Navajo Fry Bread

My friend Susan had made a comment yesterday that she made Navajo Fry Bread. I sent her a message and asked if she would be kind enough to share the recipe. She kindly agreed. The thought of that brought back memories of going to the reservation while on vacation in Taos, New Mexico and visiting my great aunt Lydia.

Today, I thought it would be a fun thing to make to accompany dinner. I did and served some turkey shepperd's pie. Oh my goodness, you would have thought that I served Justin and Michael gold. They loved it! Justin asked why I never made it before. Hard to do when you do not have a recipe. I now have to make another batch and serve it with honey butter. That is how I remember it as a kid. Thanks Susan for sharing the recipe. I have found a new favorite for my family. Yummy! Once I get a rolling pin I will try to make them so that we can have tacos made of them and maybe I can modify the recipe to use corn/potato flour so my cousin can make them for her family.

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas!

We have had such a great holiday. We have been blessed with about 12 " of snow. We were not really able to get out from last Thursday (12/18) until Tuesday (12/22) because we have had so much snow and cold temperatures. We only yesterday were above 32 degrees in over a week.

This is out our back door and we had a good amount of snow. There is a creek that runs right behind us and we have had to chase off 3 racoons. See for yourself....

We can leave no food out for our strays that have adopted us. We have three kitties that come to visit us and sleep outside and we have named them Pirate, Calico and Smokey. Pirate always has it's tongue stuck out. We have Sylvester and Shadow looking out at them and they watch Sylvester and Shadow inside.....Kitty TV.

Here is Calico (above)

We are so grateful that we are happy and healthy this year. We look forward to hearing from everyone more often this next year.

We hope that everyone has a very enjoyable Christmas day. Let us hear from you.
