                         If, you are in the top of the mountain, looking down so beautiful.. Mount Nebo state park has long been an attraction for travelers to sightsee at Mountaintop overlooks.

  

There's many things to do in the Mountain. hiking, biking, horse back riding. my daughter did stop only one place she like the play ground with other kids.

Is long way to be easter  but  Pickled Eggs" so delicious. I got attract when I saw it in the store.  I made try it in the first time.. and now, thinking to make my own. taste Sour eggs and sweet pickles. here's recipes from the online I found...

INGREDIENTS

1 15-ounce c beets

1 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 bay leaves

4 whole cloves

1 medium onion, sliced into rings

6 large eggs

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Step 1 
Drain liquid from beets into a small saucepan, reserving the beets for another use. Add vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaves and cloves to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Pour the pickling liquid into a large deep bowl and stir in onions; set aside to cool for 1 hour.

Step 2 
Meanwhile, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook at the lowest simmer for 10 minutes. Pour off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until they are completely cooled. Peel the eggs.

Step 3 
When the pickling liquid is cool, place the peeled eggs in a 4-cup container; pour the pickling liquid over the eggs, then spoon the onions on top. (The onions should hold the eggs under the liquid.) Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Step 4 
Remove the eggs and onions from the pickling liquid. Refrigerate in an airtight container. Serve the onions (which are also delicious on burgers) alongside the eggs, if desired.

 MAKE AHEAD TIP

---

Once removed from the pickling liquid, the eggs will keep, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

                                                     Have  a Good Sunday Everyone

In America and In Western country. Its all about trick and treats, dressing up or doing costume party. So, she will have fun to understand and learn about anythings.

As My daughter requested a cookies princess halloween. I found it in the store. So, choose the easy way to bake.

My Daughter wanted to be a princess vampire but I haven't found a right size for her and they are really way expensive for one use. I am not dealing a $ 40 or more but happy I convince my daughter to go marva a consignment where is a branded and 2nd hand clothes are cheapest. I am glad I found a wing and dress separate but I gathers my idea, instead of vampire how this cute butterfly. I know, I can trick her right now but when she old enough she will find a way to get her favorite... but, she totally happy and she told me, You are the best Mommy. How's that feel? I am happy too!.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place raw peanuts in a single layer in shallow baking pan.
3. For unshelled peanuts (peanuts still inside their shells): Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
4. For shelled peanuts (peanuts with shell removed): Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Stir once or twice during cooking time.
6. Cook until slightly underdone.
7. Peanuts continue to cook when removed from oven.
8. Let cool 10 minutes before eating.
9. Store unshelled roasted peanuts in an airtight container up to one month on the shelf, 6 months in refrigerator or 12 months in freezer.

Tips:

Red Box

RedBox - It been common now everywhere in state, One of the only place to rent a movie are located where consumers already shop- leading grocery store, macdonald restaurant, kroger grocery shopping, walmart store.

                 Rent-and-return styles-  you have also to followed the policy it will charge you a $1 each day if you forgot it to return in the next day. My Husband does forgot to return when he's really busy or family want to watch again but isn't a big deal. 
              One time he lose the one red-box cover we had to buy it in amazon or in the ebay for $ 1.75 and wait for the few days to receive and also Red-box still charges us for fews day not returning the cd movie. anyway, were glad to return it  than forgotten they get more charge So, that's was a lesson.
