Skirts and Tapioca

The boys have been asking for tapioca pudding

 the last couple weeks.

I kept putting it off because we didn't have

the extra milk.

Last night, on the way home from church, I asked

my fella to stop at the Dandy so I could run in and pick

something up.

"What are you getting?" was asked from the back of the van.

"Milk," I answered, "for tapioca."

"Yeah!!!"  was shouted all across the van.

This morning, I got the crock pot out and started the pudding.

I have a recipe that is using a crock pot and it's super

easy.  You dump the stuff in, mix in eggs toward the end

and then it's done!

I also started sewing some skirts I had cut out.

I tend to cut all the fabric one day

and then sew  next.  These skirts were easy because I could

use white thread on all of them so I didn't have to keep switching

thread colors.  

I love all the fun spring colors!  It'll be here soon!

I got most of them sewn together and the waste bands in some.

I'll have to finish the wastes and then the zippers.

Ugh, five zippers!

Then hem and wait for spring.

The blue ones and green one on the left are all the same pattern.

It has 12 gores and they take some time sewing together

and then sewing the seam down. 

I have a couple of skirts from this pattern that I did

last year.  They're so comfortable!

I tend to grab them the most so I thought I should make a few more.

We enjoyed a yummy supper together and then the boys

dug into the tapioca!  I think the wait was worth it.

 CROCK POT TAPIOCA
2 qt milk
1 cup tapioca
1 cup sugar (I used raw sugar)
Mix these together in a crock pot.  Cook on high for 3 hours.

Beat 4 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
Take some hot mixture from crock pot, add to eggs and stir.
Pour back into crock pot. 
Cook for 20 minutes more or until thick.
Chill.  Although we can never wait that long, we eat it warm.

I also double this recipe and the time is alot longer too.
