Strawberry Shortcake with Buttermilk Biscuits

 This week has been a busy one with me not feeling so good Sunday, getting blood work done Tuesday, my dad's yearly testing on Tuesday, and I have a dentist app. Thursday.

• Also last Friday, I ended up dying my hair all dark, dark brown which took 2 years for me to convince my mom to let me do it by slowly dying more and more of my hair. A few people even thought I was a natural brunette. 
• Saturday I got my cartilage pierced for the 4th time (the first 3 closed), but this was the first time I got it done professionally.
• Tuesday after coming back from the doctors I got my nose pierced! When it heals, I am going to have this ring.
• We found a little snake in the chicken coop who had eaten Red's egg, but he got away before we could grab him. We found him and released it out into the field, hoping he won't return.

  We got a big box of strawberries from the co-op so I decided to make strawberry shortcakes, but with homemade buttermilk biscuits and whipped cream. You could use the store bought cakes that have the indention to fill with fruit and whip cream, but making it yourself tastes a lot better and it isn't as hard or time consuming as some may think.

  You could even skip making the biscuits & just make a dessert out of the strawberries and whipped cream.

Strawberry Lemonade

My cousin is having a girl. Yay!
The baby blanket is coming along  nicely. Im starting to think up with new ideas on for my next few projects. One thing I really want to make is a cowl. And then Pinterest comes up with things like this, this is cute!, or this cute owl and I become completely addicted.

Slikey wanted to see what I was doing.

Today we discovered that my pup, Oddball (who will turn 1 on the 13th) is a thief.
Sometimes, he or his mom, Marley will go over to the neighbor's house and bring us their newspaper- if only we could teach them to take it to the neighbor's back door instead.
Well, today, they didn't steal the newspaper.
Instead, Oddball jumped in the neighbor's back yard were they keep their dog, Banjo, grabbed his stuffed toy, and jumped back over the fence and ran to our back porch. Our dogs generally run free, but our neighbors keep Banjo in a backyard with a fence that is about 5 feet high.
Here is a little info to help ya'll understand more:
Banjo was dropped off in front of our neighbor's property before we moved nexed door, and was very afriad of people, even our neighbors. Well, we have coyotes in the back of our property and one night they attacked Banjo, making him have to go to the vet, and stay inside the house for a few weeks to recover. And ever since then he has to stay in his yard. The coyotes have never attacked our dogs, I think because we have so many. Also when we had Chubby, our large male, he would be on a chain at night and would bark all night long. Well, come to find out in the morning the coyotes had brought some dead rabbits and left them about 5 feet from the end of Chubby's line. I guess like a peace treaty.

and back to the story...
When my dad came in the house to show me, Oddball followed loyaly and sat down thinking that dad was going to give him the toy. Well, I kept Oddball in the house while dad went over to give Banjo back his toy.


Okay. Now lets talk about this drink......

Chocolate covered Strawberries

Today's post is going to be short.
I know I haven't been posting as much as I use to and Im still trying to get back into it.
Today I had an appointment with another Rheumatologist (we are switching doctors), had more blood tests run, and had a untrasound to check my liver.
And then I had a couple of tests and quizes for school to complete.
So, i'm now really feeling up to writing a long post.

Anyway, last weekend my mom bough 4 cartons of strawberries and I decided that I haven't made chocolate-covered strawberries in a long time and plus its getting close to valentine's day (even though it doesn't mean anything to me, but this is a simple and delicious dessert that everyone enjoys). Plus, my mom's birthday is this weekend so I'll be making another batch of these for then.

Stuffed Strawberries

 

This summer, my mom has gone alittle strawberry crazy- she buys them ALL of the time! When we go to the farmers' markets, she will buy the biggest container and then buy another in 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I love strawberries, but I am gonna get burnt out of them soon. We froze most of the strawberries for
