Sophie Bean

baby showers!

Plum Apricot Puff Pastry Tart

1 (1-inch piece) vanilla bean, split lengthwise

1 tablespoon sugar

Pinch cinnamon

1 (1/2-pound) frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed

2 plums, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

2 fresh apricots, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

3 tablespoons apricot jam, melted, strained, and kept warm

Vanilla ice cream, as an accompaniment, if desired


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a knife into a small bowl, saving pod for another use, and stir in sugar and cinnamon.
On a lightly floured surface roll out pastry 1/8-inch thick and cut out 2 (6 by 5 1/2-inch) rectangles. Arrange pastry on a baking sheet and fold edges in on all sides to form 1/2-inch borders, leaving corners unfolded. Form points at corners by twisting ends and pressing them gently onto baking sheet. On pastry arrange plum and apricot slices, overlapping them slightly, in rows and sprinkle with sugar mixture.
Bake tarts in middle of oven until pastry is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool tarts on a rack and brush with jam. Serve tarts warm with ice cream.

I Made this for the baby shower. It looked like pepperoni and sweet potatoes, but it was sooooo good! I got the recipe from foodtv.com!

Anyway, nothing new, except susanne and i get to hang out tuesday with sophie-poo! Woo hoo!
I even changed her diaper last time... i'm so good :).

Shout out to prego Lo!!!!

I got to talk with sus for a few minutes today! It was 6pm there and 10am here!

She was at Lauren's friend'd Aunt's house in Spain.

Her name is Susie!

She and her husband run an acorn fed pig farm!

Sus and Chris ate some pork and said it was delish!

They rode horses to see the pig farm too!

They love hanging out with Susie b/c it's like home they said.

Sus and Chris are going to Seville tomorrow!

Then they are off to Pampaloma?

For the running of the bulls.... how cool are they?

I love my sister.

Also when she gets back, we are going to see the Indigo Girls!!!!! WOOT!

CAMERON COMES HOME TODAY!

pottery

well folks, begining wheel throwing 1 is a lot harder than i thought. i knew it was going to be hard, but not THIS hard! I made a bowl right off the bat and it was rather good if i do say so myself. but then my next thing just fell over on the wheel, and #3 went from a bowl to a plate to something all weird and squiggly!

I will go in for more practicar later.

Sus and chris are ar an acorn fed pig farm!

Lauren is getting so prego it is cute!

Dad leaves for Panama tomorrow.

Cam is in Norman with his family while I sit here and be jealous.

She's doing great, eating lots of food, buying painted seashells from little spanish kids at the beach, chris was making shooting noises on the phone to make me scared, they are going to lauren's friend's aunts pig farm tonight!!! They are excited and they wish they had more time in each place. the thing they miss the most about the states is: renting movies.

Sus posted a new post with pics and she and chris are so cute and travely!!!!

Mountain Biking!

This morning Cameron and I went mountain biking at Matthew Winters Park for my first lesson! It was really hard at first b/c there was a lot of "climbing" (that means going up hill). Once I got a hang of all my gears and all that jazz I was like a little pro! I even "climbed" a medium sized rock! Cameron said he was really proud of me too :). I didn't fall off ever, but I did have to jump off a lot before I was about to fall. It was fun and I will do it again next week!



Tomorrow I meet at Em's house for our trip to Boulder to rock climb! I can't wait!



I also have a little bone to pick with you all who read this. Just like my cousins Lauren and Lane have posted previously on their blogs.....


I notice people are reading this and not posting (to name a few: Laura Ann Haws Froese and Geneva Whitney....). They say they are just "not the message type" what ever that means. My mom and david even learned how to post a comment so they could show the love to their kids :). Thanks mom and david. My dad will leave an occasional post as well as my technilogically challenged aunt and uncle! So show the love people, let me know you read my blog! I have pretty much 3 faithful readers that I know of, and one I have never met.... (shout out to katie!!!).

Off to pay some dang bills. And maybe watch a movie! PS I went to the movies today with my friend punchface mcgee and we saw Waitress with Keri Russell (is it sad we only went b/c we are obsessed with Keri Russell aka Felicity)?

Sunday I got a new bike!

This is cam's bike. He got it when we moved here, but I never posted a pic.

It's a Rocky Mountain.

This is my new bike!!!! It's a Specialized Rockhopper!
Isn't it cute?

We got it on Craig's list from a guy in boulder (lane we missed you :( )
He lived off of 9th and I forgot what street.

Anyway, my bike got stolen in Norman over thanksgiving a couple years ago, (while i was letting cam use it), so then we got him a new bike (i still didnt have one), then when we moved out here, we bartered with the old bike to scott for starbucks coffee every week. then cam got the rocky mountain. i still didnt have one. so cam had the mountain bike and a borrowed road bike from dad, and none for me. THEN i finally got one!!!! (PS then scott quit starbucks, and we don't even get free coffee anymore).

We have ridden some trails by our house. Today was national ride your bike to work day and there was free breakfast and juices and cool stuff all over town... but did i work today? NO. so i didnt ride my bike. I will later when it cools down.

So i have been sick since i went to Oklahoma 3.5 weeks ago. I finally went to the doctor today b/c I was never getting better, and she gave me some abx.

Friday I am going rockclimbing with emily and some other peeps! Then later that night we will be making some sushi!!!!

Tuesday I start my pottery class!!!! WOO HOO!

AND MY COUSIN IS HAVING A BOY!!!!!! His name will be Randy Schatzel.... jk Lo.

YOU CAN'T STOP TEAM COBRA!!!!!!

ok, so I just tried to post...but I think I deleted everything...but I didn't write much so its ok. I know you're worried. I am Cameron, better known as Slamcake. I am gonna blog some things, so watch as follows. I changed liz's password, because I didn't know it. Don't tell her. It will be awesome for sure.

So I guess I should update everyone on our lives. Schnooze is on the couch being a dog. She pretty much sleeps and poops and barks at the occasional threat. Liz is at work, then we are gonna go hang out with the Extreme and Skull Mobley perhaps. I rode my bike to school today and got my sweaty back and butt all over the chairs in the clinic lounge while writing some notes...Man...blogging is a lot of work...I'm getting tired. I'm just gonna put up a picture that the Extreme took when I was trying to pee...its ok, its rated G. If you look closely you can see me, but like I said...no nasticore. It turns out there is a toilet about 20 feet away that I guess no one thought to tell me about. I saw it the next morning.

Here is a picture of Skull trying to bend metal to get a key out of his car. He almost got it, but then the locksmith decided to help him. dang locksmith's always helping people and stuff.

Here is the Exterme's leave me alone face:

Here is my much cooler shaky face face: (that is when you shake your face to be awesome and your cheeks flop about):


oh dang...It says no more pics...oh well. I'm kind of bored blogging anyways. I have some Old Testament things to read about and a schnauzer to kiss. Just imagine my face flopping all around.
Later blog readers,
I am going to do non-blog things now.
