Mama Kat Thursday: Vintage Velveeta Recipe

-
Image
The Mama Kat blog prompt for today is: "Share a favorite recipe from your childhood that you still make today." Golden Meatball Casserole. It's a vintage Velveeta back-of-the-box recipe that my Mom made when I was growing up and that I still make!  Who can resist Velveeta?  The hubby loves it.  I usually make it for him for his birthday and generally fairly often during the winter months. It's rich, cheesy and delicious skillet meal that only takes about 40 minutes to put together in total, including prep time--as long as you use frozen meatballs! For this recipe you'll need either a large skillet ,12-inches diameter size or a 16-inch size electric skille t. Either will work. Golden Meatball Casserole Recipe: Ingredients: 1 bag containing 28-33 frozen regular size meatballs in either beef or turkey. (Italian is fine) 1 cup of chopped carrot. (1 inch chunks for regular size; 1/2 inch for baby carrots) 1/2 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup chopped...

Mama Kat Thursday: Old Days Snow Days

The Mama Kat challenge today is to, "Describe what snow days were like when you were a child. What made them memorable?" My school years were from 1963 to 1975 and back then, school was rarely canceled for weather.  For one thing, I lived in central Indiana and, while it did snow, it seldom snowed enough to warrant school closures.  Certainly, we'd see flakes falling and be hoping a snow day might get called, but that was exceedingly rare.  Mostly because we wouldn't get more then two to six inches at any one time-- if any fell at all and it didn't always. Getting a snow day really was a matter of timing: snow had to fall heavy enough, like eight inches or more, and build up on the roads fast enough or over-night, so snowplows that snowplows couldn't get all roads cleared adequately for buses to be able to pick up students. You have to picture that this was a large, spread-out farming community and most people lived on winding back roads or on gra...

Mama Kat Thursday: Vivid Dreams

-
Image
The Mama Kat prompt today is about my... Everyone dreams. It's how the brain rests.  Dreams occur during the the initial stage of sleep called REM stage (Rapid Eye Movement) and last only a few minutes. The average person moves up and down between REM and deep dreamless sleep at least 3 or 4 times a night. But to recall a dream requires either waking up in the middle of it or right afterward and to retain memory of the details, one must either tell someone about it or write it down---something so it gets rehearsed into memory. Otherwise, dreams are fleeting things, fading quickly away. For me, my dreams are generally adventurous. I'm also what you would call a "lucid dreamer." That means I have an awareness of what I'm dreaming and frequently take conscious control of what's happening. Recently, I've had 2 fun, very vivid dreams: one from last week ago and one from this morning: The setting of the first was a large airplane hanger wher...

Mama Kat Thursday: Legend of the Paddling Machine

Today's Mama Kat prompt to share about, "a time I was sent to the Principals Office." Frankly, I wasn't the sort of child that ever did anything required me being sent Principal's Office.  But I do recall in first grade   having some highly imaginative classmates who instilled an abject fear in me about anyone getting sent to the "Principal's Office." They swore up and down that the Principal had a "paddling machine" hidden in his office, a machine with multiple arms, each loaded with a wooden paddle.   I was too naive not to believe every tall tale these girls spun and the very prospect of being sent to the "THE Principals Office" now terrified me. Later, when I was in 5th and 6th grade, the Principal's office also became the "school library" and I often went there to check out a book.  They had a long wooden shelf unit along one wall loaded with books we could sign-out, including the whole hard-back Blac...

Mama Kat Thursday: A Waste of Money

-
Image
T oday's Mama Kat prompt option I'm doing is to share a time I wasted money. This was back in the day before Internet, when ordinary newspapers were more prevalent that I read an ad for "make money at home stuffing envelopes." I was a young, freshly married housewife attracted to the promise of being able to work at home. I imagined this job was like  stuffing envelopes with actual advertising for a legitimate company to bulk mail. That's what it sounds like, right?  To find out more about this "job," I had to mail $20 to a specified address.  I did that.  A few days letter I got a type-written letter explaining this so called "job for stuffing envelopes" was nothing, but tricking people into sending tons of $20 dollar bills to whoever ran the same ad. I was to "make money" by running the same ad with my address, then send each "applicant" the same type-written letter telling them how to perpetuate this bit of f...
