Welcome back -- hey I need someone to say that to me!!! I am back -- typing on the most beautiful "Magenta" colored Dell computer - that so far does just what I want! It offers many opportunities to learn other programs too!
Starting over is exciting and almost scary -- it has been so long that I was almost hesitant to start again --but desire won out and here I am! I have been saving recipes so I have a new supply of great ones. So much has happened since I last wrote. One thing I've learned is that you can never guess what people really are by the pretense they sometimes exhibit! I've experienced two cases of that lately and it is so sad and so disheartening when you realize someone you have really admired and looked up to - has not truly matured enough to talk to someone when they think they have been wronged or disappointed - but revert back to childlikeness - and either say cruel things or won't speak and turn their heads when you are around. It is so disappointing and if you've been hurt like we have in the past -- it hurts twice as bad! It is sad we don't read our manual for Christian living (the Bible) enough to follow its instruction. If I am not mistaken the Bible says "if you have anything against your brother - go to him" - not turn your head and walk away!
Ok - guess I've wondered away again from cooking so - back to what I enjoy so much -- not that I've done much of it this fall! I started a cake - a wonderfully delicious, rich cake that is easy too -- if you have all of the ingredients. I had actually imposed on my dear sister today to pick me up a lb. of butter and some sugar so I would be ready to make it right after church -- but I didn't realize I only had one egg -- when I needed six. It was already 9:00 p.m., and the cake cooks an hour and half so I put the butter and cream cheese (I had just beat) in the refrigerator and will try again tomorrow!! The cake never fails and is delicious so if you want to make it -- make sure you have six eggs. Here is the recipe:
CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
2 sticks butter
1 stick oleo (or just use 3 sticks butter)
8 oz. cream cheese
6 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 cups flour
Cream oleo, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Gradually add 2 eggs and sugar and vanilla. Add flour and remaining eggs (one at a time) alternately (one at a time), ending with the flour. Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Serves 12 -- or a couple of hungry people who don't want to share!!! It is very easy - it is moist and delicious!
If you've read my blog very much -- you have already figured out I love spicy dishes and dishes especially make with jalapenos. Well ---here is a wonderfully sounding casserole that was in the Tyler paper today that I can't wait to try.
JALAPENO CORN CASSEROLE
16 OZ. Cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
5 - 15 oz. cans white shoe peg corn, drained
1 small can jalapenos, drained
In mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, flour and milk. Stir in corn and jalapenos and mix thoroughly. Pour into a greased caserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. This dish is spicy, so adjust jalapenos according to taste. Serves 8.
