someday lift me to Heaven

As long as you're going to think anyway, think big

HAPPY WEDNESDAY !
OVER THE HUMP DAY !
The painter was a no show on Tuesday, hopefully we'll see him today and hopefully the rain will hold off for a couple more days. This old house may never get painted at this rate. Either it's raining or he's a no show...a no win situation. On the happier side of things here we are the middle of the week - over the hump and sliding into the weekend. This Saturday is the wedding shower for DDIL#62B - so exciting !!! I'll be going with DDIL # 1 , our Princess and DDIL #5. ( I think that's the plan)
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...TAPIOCA PUDDING DAY !
Tapioca is the starch from a cassava root. It can be used as a food, in bread or as a thickening agent in puddings, soups or juicy pies. Cassava plants are native to the West Indies and South America. As the plant was introduced to other parts of the world, tapioca became a big hit with cooks everywhere.
CHOCOLATE TAPIOCA PUDDING
2 cups milk
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the milk, honey and tapioca. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to cook and stir for 3 more minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Add the chocolate morsels and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Serve warm or cold.
