Bob got a chance to cook in a fancy kitchen (at his Mom's) Saturday night. Chicken and Pork fried rice. A new Musselman Family favorite.

Blueberry picking and cooking

Had a great time picking blueberries this past weekend at the Blueribbon Berry Farms in Williston, FL.

And had an even better time eating Bob's yummy blueberry cobbler!

Creme Brulee AND Oatmeal Cookies

Tonight Bob really upped the ante and made two desserts. Creme Brulee and Oatmeal Cookies. But he didn't just make one batch of oatmeal cookies, because with six children, everyone has their own preferences. So, for Joey, he made oatmeal raisin, for John, Will, Mary and Kate he made oatmeal chocolate chip and for me, he made oatmeal pecan. Yum!

Bob's Chocolate Cream Pie

About a month ago, Bob and I started doing a parenting segment on the radio. It was during Lent, and the host, Pete O'shea had given up chocolate. So, waiting until after Easter, Bob made Pete his favorite pie.

Tune in Wednesday nights at 6:14 for Julie and 6:44 for Bob on WTIS AM 1110 St. Petersburg, FL for parenting (and pie) tips!

Lenten Fish Fries and Corn Fritters

Bob has been frying fish for all the Fridays in Lent at St. Raphael Catholic Church. Tonight he went all out and made up some corn fritters as well.
