HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

It's a wee bit early, I know, but...... I'm gonna be cookin' up a storm the next couple of daze. Somehow, it's ended up that J and I will be spending T-Day in Hattiesburg, MS with our daughter and #3 son, and a couple of their roommates, and....who-the-hell-knows who else. Since J has to work Friday, it'll be a very quick trip -- up there early Thursday and back home late-ish the same day. It's only about 2 1/2 hours so it won't be that bad -- I guess.

I have been in a cooking funk this year. I usually cook and freeze in mid-November for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Haven't done that this year. Haven't even shopped. In fact, I just made a menu and shopping list Sunday night. I've been trying to talk the kids into having lasagna and spaghetti with a big salad and lots of desserts -- to no avail....

So, off to the store and then......let the cooking begin!

I wish for each and every one a blessed day surrounded by friends and loved ones. If your lot is to be working or alone Thursday, I pray you are wrapped in warm memories.

Here's one dish we're having. (Can you tell I'm trying to put off the cooking thing?)



CORN CASSEROLE

- 1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
- 1 can cream corn
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup Jiffy corn muffin mix (substitutions are not as good)
- 1/2 stick melted margarine/butter

Mix all ingredients and pour into 2-quart pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

Quick & Yummy! Enjoy!
