Seth and I went to an orchard 15 miles outside of Lincoln to pick raspberries and some apples. I still need to make freezer "razzberry" jam and an apple pie. Raspberries are one of my favorite berries! The midwest is so beautiful with all the fields of green now turning gold.

I've been trying to decide what recipe to feature for September, and I finally found one.

My aunt LaRee is the Betty Crocker of all cooks! This summer she suggested I make a polynesian dessert called Pani Popo, which is basically a pan of sweet dough rolls smothered in coconut milk, coconut flakes, and baked. My ward was having a pig roast for our ward party on Saturday, so I thought it fitting to have a coconut dessert, and decided to experiment with Pani Popo. It turned out very delicious.

If you love coconut, you'll love Pani Popo! I searched the internet and my bread books for recipes, the result is the September's recipe featured on the side bar.

Seth and I finally went to the zoo in Omaha. We've been hearing from our Lincoln friends how fun it is. We had a great time, and only saw half the zoo, we'll have to go back again before we leave Lincoln. Here's a couple of pictures - some didn't turn out so well from the refelctions of the plastic barriers.



SCARRY - I think Darwin might be right!
