yet another something I really want


I am just about to go crazy if I do not get some pineapple!! I have been craving it for 2 days!! I love fresh, but cannot stand pineapple upside down cake and think the canned stuff tastes like metal. Also some red grapes and yummy fruit dip...1 8 0z cream cheese& I think 2 cups confectioners sugar and a bit of vanilla and some milk. Mix it with an electric mixer and it is fabulous. (that is from my MIL)
here is a tasty cheese ball that is so easy (from mom)
8 oz softened cream cheese
16 oz shredded cheddar (get the pre packaged fat stuff, not the finely shredded)
bunch of chopped scallions
mix it all and form into a ball and refrigerate a bit before serving
we made individual "apples", you know roll in paprika and top with cinnamon stick (those were hard to cut) or an apple stem and bay leaf cut or whatever. anyway I made those the first week of school for an after school snack, my kids love them
We had potato soup for dinner tonight. My kids love it and it is a recipe I can adapt for Sam. I will post that later. I hear the kids getting restless, Sam slept from 2-5:30 so another long night ahead!!! :)
Chris is in Tupelo for his second interview. Thank you to Peter & Heather for their hospitality in S.Carolina...I know he had a good time with the Wii.
