Good morning Bea and whoever else is up. It's 25 here this morning with a heavy frost. Going up to 37. At least the sun is shining a bit, but there's lots of clouds.

We'll be tidying up here today in anticipation of the family coming to celebrate Christmas and Brody's 2nd birthday tomorrow. Yesterday I made potato salad, deviled eggs and pineapple casserole. I'll put the ham in the oven early tomorrow and then set the food out so we can graze all day so I don't have to spend the day in the kitchen. The cookies and dobas torte are already made and we'll have birthday cake as a separate celebration for Brody later in the day. We'll see how many calories we can consume in 1 day and deal with dieting on sunday.

Our Christmas was a good one and the grand/kids were a delight......oooh, but like Janet says, they do wear you out....the 3 older ones are no problem as they're past that excitable stage, but the 2 younger ones are full of excitable energy! By the time they left, I found myself taking full sighs of relief......LOL.....oh, and the quiet afterwards was almost.....almost......deafening. We had so much food leftover, and like always, I made too much.....but that's the way I roll. We had our usual desserts including the birthday cake for Jesus......couldn't touch a bit of any of it......just too full, but won't have to cook for at least 3 days.
We had our ham today, and we decided to keep our tree up till Epiphany on the 6th......

1:28 a.m.?!

Did someone party hardy last night?!

Actually, we did........

I want to ask a favor, can you add my neighbor to your prayer list or send good thoughts and positive vibes for him. He is a retired teacher and his granddaughter lives with him. The GD was grilling on their enclosed patio and left the grill on with the top open. She went inside for some reason or another and needless to say, the house caught fire. Talking to the Fire Captain, the house was a total loss and they also lost one of their dogs in the fire. The reason I was talking to him was that the first unit on the scene cut the corner a bit too close and came over the curb and ran over part of the yard. I told him not to worry about it. I can take care of it when the weather clears up.

Happy New Year to all and stay safe and well.

O, how so terribly sad.....that gal must be feeling so horrible.
They have been included in our prayer list.

Absolutely. I love sharing easy recipes that are delicious.

Baked Pineapple Stuffing

1 C sugar (I reduced this to 3/4 C)
4 beaten eggs
1 Can crushed pineapple - don't drain
4 slices bread - cubed

Butter casserole dish - mine is 9-1/2 x 6-1/2"
Cream butter and sugar
Add eggs
Stir in pineapple then bread cubes
Pour into casserole dish (I set mine on a cookie sheet because it did bubble over a bit)
Bake uncovered 350 degrees for 45 minutes

Good morning. It's going up to 50 today with some rain this morning. Hopefully we'll see some sun this afternoon so that's good for the kids to get out and ride their bikes. Both our kids and their families are coming today to celebrate Christmas and Brody's birthday. It'll be joyous chaos here today!

@Diver9543 I sure hope your neighbor has some help nearby. What a way to start the new year. His poor GD must feel terrible, but at least they survived the fire and can rebuild. Prayers for that to go quickly and smoothly for them.

Thanks Janet. It sounds delicious. I can think of a few gatherings where I can bring that dish but it has to wait until I can be in a room with a bunch of people…after the vaccine.

@Janet H I just remembered a great recipe I haven’t used in a while that is excellent for summer.

PINEAPPLE MINT FREEZE

1 envelope gelatin
10oz jar mint jelly
20 oz can crushed pineapple
1 c whipping cream.

Drain pineapple. Soften gelatin in syrup from pineapple. Add jelly. Stir til gelatin and jelly are dissolved and melted. Stir in pineapple. Chill til thick and syrupy. Whip cream with 1 teaspoon sugar. Fold in gelatin mixture. Spoon in 8x4 loaf pan. Freeze til firm.

Good morning..

Awoke to ground covered snow...but it's only app. a couple of inches...just enough to cover the grass...but at least it finally looks like winter here in Mi.!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Now I'm going to play some Euchre on my pc...it wakes me up..gets my poor brain in gear...somewhat

 

[Anise]

Happy New Year everyone!

Saturday salutations

More rain here, and near summer temps. (Uh, 45 was the overnight low!!), but still cold and snow not too much higher up.

Hola ..

Not much of anything to report .. New Year's Eve was just a stay at home night, first year in many that I have not attended some sort of NYE party ..

New Year's Day I just kind of noshed on whatever I had that required no real work to prepare .. can you say cheese log and salami, crackers .. ??

I did have the required black eyed peas and I hope everyone else did as well .. anything that might improve luck for the New Year is worth doing ..

I may try that again. Was kinda hoping for a different one. As long as I can get out of it easily it''s all good.

Sorry, wrong place

Sorry, wrong place

You might need, maybe, a little more coffee...

Good snowy morning1 ( here, at least)

I love the snowy mornings ...now that I've been retired for 20-ish years..

I even took a pic on my cell yesterday afternoon of the yard n woods at the back of the yard.It's beautiful...

now I have to figure out how to transfer it from the cell to the puter

Ah...I see Janet and Anise are here...

GOOD MORNING!

 

[Janet H]

Good morning Kay and Bea. Our big fluffy snowflakes have stopped. We're to get a mix of sleet and rain with snow all day.

Thanks Janet. It sounds delicious. I can think of a few gatherings where I can bring that dish but it has to wait until I can be in a room with a bunch of people…after the vaccine.

This recipe doesn't make a big casserole so I just keep it in the fridge and serve it as a side with dinner - or just eat it for a snack. It's great for the waistline...

Your pineapple mint freeze looks delicious. Gotta try that one next.

 

[Anise]

Good morning everyone!

 

[DavidOck]

Still raining here, still snowing higher up. Fine place for that white stuff!!
