Butterfly Eyes and Gazing Ball




Backlit Gazing Ball



October Butterfly



The weather is strange this year in Edmond, Oklahoma. Last week the temp reached a high of 87d. Tomorrow morning it will drop to 29d. I took the pic of the butterfly with the strange markings that look like eyes, at least to me, today near my office. I took the pic of the gazing ball this week when I noticed how radiant it was when backlit by the sun.

Mavis' RC Soft Custard - a weekend recipe

Here’s a recipe my mom used to make for my brother Jack and me. We both loved RC’s. Growing up without air-conditioning in hot and humid Louisiana, the custard hit the spot on a hot summer’s day. The recipe came from a cookbook she had called Favorite Recipes, compiled by the Pilot Club of Shreveport. Many of the recipes were attributed to someone. This one was not.

Ingredients 

·         1 bottle Royal Crown cola

·         2 eggs

·         2 Tbsp. sugar

·         1/8 tsp. salt

Directions 

Add sugar and salt to eggs and beat. Add the bottle of Royal Crown cola and cook over hot water until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Pour into custard cups and chill in refrigerator until set. Serve and enjoy.
