Happy Thursday Girlies!My daughter and I are having a garage sale this weekend...... Hmmmmm.....aren't they a big 'ol bother??? But I do love counting the $$$$$$$$$ after the sale! :-) So, we always manage to muddle through. We have one every year about this time. The plan is always for June but we've never made it yet. We're two slow chickies.
We were out in her garage this afternoon, going through piles of junk,....oh yes........WONDERFUL items....... :-) And, the girl found these great vintage recipe cards.... We couldn't believe this one... Seriously? They really ate this stuff? Now, I have to confess, the things I make must actually TASTE like this sounds.... My pot for the church social will be the ONLY one with stuff left in it when it's time to go home.......Well, all except for that cake the night I met the Hubbs at a church singles dinner. :-) I think it was the cake that captured his heart......
Whipped cream, lemon Jello and OLIVES???? Hard cooked eggs??? BLECH!!!
And, check out the dressing???
I don't think I'd have caught him with this, do you???
I loved the title of this one.... White Moon Cake with Moon glow frosting..... It just sounds happy, doesn't it??The cake I made??? Better Than Sex Cake... Ahhhh..... come on....I thought it was kind of funny.... And, the PERFECT thing for a CHURCH social, right?? Maybe Moon Cake with Moon Glow frosting would have done it too. Actually I have NEVER made that cake again.... (or before).
Sunset Salad.... Must have been popular back in the day... It was in the paper..... And, Jello must have been big back then too, it seems like the staple in all salads.Ruth Collin's Strawberry Mold had it too... Do you remember strawberries in the box? The one with the little metal ends??? I had totally forgotten about them until now. How long has it been since they made them that way? They were always the dickens to open.
Well, I'll be pricing and setting up for the next couple of days dear ones....so I'll be scarce around here..........like I haven't been?
I've had my little grandson for most of the summer so that has taken a LOT of my time. He usually stays from Sunday night until Friday night or Saturday. Gosh I LOVE being a grandma. There is just nothing better. Seeing his little face first thing every morning makes my heart sing. He is a treasure. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to him about my little dog and the heat... Little Ruby is 1/2 Frenchie, 1/4 Boston and 1/4 English Bulldog so she has that little short face.... I was telling him that she can't tolerate the heat very well.........He looked at me like I had TWO heads and told me "Oh, I know.....she's bracycephalic............All ten year old kids know that, right? Good grief.... He has Asperger's Syndrome, but the kid's a genius.
I MISS you!
And, I'll be back to the regular blogging soon!
