Reach For The Sky Woody and Jesse

YAY! I completed the kids costumes. Woody and Jesse turned out to be pretty easy to make. A pair of jeans, a couple thrift store finds, and some fabric. I just loosly stitched the faux cow hide to a vest for Woody and a pair of jeans for Jesse. For Jesse’s shirt, I fabri-tacked the cording and the satin ribbon for the sleeves. The kids are so happy with their costumes that mom made.

See my previous post for the holsters.

They're bob, bob, bobbing for apples

-Tip- Roasting Pumpkins for Pie

Start by washing the pie pumpkin (a great variety for pies is Baby Pam) and then break off the stem and hack it in half.  Then scoop out the seeds.  Fill a 13×9″ pan with 1/4″ water.  Place pumpkins skin side up and roast at 400 degrees until very tender… This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Scoop the soft flesh from the skins and puree in a food processor with desired spices.  Use in the same porportions for pie as with a canned recipe.

Taste the difference!

Avocado Dip

Easy-n-Yummy Avocado Dip

I think that these ingredients bring out the essence of the avocado. Of course it's great with fresh tortilla chips.

• fresh ripe avocado


• juicy lemon


• sea salt


• fresh cracked pepper


• canned diced mild green chili peppers

Chop, sprinkle, juice and mix to taste.
