Making money online is really cool. In fact I know a lot of people now are into this paid blogging business and of course I'm one of them. You don't have to go out everyday to work. You can earn money by just staying at home and of course you need to have a blog site. One website that pays you to blog is Bloggerwave. You submit a post to them and once it's approved they pay you and the minimum pay is $10 for each post. This is really cool. In fact, just by writing this will earn me 10 bucks. Sign up to Bloggerwave and start earning money.

Yesterday I baked banana nut bread. Hubby bought some bananas a few days ago and they are already very ripe now. He's been eating some of it but he doesn't want to eat them now that they are very ripe. He said it's too soft for him. So it's best to make a banana nut bread. I often make banana nut muffins and bread but this time I opted to just make banana nut bread. Both hubby and I love eating it for our snacks. It's really good...yummy. I want to share the recipe. Try it, it's worth the effort.

Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter

I woke up late today, around 9:30 AM. I really had a good night rest. After eating my breakfast, I went outside and I noticed that a lot of leaves were scattered in our yard. It's really fall season and the leaves of the trees are starting to fall. I don't like seeing our yard so messy so I took my broom and swept the yard. Yup, I used a stick broom which my friend Malou gave me which she brought from the Philippines when she went on vacation. After sweeping the yard, I pulled out the weeds which grew in our backyard. This task of mine made me sweat and it's a good workout for me. Boy! Was I glad to see our yard clean but it won't be long that it will be full of leaves again. Can't help it, fall is kicking in...

There's not too much to say this time. This blogging business took much of my time lately. Just been busy updating my two blogs, my friendster and my scrapbook website. Oh my, it's kinda addictive just browsing the net and also blog hopping. My cross stitch that I started long time ago is not yet finished until now. Just a little stitching to be done though and it will be finished. I will post it here later the outcome of my work. My crocheting hobby had been put aside too. I started to crochet a scarf for the winter but since I've been busy blogging I didn't have time to do it. Oh well, maybe one of these days, I will have to continue all those projects of mine so it will be done and I will see the outcome.

I decided to bake the pears that one of my friends gave me. They're already ripe and before they rot I better make a pear pie. It's my first time to cook this recipe and surprisingly it turned out good. Hubby was the first one to eat a slice of it then I sliced one for myself. Hmmm...it was so good!!! Hubby requested another slice and also I got another one for myself. After tasting the outcome of my pear pie, I will cook some again next time because I still have some pears left. I asked hubby to buy me more pie crust at Wal Mart tomorrow. Here's the recipe for the Fresh Pear Pie:

Ingredients:
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup white sugar (I used brown sugar instead)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
5 cups peeled and sliced pears
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:
1. Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and lemon rind in a mixing bowl.
2. Arrange pears in layers in a 9 inch lined pan, sprinkling sugar mixture over each layer. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Roll out remaining dough; cut slits for escape of steam. Moisten rim of bottom crust, pressing to seal. Flute edge.
3. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes. reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an addtional 35 to 40 minutes.
