We had stuffed pasta shells, salad and garlic bread, had to dine early, it is beggars night here and I will be outside for 2 hours–and it is cold and windy!!  I have to go, I have over 45 pounds of candy to hand out, minus the little snickers bars that is. I may have to have a cup of very hot coffee half way through–may be with a bit of that lovely vanilla that is working in the pantry!

  Cheryl–  it did!!

Cheryl– That vanilla coffee made me feel real warm–or was it the 3 pairs of thermal undies, what ever it was –I like beggars night!! My neighbor came down and I offered her a taste of my coffee, and she suggested that next year I have "vanilla coffee" for some of the adult beggars!

 I have a nice pot of beans with a couple of ham hocks going, —–will make some corn bread, and may be a nice cup of after dinner coffee!  As one Buckeye to another, you should drop by for a cup.

My apologizes Cheryl–I don't know why I thought you are in Ohio–Ontario is not in Ohio is it? Of course not!! But you are always welcome!

   My Hubby was hungry for cornbread so it seemed to have been with them. I love the flavor of the smoked pork hocks.  Your dinner sound good as well. I hope you are off to a good  weekend  .

That's ok, I just figured it was a mix up, there are so many of us on here.  I may not be in Ohio, but I'm a neighbour…LOL

Do you make your cornbread sweeter?  Steven made it once and I just loved it… he wondered why… I don't normally eat a lot of sweets, but that cornbread was just a bit sweeter than he normally made it… you know he hasn't made it like that since :(  I need to remind him he needs to make some cornbread… now I'm thinking about baking some bread this weekend.

Have a great weekend!!!

Hugs Cheryl

Cheryl–I do make my corn bread a bit sweeter than called for, we like it that way too. I could send you some!  I also made butter this week, I will send some of that too!
 

       I usually bake bread on Friday, but worked outside blowing leaves and cutting them up with the tractor, probably have to do that at least one more time, so I will make the bread tomorrow, plus give Hubby a haircut, maybe make a cake of some sort. Then, just relax for the rest of the day–maybe.

                        Take care,

I'm in Waterford this weekend and waiting for the food..LOL  When I got here last night I had caught a big chill and I was thinking of your coffee and vanilla.      

I ended up making butternut and some other squash, it was good to heat up the house with the oven on last night.  Since I was making up a gravy with tons of onions in it I decided to make baked potatoes with garlic.  I cut them in half and put a tiny bit of oil and then some pre-chopped garlic, wrapped them up and in the oven they went.  They slow cooked for 2 hours… they were yummy.  Ok we both love lots of onions and garlic. 

Beef cooked in the mixture of two large sauted sweet onions, I used canned cream of mushroom soup and thinned it out with soya milk. Your cornbread would have been good with all this.

Not sure on what I'm doing today yet… Steven's working and won't get home until about 8:45 pm.  It's suppose to warm up to the 60's this afternoon so may sit outside and peel some of the black walnuts.  Not sure what's for dinner yet… I have 12 hours before it needs to be on the table

Buckeye,

Sounds like you're spoiling him!!! I'm sure dinner will be delicious and he's going to enjoy it!

Hugs Cheryl
