Learn Something New Every Day. (Coffee)

Today I am going to tell you about something very near and dear to my heart...  Coffee.  Getting to make coffee for church in the mornings every sunday has definitely given me a much greater appreciation for the drink and on top of that I just love coffee.  Only when bought pre-made though I don't do the whole, coffee at home thing, unfortunately for my wallet.  


I am going to dedicate this post to Shay, because she just loves coffee.  I also dedicate it to Josh S.  Because I am so sorry that my brother handed you that first cup, hopefully someday you will be able to loose yourself from  it's evil bonds, I have hope you will return to your former happy self that you were before you tasted the stuff. 

1. Caffeine Can Kill You
But you'd have to drink 80 to 100 cups in a hurry, health experts say. I advise not trying.


2. Coffee is actually the second most widely-traded commodity in the world, behind oil.


3. Decaffeinated coffee sales are at their highest in January of each year, partially due to New Year's resolutions.


4. While coffee is best known as a beverage  of choice, coffee also can be used as a moisturizer and fertilizer, among other unconventional uses.


5. One coffee tree yields only about one pound of roasted coffee each year.  Which would explain why it is so expensive,


6. Coffee can lift your mood, make you happier, and make you feel better. It alleviates depression.

7. Coffee can protect your teeth from cavities.

8. Coffee can be used to dye paper and fabrics. If you put the beans in hot water their colour will start to come out. You can use that water to dye fibres.

I hope you enjoyed these few tidbits of info.  Merry Christmas Everyone!  (just pretend that you can see me waving...  OK?)

Love,

Han

Do I Really?

As I sit here applying my red lipstick for no particular reason, wishing for a cup of tea (yes in a tea cup :)), coloring on a tee-shirt, and listening to Sara Bareilles.  A thought...  A question actually, occurred to me, one that has frequented my frontal lobe quite a few times during my very extended stay on this planet we call earth...

The question is...  Do I look like my mother?

 I have never thought that I really looked like my mom really at all, I had always thought that I looked more like my great grandma.  So, to settle a long disputed argument, please help me decide who I look more like.

(I did them all in black and white because the oldest one was in black and white so I couldn't really change it.)

Me.

My Great Grandmother

My Mother.

Tea Tastes So Much Better When...

You drink out of something cute, right?

Which is why I drink out of.....

Tea Cups.

Yes, every once in a while I like the comforting feeling of a mug in my hand on a cold winter night.

But...

 Most of the time I love the sophistication of a tea cup in my hand.  The rattle of china as you set your cup back down on your saucer....  It is just so romantic.  Why don't we drink out of these anymore?  I miss them.  We should make a tea cup come back.

I mean think about it.  They look so lonely and sad sitting up on that shelf getting all dusty.  Crying out for someone to use them more than just once  a year.  It's so sad.

And there ends my tea cup reverie.  Will they ever be used again in our everyday normal routine?...

I don't know...

Love a very confused and bewildered,
HAnNahW

White Christmas.

........Is awesome.......

Soooo, I love this movie.  One of my all time fav's.  Seriously Who wouldn't like this movie?  If you haven't seen this movie go, just do it, right now, please!  Ok, yes there are some scenes where a couple girls aren't wearing the most modest things but overall this movie is soooooo...  sweet.  :)  I've already watched it three times this fall.  You know that I'm getting itchy for the christmas season when the only movie that I want to watch is this one.  :) 

 I love old musicals.  I can live without the new ones.  They are usually stupid and just poorly done.

Sisters... Heeheehee

One of my favorite songs ever.  Oh, and see the guy on the left?  Yup that one.  He is one of my ALL TIME favorite actors.  He cracks me up.  :)

Anyway just thought I would do a very random post about my favorite christmas movie.  Even though as my very intelligent older brother just told me....  It't not even christmas yet...  Oh, and he says that I have to link to his blog since I mentioned his name so here is the link.  click here! :)

Love,

Redness.

If you know me, you should know by now that I have a thing for the color red...  Not that red is my favorite color or anything it's just that I seem to wear quite a few red things, just because it's fun.  To name a few...

