Have your Turkey yet? I saw frozen Turkeys in passing carts last weekend when we were shopping. Do you cook a whole bird? Bake it? Fry it? Buy one ready-cooked or smoked? Since it's just for myself and my husband, what I do is just a couple Turkey thighs in a slow-cooker, which is faster then a oven and makes them more tender. Enough Turkey.... On to Mama Kat's Prompt for Today: "List 5 Things That Bring You Comfort." #1) Reading the Bible & Prayer : I get a lot of comfort from hearing the Lord Jesus through scripture and reviewing the many promises He has given me. I have a stack of index cards, full of them. #2) My Husband : He's just a really warm, comforting person. That's one reason why I married him. Sunni #3) My Cat, Sunni : She likes to lay on my chest near my face and I find listening to her steady purr very comforting and relaxing. She especially, at night, just before I go to sleep. #4) A Good Cup of Coffe
Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's. I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower? Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.
Mama Kat's Prompt today is: "When was the last time you made something with your hands and what was it?" Yay, "show and tell" craft day! Conveniently, I took a beading class yesterday and made this bracelet! The 3 larger turquoise beads in the middle are my own, taken from an old costume jewelry necklace I took apart. It's funny how contact with skin and alcohol from perfumes and so on can cause gold-coated plastic beads to peel over time. That's what happened to this necklace. Though, the turquoise beads were fine and couldn't bear to just throw it away. I have several necklace's with good parts just like that I'm holding onto to do a re-build on, which is the reason I took the beading class. (Waste not, want not I say.) Everything other then those 3 beads was purchased at the store. Luckily, I found companionable turquoise beads to go with it there, considering it is a very small entrepreneurial craft shop with a limited s
Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling. This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.) It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity. And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v
The Mama Kat blog prompt suggestion for today is: "Share a Favorite Quote." So here's another round of my favorite quotable quotes pulled my Pinterest "attic," where I keep lots of stuff--both useful and otherwise. This quote tends to be true about me. Sometimes I have to remind myself not to over-indulge in trivia talk, especially if I'm with a crowd I know isn't interested, but give me someone interested in Marvel movie trivia and it's game on! I love this one! Somehow modern comedy & comedy writing has arrived at believing that funniness requires being foul-mouthed and lewd. I like this one because I think the people who "don't back out" once they know you, whether you're weird or not, are the ones who really love you for who you are. And those are the ones worth having. This one makes me chuckle because it's so totally relatable. I do this all the t
