It's 12:30am. Let's just say it's still Saturday night. I got home from work a little bit ago.
We have ash from Mt. Redoubt falling here in Palmer. A light coating so far. It's really fine and gritty. Itty bitty glass particles.
I heard South Anchorage had two inches as of earlier tonight, according to my boss who lives there.
We are supposed to get a lot more tonight and tomorrow. We'll see.
UPDATE: We didn't get any more ash like they predicted. Whew!

Beans and Cornbread UPDATE!!
Well, I turned the heat up under my beans and after a while they were ready. I seasoned them and voila! My husband said they were yummmmmyyy! I tried them and had to agree. And he asked me to package some up for his lunch tomorrow.
I am so excited they turned out fine and tasty to boot!
I am heartened!

Beans and Cornbread
I don't cook. I panic when I cook. My wonderful husband does most of the cooking.
But Pioneer Woman (a blog I'm addicted to) has been inspiring me. Tonight, I decided to make a recipe from her cooking blog....beans. They look so good in her pictures. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/08/beans_and_cornb/
I'm into it 2 hours on what I thought was simmer. But maybe it was too low, cuz it certainly doesn't look like PWs. Looks like I put too much water in also, though I measured the water above the beans. Just an itty bit over 2 inches. (How my husband would laugh; he never measures anything...grrrr!)
Ok, my husband just told me a simmer is a wee baby boil (my words). I had the burner on low....no wonder....they still have a ways to go. Hope they'll be ok after hours and hours of cooking.
Told you I'm not a cook.
But I promise to keep trying.
P.S. The cornbread turned out yummy. It's the recipe on the Bob's Red Mill cornmeal pkg.

New Blog - Kat's Meeeooows
I've decided to start a blog.
Don't know what it will contain yet. Maybe just bits and pieces of things. Pictures. Thoughts. Rememberances of the past. Funny stuff. Who knows!
It'll probably be quite eclectic, because that's pretty much what and who I am.
