Hi there.
Well, today I did something new. I went to a class and made two cards. I had a really good time and a good instuctor, my cousin RoseAnn. But RoseAnn and I have a good time every time we get together. We have been on our little trips together and just had a lot of fun.
Going to take another one of her classes next month. Cannot wait.
By now everyone has heard the bad news of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson's deaths. Wow, what tragedies.
Hope all is well in your world. Take care. Until we meet here again......

It's Father's Day
Hi again. Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers out there. Tonite
I wanted to tell you about a recipe that my dad liked and so did
my husband. Gram made it a little differently, but my husband
liked my way. I did not like these at all growing up and even
when I made them for my husband, I ate something else. So
here are the Stuffed Peppers I made:
1 1/2 Lbs. ground beef 1 bag Minute Rice cooked
1 medium diced onion Salt & pepper to taste
2 cans of tomato soup garlic powder to taste
4 or 5 green, red or yellow peppers cleaned
Mix together the ground beef, the diced onion, the cooked rice after it cools, salt and pepper, and garlic powder. Wash and dry your peppers, cut off just the tops and scoop out the seeds and the fibrous part of the pepper, making sure to keep it in tact. Stuff the pepper with the beef and rice mix. Put top on and place in large heavy bottom kettle standing upright. Pour in the tomato soup and add enough water to fill to 3/4 up the pepper. Cover and cook for about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. or until pepper is soft when knife is inserted. Serve with boiled potatoes and another veggie and you are all set. You can also make this by putting the pepper upright in a oven proof covered casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hr.
Hope you enjoy the day. Keep an eye to the sky since we have been having so darn many storms. Take care!! Til we meet again.

It's June!
Well, it is almost the middle of June already. The weather just doesn't seem to want to warm up, but I'll take this over the extremely hot or cold we have had.
Just don't like all the storms that come with warm weather. Have enjoyed the gentle rains we have had. Last Saturday I got to enjoy the sounds of Raggae music from the Black River Landings. I just go into the backyard and can enjoy it there. This week is supposed to be Jazz night. Hope it doesn't rain.
Thought I would share a recipe for the Microwave with you. It is a Chicken and Rice one.
1 1/3 cups 5 minute rice 2 cans (10 3/4 oz. ea.) condensed cream of
chicken soup 2 soup cans milk (2 1/2 c.)
2 medium sized ribs celery sliced (3/4 c.) 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
4 chicken legs (drumsticks & thighs 2 1/2 lbs. skinned) Paprika Mix all ingredients except chicken in a 13 x 9 in. microwave safe baking dish. Arrange chicken on top, meaty side up, in a single layer: sprinkle with paprika. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on high 25-30 mins. rotating dish 1/2 turn twice, until chicken is barely opaque in thickest part when tested with a knife. Let stand covered 3 mins. until opaque. Now serve with your favorite veggie sides. Enjoy!!
Have a great weekend. Happy Flag Day!!!

Finally found it! Success!
Yes, I cannot believe it. I have found the famous sweet bread recipe that my grandmother used to make. We loved this bread. The house always smelled so good when we came in after gram had been baking. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it too.
Polish Sweet Bread

Let rise until double. Punch down and let rise again. Put into greased loaf pans. When it has risen in pans, brush with egg and put crumb topping on. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

It's almost June
Hello again.
It has been quite busy for me. I went out to eat with my girlfriend and my cousins and celebrated another birthday on May 16. It was uneventful except for all the days out to eat.
My cousin RoseAnn and I went on a wonderful day trip. Had a great time in Medina. I used to live in Brunswick years ago and boy has that area changed. Had a great time.
I don't have a recipe today, but I do hope you all have a great Memorial day weekend. Enjoy.
Cook out and have a great time.
Will try and find a good recipe for you next time.
Happy Memorial Day!

Finally eating
Hurray!
I had my first food--real food. I didn't realize how much I missed veggies. Had some salad and tomatoes today. They sure did taste good. Was thinking about some of the dishes I fixed for my mom when she had her problems eating. One of her favorites was pork chops and rice. It is very easy to make:
4-6 pork chops seasoned with salt and pepper 2 cups white rice
2 cans cream of mushroom soup 4 cans of water
Season your pork chops as you want. Put your rice uncooked into a casserole. Lay the seasoned pork chops on the rice. Open your soup and pour into a bowl, mix in the water. Pour over your pork and rice. Cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 mins. or until water absorbed and rice cooked thru. You can add peas or broccoli to this and bake it and have a meal in one dish. The pork chops come out nice and tender this way.
Try it you might enjoy them.
Well, keep you posted on my progress eating. Have a good week.

Creamy Rice Pudding
Hi gang!
Still having problems with my teeth. It seems like I cannot get used to these things. Went for a reline and the girl who did it had a stomach ache and felt nauseated. I got it then. Boy, was I mad. Called them and told them they need to keep their personnel home when they are sick not working.
Here's a Creamy Rice Pudding to make:
1/2 cup rice 5 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup raisins (Optional)
Bring to a boil 4 cups milk, salt and sugar. Wash rice in cold water and add to boiling milk. Simmer slowly for 30 mins. or until rice is tender. Put rice in buttered baking dish, add remaining l cup of cold milk, flavoring and raisins. Bake at 400 degrees for half hr. or until the top is slightly brown. Serve hot or cold with cream if desired.
Gram used to make this and sprinkled the top with cinnamon or nutmeg, depending on her mood when it came out of the oven. We used to love it. Hope you will try it.
