| What Your Thanksgiving Meal Says About You |
 You see the holidays as a time to think about what's important to you. It's a good time to reflect and regroup. You like the more adult aspects of the holidays - parties, cocktails, and having time off from work. During the holidays, you are likely to feel creative. At your worst, you feel unappreciated. You consider yourself to be a bit of a purist, and you're proud of it. You tend to spend your holidays sharing and pitching in. You'll do whatever needs to be done. |
Well, it’s time for the scalloped corn report. It was a hit! It didn’t come out the way we wanted, but we improvised and overcame.
The right way to do this dish is in a crock that you can bake the corn in, in the oven. Tonight’s dish consisted of 6 cans of regular corn, 2 cans of creamed corn, a pound of butter, and a pound of cream cheese. The mixture is topped with bread crumbs and baked. That’s the normal way.
We cooked the dish in the crock pot on low for about 5 hours; planning to add the bread crumbs afterwards. Because of time constraints, we had to put the corn into a baking dish, put the bread crumbs on top, then Nana broiled it in the toaster oven.
It came out okay, but relying on the crock pot alone didn’t work. Live and learn!
This is what we are facing tomorrow:

You see the holidays as a time to be close to loved ones. It's a good time to reconnect and make memories. You like the more adult aspects of the holidays - parties, cocktails, and having time off from work. During the holidays, you are likely to feel energetic. At your worst, you feel bored. You consider yourself to be a bit of a purist, and you're proud of it. You tend to spend your holidays doing everything and anything. You really get into the holiday spirit. |
Wonderful memories, sergeantdave...home or traveling for Thanksgiving? Have a wonderful one!
Good evening, HJ...how was your potlick? Did you get enough to eat. LOL!
All I have to offer is naproxen.
Lots to eat! A plate of traditional food, a plate of salads, and three pieces of pie (pumpkin, sweet potato, and banana cream) to share.
And lots of fellowship, to boot.
Been there , done that.
I kiss them often.
