us through the school cafeteria today and showed us how to go about doing a health inspection. It was very enlightening. School has been hectic but fun!

Fantastic Fall recipe #2......
When I think of fall dinners, I think of delicious, comforting soups, chowders and stews. And when I think of soups, chowder, and stews and I can't help but think of homemade, flaky, warm buttery rolls! So here is a recipe for one of my favorite rolls, Parker house rolls. I like to brush them with butter and sprinkle sea salt on top before I bake them.
Parker House RollsIngredients
¾ cups water (warm)
¼ cup butter, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup sugar
1 TBS. Yeast
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Heat water till warm, stir in the butter and sugar and Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until foamy. Combine water mixture, eggs, salt, and 1/2 of the flour and mix until smooth. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until a smooth. Remove from the bowl and knead by hand on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. On a floured surface, punch down the dough and shape into desired shapes. Cover again and let rise until doubled.
Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Brush with melted butter and Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
