I missed last night - visiting and giving you a great recipe -- hope you either have the ingredients you need for the one tonight - OR - can go get them tomorrow before game time!! Our wireless router went out - just like a burned out light bulb - so we bought a new one - still can't get it to work - but finally I am plugged in direct - so here I am!
I know I had probably bored you with all the hoop-la about my magic drawer and all of the recipes in it -- well I also had a plastic bag full of even older recipes in another drawer under the oven (maybe now I can clean it out and get a "warming drawer!) Today I hit the "mother-lode" - I found the recipe I knew I had but could not find -- My dad (who died over 15 years ago) had written his Ice Cream recipe out for me -- Good ice cream but nothing spectacular -- the prize to me - was HE HAD WRITTEN IT! The paper is stained and torn, but it is oh so special! I would recognize his hand writing any place and now I have my original! It has always been a special "collector's item to me" and I am so thankful I once again know where it is! It is definitely going in my Dessert Book in a place of honor!!!
A couple of days ago I was listening to the crazy guys - Big D and Bubba - on the radio as I was going to work and one of them said they had gotten their feelings hurt and the other argued that men get mad but don't get their feelings hurt. I've thought about that a lot -- and I really don't remember any man ever saying "You hurt my feelings" but I do vividly remember being told I was wearing my "feelings on my sleeves!" Well if they are, don't you think that is where God put them on women?? Don't you think that is why we are so sensitive to others, even why we cry at sad movies or stories we see or hear? I often cry when I watch movies I've seen before or read an email about some misfortune! I really don't think men understand the difference -- mad is being put out, disgusted, or fed up. Hurt feelings are realizing you are misunderstood, not given the chance to express yourself, or bruised with hurtful words. So do men get their feelings "hurt" or do they just "get mad?" I would love to know what you think!!! As for me - I will still get "my feelings hurt" and will still cry at the misfortune of others - real or in the movies or a book I read!
Now here is a fun and easy - last minute recipe (found it in my old plastic bag!) CHILI CHEESE STUFF
1 LB. Velvetta cheese
2 Cans Hormel or Wolfe chili (no beans)
2 Cans Ranch Style beans

Another great recipe is: PEACH BUBBLE OVER PIE

1/2 tsp. salt
Mix and add:
1 Cup milk
1 Egg
Melt 1 stick butter in 13 X 9" baking dish. Pour batter into dish. Add 1 large can sliced peaches. Our peach juice over top. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Great served with ice cream or whipped cream!!
The other day my sister and I went to lunch together - really without telling anyone - we shared food and had a great time for about an hour! We had been trying to do this for the last month and I either had a meeting or her hair was dirty - or she had to take Mom to an appointment. We had a really "stolen good time!" That same afternoon I read the following: "I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in half an hour? She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. IT looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "it's Monday!" She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together." I sent this to my sister and told her how glad I was that we had lunch together and that I loved her. She responded with the same sentiments. Please make sure you take the time to be with the ones you love!!!!
Remember: When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift.. Thrown away...Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.
Take care - have a blessed evening (or day) and remember 'Smell the roses - while they are blooming!" With God's blessing - be back tomorrow ....