Red Lipstick

Red Jacket.

Red Glasses.
That, I might add, made everything blurry.

and the most recent item that made it's debut in my wardrobe on sunday, was red boots!  I have been wanting boots for quite some time now, so I was super excited when my dad asked me if I wanted these.  

This is the next red thing on my wish list.  Isn't it cute?  I totally love it!

An Autumn Walk.

I love taking walks in the fall when all the leaves are falling and everything is so beautiful and crisp.  Which is why my sisters, mother and I did this the other day.  I had so much fun, and hope we can have many more walks like this.  :)  Some of the funnest times that I can remember have been of me just going on walks with family and friends.

Ready to embark.

And go.

My beautiful mother and sister Keziah. :)

Yup a fence post.  :)

Do you see this grove of trees?  Yes, this one.  I'm afraid to walk through there at night because I'm afraid Owls will swoop down and carry me away....  Do you think that this is a rational fear?
"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."  ~Psalm 23:4~

Me Mater.

Naomi.  You are so beautiful.  :)

                                                   

                                                                Esther...  You look so pretty with your contacts in:)

Naomi wanted me to take a picture of her boot.  So I did.  :)

Keziah was the official baby carrier.  :)

Sisters.  I am so jealous of girls that have a sister that is pretty close to them in age.  I would love my sister to be my best friend...  I guess having a brother as a best friend is just as good.  But still, guys just don't get some things.  :)

He was telling me about the leaf.  :)

She got quite a bushel.  

It was Israels' idea to put all the leaves together.  I think it was a nice touch, don't you?.  Hehe.   :)

Walking back.  

Ahha.  There she is.  :)  I finally got a picture of her.  I think that this picture of her is so cute.  :)

She was tired from carrying that baby everywhere.  Now she knows how mom feels when 9 months pregnant I guess.

(from front to back: Lydia, Israel, Mom, Naomi)  It was also Israels' idea to put all the leaves out.  He is so cute.  

(From front to back: Lydia, Israel, Mom, Naomi, Justice, Keziah, Esther.)

Ok, LOVE this picture of her.  Her blue eyes really stand out........Wait.....  I thought that her eyes were green?  They are green,  that's weird....  Oh well, it looks cool anyway.   

 We had a great time collecting leaves, laughing, chatting, and just being girls. (sorry Israel, I know you're not a girl but you were with the girls.  :)  I am looking forward to our next walk!  Hopeful there will be snow soon!  (I love snow!)  :)

Love Ya!

Muffin Madness.

Last saturday my mom and dad took a trip down to....Corvallis?  I think it was Corvallis anyway.  Well that's beside the point, the point is that they went somewhere and did something and left us poor children at home.  :'(  So, my parents went somewhere and I had to make muffins for church the next morning.  They were really yummy so I thought that I would share some of the pictures of me making them, and the recipe just because they were super yummy, righteous mama muffins.  :)


Nutmeg Streusel Muffins:
Streusel Mixture:
11/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened

Muffins:
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
11/2 tsp. baking powder
11/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. buttermilk
1 egg

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In large bowl combine 11/3 c. flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.  Reserve 1/2 c. for streusel topping.  In same bowl add all muffin ingredients to streusel mixture. Stir just until moistened.  Spoon into greased 12 c, muffin pan.  Sprinkle with reserved streusel mixture.  Bake for 18 to 22 min. or until lightly browned.  Let stand 5 min.; remove from pan and enjoy!  :)

Pre-oven look.

Sadly my first batch came out looking quite deflated...  Sadness.  But they still tasted yummy!

Seth and I were joking around while we were waiting for the other batch to cook.

He was laughing at all my stupid jokes.  I like it when people do that, unfortunately I'm not very funny so it doesn't happen that often.  haha.  :)

Does anyone else think that this picture looks creepy?

The deflated ones.

Fortunately all the batches after my first one looked PER-fect.  I was so happy!  :)

Hope you guys are having a great day!  God Bless!
