The Buttercreme Baker

Say Cream Cheese

I decided to do something a little different tonight for Breakfast Night. Because let's face it, doing this every week can get old if you're not careful. Needing an excuse to try out some more of my Wildtree products, I opened a bottle of the Grapeseed Oil and used it in my newly created recipe for Spicy Oven Fries. They are very simple to make and puts store-bought to shame.

I absolutely love Yukon Gold; their texture is like no other potato.

Chopped pecans on my lovely Wildtree cutting board (it's really sturdy glass). Did I mention how much I love the new camera? It really shows outstanding definition.

The finished product

Thanks to everyone for all of the wonderful words of encouragement. And special thanks to Marv Meyers of the UK for his flattering compliments.

2 t Cajun Seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toss potato wedges with the Grapeseed Oil and then sprinkle liberally with the Cajun Seasoning.

    Place potato wedges onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

 

New Camera

John got a new camera for the hotel, the Canon Rebel XTi and it is awesome! Seriously, it is idiot proof, it is almost impossible to take a bad photo with it. Recently, I've been debating whether or not to get a new camera; I have a Fuji Finepix A101. The Fuji is a dinosaur compared to this one at seven years old but, I absolutely love it. However, the Rebel is pure perfection.

I was so excited; I started shooting pictures randomly around the house.

Still honing my photog skills

Forgive me for this one-I was trying to figure out the zoom lens

There, all better

John made a lot of progress with the pathway this afternoon.

Madelyn…such a good helper.

Hopefully, we will be finished in the next couple of weeks. Boy, this is harder than I realized.
