Thursday, August 15, 2002 ( 11:09 PM ) MB I've been on vacation from work this past week...so why am I so tired? We went to the Louisville Zoo on Saturday. The kids got to play on some inflatable games (Soccer Shootout, Obstacle Course, Football Field Goal, and one where they tried to knock each other down with things that looked like giant dumbbells). We also took a ride on Morphis. It's a small movie theater that moves. You enter through gull-wing doors, then sit and watch a movie while the ride moves along with the pictures. The movie we picked was "Swimming With Dolphins". We also saw a few animals while we were there. We visited the Louisville Science Center and IMAX Theater. The movie at the IMAX was Ocean Oasis and featured the ocean life around Baja California. It must have been our week for fishy movies. (I know dolphins aren't fish, but there were fish in that movie too.) The state fair opened today and we visited that also. We rode some rides, checked out the booths inside, ate junk food, and played a few games. We won some goldfish (again with the fish!)...I have no idea where we are going to put them...but my cats have an idea of where they could go, I bet. Since I'm still in a "fair" mood, here's a Funnel Cake recipe: 1 cup flour 3/4 cup milk 1 tsp. baking powder 1/8 tsp. salt 1 egg powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar vegetable oil for frying 1/2" spout funnel Heat about 1" of oil in a 12" skillet to 375 degrees. Mix flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and egg with a fork. Hold finger over the spout of the funnel and pour 1/4 cup of batter into the funnel. Hold over hot oil, remove finger from spout, and let batter pour into the oil while moving the funnel in a 6" spiral pattern. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain well on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot. At least it wasn't a fish recipe. JoeAnt is again accepting Website submissions but we won't be adding them to the directory for a few more days. We don't have all the editor functions available yet. Still, it's a good time to submit a site and get it near the top of the queue for when we are able to add them again. Permalink |
