After 3 tries, Ryan finally passed his test. He will be range driving on Saturday, and then getting his permit next week after finishing his "Citizen in the Nation" merit badge. So, fair warning is given - stay off the road!

Stephen Rocks the Halls!
At school, Stephen has been reading... a lot! After each book, the students can take an AR test that checks their comprehension of what they have read. Each test awards points and they keep track of their points. When the students reach 100 points, they get to rock the halls!!!
Stephen (and the other students) received a medal and a shirt. They invite the parents to come watch. All of the students from the classes line up in the halls and the students names are announced. The students, led by their wonderful principal, run down the halls, cheered on by their fellow students! Music plays...Who let the dogs out?, and We Will Rock You!
Stephen enjoyed running down the hall with all his fellow students cheering him on!
And here is the principal, leading the group. This is a proud moment for the readers and their parents. Great job, Stephen!!!! Originated from: Jewkes Family Blog

I Love Pizza!
And I especially like pan pizza from pizza hut. The crispy crust just sends my mouth into joyous rapture! I have a really good recipe for pizza, but had never quite figured out how to make that yummy crisp crust. Over the weekend, I finally put the pieces together. I had used a cast iron skillet before, but it didn't quite do the trick.
So, I tried preheating the pan, while preheating the oven to 425 degrees. I sprayed it with a bit of pan spray first.
Then I worked on getting all my lovely toppings ready. I also pre-formed the dough to the approximate shape of the pan. When the pan had heated about 15 minutes, I removed it from the oven and built my pizza.
I finished with a brush of melted butter around the crust and sprinkled all over with Parmesan and garlic powder.
Baked it for 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then brought it out of oven, and it came right out of the pan.
Look at the yummy crusty cheese around the bottom. This was such a good dinner on Friday, we had it for lunch on Saturday.
These were individual sized pizzas, in smaller cast iron skillets. However, I think that the larger skillets or dutch oven type pans would work for a larger pizza. We like the individual sized ones because we get to choose the toppings we like best.
We used our new Skookie pans for this, and they worked perfectly. Then on Sunday, we used cookie dough in the Skookie pans, and found the cookies were better if the pans were preheated as well.
