BFP Hopefuls! (October BFP Hopefuls!)

[squeal]

I finally got the darn avitar/picture to work! yay. I half expected that gorilla to say " oy!!" it was the greatest thing ever...He just sat there and kept doing diffrent things with his hands and posing for pictures

Is that in Florida?

I know there will be a lot of gorillas in enclosures like that but I just saw the picture and it reminded me of the gorllia in Florida at Disney World.

Ahh, they would love it. Hopefully if I ever manage to get a BFP or two, I will take my children there when they're older too.

It just cost sooooo much now a days. Just to go to OK with plane and hotel it was about 2K for about 5 days. I dont even want to know what florida would be lol

Good day girls! I have a few minutes before I submerge myself in blissful baking (it's barely noon and it's been a hellish AF day) so I thought I'd share a recipe or two.


My first is Coconut Custard Pie. It was super easy to make and turned out delicious when I made it a few days ago.
Mine looked like this:

https://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa20/KatieWriter/Picture1517.jpg

1 C sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter
1 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
6 oz. Coconut

Just mix all of the ingredients together and blend really well. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until crust is brown and custard is firm.

I like to sprinkle any remaining coconut over the top of the pie. Let pie cool then chill.


For anyone who likes to make their own pie crust (like me!) this is my favorite recipe:

Double Pie Crust:

https://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa20/KatieWriter/Picture1509.jpg

2 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tbsp chilled butter
1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortning (or an extra 1/2 stick of butter)
4 tbsp ice water

Whisk flour and salt in a large bowl. Add sliced butter and shortening and rub it in with fingers until it turns into a coarse meal. Sprinkle with 3 tbsp of water, add more if too dry.

Gather dough into ball and divide in half. Flatten into disks and put into the fridge to cool for an hour.

Take out, roll again to measurements and follow pie recipe for baking instructions.

(Sorry that the pics are big - dunno how to make them any smaller!)

[luckysnow]

Can I pop in on this thread? I am new to this site although am very active on another one. I have a DD who turned one last month & have been TTC since April, but have an LPD that I take Vitex & B6 to try to fix. This is our 4th full cycle TTC (not including waiting for PP AF). DD took 6 cycles to conceive, so I'm not toooooo disappointed as of yet
