Genealogy
tip for the day: SHORTIE TIP – New Find
In one of our earlier posts we talked about learning
styles and how that impacts how we research and how we present out work to
friends and family. If you are audio, visual or kinetic have I got something for
you!
I was surfing through websites regarding genealogy,
as I often do. I came across one website that referred to another. I clicked on
it and discovered Story Press. <storypress.com>
is the URL for this website and it is set up so you can upload pictures and
record audio to go with it. This also works for videos. You need to register to
use the website, but it is free. There is no cost. Their whole purpose is to
help you preserve your family history.
I have registered and poked around. It seems easy to
use, although I’ll have to admit I haven’t actually used it yet. But when I
discovered it, I thought of you who fit the above learning styles! Anyone can
use it, but let’s face it – not everything appeals to everyone! Right??? But go have a look and see what you think.
“History is who we
are; Genealogy is who I am” sg

Recipe

Breakfast Foods
For baked oatmeal here is a basic recipe that you can
customize by adding your favorite mix-ins and toppings. In a bowl mix together
2 cups (uncooked) oatmeal, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4
teaspoon salt. In another bowl combine 3 tablespoons melted (and slightly
cooled) butter, 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup milk. In a well
greased baking dish place a thin layer of sliced bananas, then the oatmeal mix,
then pour on the milk mixture. Try to distribute the milk mixture evenly over
the oatmeal. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
For the pumpkin spice baked oatmeal simply add 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the milk mixture before you pour it over the top of the oats.
For the coffee cake baked oatmeal add 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee or ground espresso to the milk mixture before pouring it over the oats. Garnish the top of the oatmeal with a crumb topping made of 2 tablespoons cold butter, 1/4 cup flour and 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix that together with your (clean) hands so that it's crumbly, sprinkle over the top of the oatmeal for the last 10 minutes of baking.
