Which job would you choose?
Dad decided a very short time ago, that he wanted to widen the door that goes into our basement so he asked our mason friend for help.
And we can't very well leave this huge hole in our house for just anyone or anything to sashay inside, so doors need to be built. Dad is getting there with lots of help from us!
Meanwhile, mom was in the kitchen preparing manicotti and for dessert, our Nonna's rice pie. If you want the recipe, go here and you can see angel Maggie helping mom make it☺
We decided to help dad out in the workshop so we missed sampling all of the yummy ingredients that went into the manicotti and into the rice pie.
But mom made it up to us. Yes, we did get a forkful of manicotti and a forkful of rice pie and we were very happy Dales!We hope your Easter was as yummy as ours was!
Love ya lots♥

Ohhhh that is gonna be a really nice door and such a conveniences too.
ReplyDeleteOH MY 'DALES would you two like to have a kitty sib? If so, I'm heading up your way. Save me some manicotti I love cheese and that rice pie looks out of this world yummy. Mom saw the links to the recipe this time she's on her second cup of coffee and wide awake.
Hugs madi your bfff
Ahhhhhhhhhhh Maggie was helping with the rice pie on the link..what a precious memory.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi your bfff
PS sorry maybe mom needs another cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments on my header. That is this year's picture of our Easter Red Bud in bloom
Hugs madi your bfff and her loopy mom
Oh my goodness, both the manicotti and the pie look super yummy. Glad you were able to have a little taste!
ReplyDeleteThey make great bunnies. Did you get the doors finished. I'm sure the guard dogs took care of any sashayer's!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over meeting my little duck family. This is the 3rd spring we've seen them. I'm not sure they are actually nesting here. Maybe only honeymooning. They are here about 2 weeks and then we don't see them anymore. I've seen them more this year. Never have the camera ready though. I'm thinking I need to keep it in the entrance hall instead of upstairs. Well have a good week. See you soon.
XXOO
THAT is gonna be a GRAND ENTRANCE to your Basement...
ReplyDeleteOMD OMD We have never heard of RICE PIE...
Unless my Dad was building a fully stocked kitchen, I would never leave a kitchen where there was cooking being done. BOL! *ear licks* Noodle
ReplyDeleteWe are sure that no food can be cooked to completion at our house without dogs in attendance.
ReplyDeleteWe would probably chosen to help with the yum yums! We tend to shy away from anything Dad might be trying to fix since the Great Door Debacle a few years ago. Too scary for us with the power tools and banging and yelling!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice Easter!
I think I would go where the food is at...im just sayin....

That bigger door will make it a lot easier to bring big items in and out for sure. We think we might have stayed in the kitchen with Mom and hoped for some crumbs to fall on the floor. We love helping with the cleanup.

Your Mom's cooking looks yummy! We know where we'd be! Ros and Oscar x
ReplyDeleteBeing good little helpers paid off in the end
ReplyDeleteHelp mom! Help mom
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Those desserts look absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tough decision! I think I would have opted to help your mom in the kitchen! We're glad she saved a taste for you both!
ReplyDeleteCammie!
We go with wherever the food is!

ReplyDeleteWe can't believe you were helping your dad when you could have been in the kitchen! We're glad you at least got some treats in the end.
