Is anyone else excited about the Lost season finale tonight? Chris & I are looking forward to it. I’ve really enjoyed this season. In fact, I don’t think there has been an episode where I haven’t said “What! Did that just happen?” and made Chris hit rewind.
Speaking of Lost, a friend (who is a fellow Lost/BSG/Arrested Development fan) sent me this picture of him in Sedona sporting a Hanso Foundation t-shirt. Something about the scene and the Lost reference t-shirt told me I needed to Photoshop a Smoke Monster into the picture.

It adds a whole new dimension of terror to an otherwise harmless vacation photo. Chris thinks my follow-up pic should be a polar bear, or Cylon. Yeah, I don’t know. My Photoshop skills are pretty limited to photo retouching and black amorphous blobs. I’m not ready for Fark-like challenges.

Sopapilla Recipe- (I put it here so mom could see it too, plus I still don’t have your REAL email address..)
Sopapillas
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon of butter, melted
1 tablespoon of sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil
sugar
cinnamon
honey
Method:
Mix the yeast with the warm water and let it sit for five minutes.
Combine the flour and salt.
Add the butter and sugar to the yeast/water mixture and then slowly add to the flour and salt.
Knead for two minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
Rise in a covered, greased bowl for one hour or until dough is doubled in size.
After dough has risen, punch it down, and on a floured surface, roll it out into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut out 3 inch squares, and then cut squares on the diagonal into triangles.
Heat up three inches of oil in a big pot to 375 degrees.
Fry two triangles of dough at a time in the oil for one minute on each side. The dough should puff when it hits the oil.
Drain, and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
Serve hot with honey.
Makes about 18 sopapillas.
Next time I am going to try and use a star cookie cutter.. much more corners for the honey to pool in!!!
