Mama Kat Thursday: Something That Made Us Laugh

-
The Mama Kat prompt I've chosen this week is to, "share something that made us laugh."

There was a thing that made us laugh recently and we laughed because it was cute.
It happened at the Air Force Commissary where we grocery shop, which can be used by any U.S service member and their family. It may also be used by visiting foreign military of Ally countries, such as pilots here for a joint flying exercise.
Military service members wear a flag patch on the upper arm of their uniforms to identity their country of origin.
So Canadian, Aussie, German, Italian, French, Netherlands and United Kingdom military all come here from time to time and sometimes we see them in the Commissary picking up a few things for cooking or grilling.
Since the green jungle-camouflage uniforms (called BDU's) generally all look very similar, we have to depend on that flag patch to know who's who.

The thing that made us laugh happened in the chip aisle at the Commissary. As we walked entered the aisle, at the far end we saw a young military man taking a smart phone photo of the Pringle's.
My first thought was: why would anyone be taking a picture of Pringle's?
Then as we drew closer, I saw the Italian flag patch on his arm.
"He's an Italian solider," I whispered to Hubby. "I think he's taking a picture of those Pringle's!"  
It was funny in such a cute, sweet way we couldn't help but start chuckling.
The Commissary has a ton of Pringle's. There were 4 shelves stocked full of Pringle's cans, all favors.
This is what the young man was photographing. 
As we came up to where he was standing, I could see his thumbs thumbs flying over his smart phone keypad, busily posting it to Facebook or something.
Hubby said to him,"Would you like us to take a picture of you in front of the Pringles?"
He smiled shyly and giggled a little as he replied, "No."
We continued on our way, tickled to death, still chuckling over it.

Pringles are sold all over the world including Italy.
I watched a youtube video tour of an Italian supermarket and it shopped their chip snack aisle was short with only two kinds of Pringle's stocked and lots of bags of an Italian brand of chip.
So, it was the huge quantity of Pringle's in one place that was such a  novelty!So,out there somewhere, right now is a photo of vast numbers of Pringle's sold by our Commissary.


Thanks for Visiting!

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-

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

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.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
