Pacers Blessing and 23 years in a Row for Acadec

We had a very nice weekend. On our way to the Valley for Pacer's blessing we stopped in Show Low for the Academic Decathalon Super Quiz and awards program. It was quite exciting and St. Johns sqeaked by a win by 2 points. It left us anxious as the awards program started, but as usal as the awards begin to be presented we knew St. Johns had won hands down. They won with points just under 39,000. The next closes teams points were under 35,000. Congratulations Blake for medaling in Speech and Music. Here are some pictures of the weekend.

I also discovered the best blueberry recipe. For my girls that have the St. Johns cookbook it is on page 114;

Blueberry Muffins (Natalie Hollembeak)

4 eggs
1 C. vegetable oil
2 C. sour Cream
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. sugar

Cream these ingredients together. Mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl.

4 C. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt

Gently stir these ingredients into the creamed ingredients, just until mixed. Do not over stir.

2 C. Blueberries, Folded in.

Preheat oven to 400. Place in greased muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 36 regular Muffins. I made mini muffins and they popped into my mouth way to easy.

Half of this recipe makes plenty for us, but you could always freeze them for later. I think the secret must be the sour cream.
