A Gift from Puff!


Our elf Puff left the kids this "chocolaty candy". It does contain traces of cocoa....but not enough to be deemed chocolate!

Elle's Halloween Pumpkin Kitty


Elle made a pumpkin kitty last year that was a hit!  Until she dropped it and her tail (the stem) broke off!

M&M's Jump the Shark on this one!

Strawberry Nut doesn't even sound good.  I was tempted by the Lemon Fudge Stripes featuring Despicable Me 3 in the background and they were quite good.

The Great American Eclipse


This was the "money shot" from Gainesville, FL. 86% of totality. Somewhat underwhelming all in all....

Hello Kitty!


Make me some ice cream please!   We finally tried making ice cream in Elle's Hello Kitty ice cream maker.  It never froze but made for a great shake.  There mistake was hours as the bowl was supposed to be in the freezer a few 12 hours prior to the big churn.  We'll try again this weekend!

The Famous "Stevenson" Banana Bread

Here's the famous banana bread recipe passed down through the Stevenson family to it's current resting spot in the Tangeman family.  This recipe yields some of the best banana bread you'll ever eat!  Steph laments the middle of the bread will sometimes collapse but in my view that's the secret goodness.  Moist, flavorful and basically the best way to rid yourself of 2-3 browning bananas!

My Spider Web - A Poem by Jack Tangeman

My Spider Web

My spider web is a work of art.

You know, we spiders are pretty smart.

My spider web is pretty.

My spider web is STRONG!

My spider web catches bugs.

My spider web is BIG!

If my spider web gets ripped apart,

I work and make more art!

Falling Colors - A Poem by Jack Tangeman

Falling Colors

Leaves as red as cherries are twirling down.

Leaves as orange as fire a whirling down.

Leaves as yellow as the sun are swirling down.

Then all the colors turn crunchy brown.
