Amazing (mostly) offline week
Just got back from about a week out in Sunriver, Or; limited internet, cabin on the Deschutes River, floating dock and lots of sun.
Was a great way to recharge, relax away some stress, and get to somewhere I had not been before.
If your looking for a cabin rentel in or near Bend / Sunriver, Or check out www.bendcabin.com and go and enjoy the quiet.
Pictures to come (probably on Facebook)
Time for a road trip – Sunriver
Just a quick note (to whoever) that I am headed to Sunriver this next week.
After 10 years of living up in the NW will finally get a chance to see what everyone else is talking about.
Headed to www.bendcabin.com with a hot tub, river view, and sun.
Cannot wait to decompress, and work on an interview presentation for when I return.
testing embed of a tweet
Not sure how I have missed this plugin but a great way to embed a tweet into your WP site
The tweet above was embedded using the search for a user (dswiese) and selecting the tweet I wanted.
I did try the copy and paste of the url into the default field, but did not work. Need to figure out if its WP, Twitter, or other conflict.

Shoe String Potato Candy
Quick post today on a great no-bake snack that you can quickly make and frankly, I would eat a whole batch at one time if I was allowed.
SHOE STRING POTATO CANDY
Melt a 6 (or 12 oz package) of butterscotch morsels with a heaping teaspoon (or 1 tablespoon) of peanut butter, stirring constantly.
Add one small can (or one large can) shoestring potatoes.
Mix well and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
Granny’s Fruit Cake
Getting into the Holiday season here, and well… I would never eat this. Not ever.
However its in my folder to blog about so here goes.
FRUIT CAKE
Made with Non-such Mince Meat (with brandy and rum)
- Spray tube pan with cooking spray.
- Sift together 1 1/2 cup flour and 1 tsp baking soda.
- Combine in a large bowl two slightly beaten eggs and 28 oz jar of mince meat
- one can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 2# mixed candied fruit
- Fold in dry ingredients. If batter is too stiff add 1/4 cup fruit juice, orange or grape is good.
- If the mince meat with brandy and rum is not available add 1 or 2 TBS flavoring.
- Pour into tube pan. Bake 2 hours in slow (300*) oven.
- Cool and turn out on cake plate. It is good ‘as is’, or decorate to suit your fancy.
