The Kitchen Table

Caring friends brought me lunch, today! :o)

17 years ago

Had rotisserie chipolte mole chicken (Publix)

Homemade cornbread dressing

fresh off the cob creamed corn

yummy baby carrots in some kind of dressing

Most unusual tossed salad: iceberg, spinach, olives, sliced purple grapes, broccoli, sliced tomatoes. Must say it was tasty!

Tomorrow lunch being brought by two other friends.

Feel truly blessed.

Was yours as good as mine?

Glenda, glad to hear your friends are keeping you nourished!
I had lunch out with Hubby today. Took him to a place I used to go as a child on the mainland. He liked it.
He had an open faced chili burger and I had chili cheese fries.

That's really great, Glenda! Isn't it special to have good friends. I hope you're feeling a little better!

Glenda, I'm just a bit north of Jackson, TN. I know there are several folks on the gardening forums that live close to me but I've not met any of them. I think Robin is the closest one to me and she's two hours away. I'd love to have lunch but it involves me taking an entire day off work. Just not possible for a while! I'll keep it in mind though! You all are such fun people!

Sorry I butchered her name, it's MARION Burros, cookbook author, and here's the recipe: Summer Torte by Marion Burros Originally posted by Jojoco, such a great cook! 1 stick butter, softened (I always use unsalted) 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup flour; sifted 1 tsp baking powder 2 eggs pinch of salt fruit of choice; sliced into wedges (I used about 7 plums. Peaches, nectarines,strawberries all work great and in combination) cinnamon sugar for top Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and add sugar. Beat well. Add eggs and beat. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to batter. Mix. Spoon globs to greased 9 or 10 inch springform. Use a knife to spread batter to cover entire pan. Arrange fruit on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (amount depends on the sweetness of the fruit). Bake for 45 min. I must admit that I like to top it with streusel in addition to the fruit, or at the very least some of those big sugar crystals (I use "Sugar in the Raw" for this).

Hmm-m-m ... "Chocolate ice cream sings". Most any kind of ice cream sings ... perhaps chocolate some more than most of the others. Is this an invitation to, e.g. octogenarians, to become decadent?? ole joyful

Glenda, I'm 74 and I woud find it amusing if I overheard a conversation like that. We all know people that are 'old' at 60! They walk like an old person, they talk like an old person and they think like an old person. Age is a state of mind. Exercising and keeping active keeps you young. I'm still walking five miles a day or eighteen holes of golf and I know people a lot younger than me that cannot do that. You're doing water aerobics, weights, etc. You go girl. Just laugh it off. Don't you remember when you were a teenager and thinking that 35 was old?

Glenda, what goes around, comes around. You help others often, and now, it is your turn to be at the receiving end.

I am glad, there is someone to help out.

Glenda,

In spite of a few bumps in the road occasionally, you sure lead the Good Life. You are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends to bring you such goodies.

When are you supposed to go to the Biltmore, or have you already been, and I just missed it?

Sue...wishing you a speedy recovery.

I HAD sent in my $150 deposit for the Biltmore trip. Talked with gal, today, and she'll shred the check, but if I feel healed, which I hope I will be, then I can call her at the last minute and join the trip/

Glenda, no wonder you have such caring friends. You are a generous, caring person yourself. Hope you get well soon.

That's good to know. I know this trip is with friends, but when you mentioned going in Nov, my first thought was that spring or summer would be a much prettier time to go and enjoy the gardens...which would be of the greatest interest to me.
