Pinewood Derby

Our Ward held an Elder's Quorum Pinewood Derby and Soup Supper Social.


Tal was sure that our "West Coast Prowler" was his car.

The winning team!!!

Our ward held a Pinewood Derby and Soup Supper Social. Being short on time, Kris and the kids bought a kit car and put it together. It was a pretty smoking "West Coast Prowler." As we didn't have a scale, all of the cars raced in the open division. Our car was eating up the competition until it got knocked off the stage and broke a wheel. After that it just careened down the track smashing into other cars. But everyone won a prize and Abi and Tal were happy with our screwdriver and gummy bears. For my part I made my Mexican Cheese Soup. It's always a big hit, even with the kids.

Mexican Cheese Soup

1 lb hamburger

1 onion, diced

1-2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning

1 quart diced tomatoes - I can my own, so probably 2 cans from the store

1 pint corn - canned or frozen

1/2 brick Velveeta cheese, diced into cubes

Milk to thin as desired

Saute' hamburger in skillet with onion and taco seasoning. Once browned, dump all ingredients into a crockpot and simmer for 3-4 hours. May thin with milk as desired. Enjoy!!!

Wow! They gave you a screwdriver as a prize? What a progressive bunch of Mormons ya'll are down there. I didn't know alcoholic beverages were fairgame at Pinewood Derbys. Teehee. I kill myself.

Looks like it was a great night. I have been wondering where you were. Nice to have you back ;).
