    I serve this dish often for our family dinners, company and holidays.

    GRANDMOTHER'S CORN PUDDING

    4 eggs
    1 C. milk
    1 can (15 oz.) cream-style corn
    1/2 C. sugar
    5 slices day-old bread, crusts removed
    1 T. butter

    In a bowl, beat eggs and milk. Add corn and sugar, mix well. Cut bread into 1/2-in. cubes and place in a greased 9'in. square baking dish. Pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with butter. Bake, uncovered at 350 deg. for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 9 servings.

    Hello ladies! Past my Thanksgiving. But I'm sure by now your weather is cooling off too. So this is a drink I love to serve when it gets chilly outside. You can use apple juice, or apple cider. The other year, I made homemade apple juice, tasted great in this recipe!

    Cider Wassail
    2 quarts apple cider
    1-1/2 cups orange juice
    3/4 cup pineapple juice
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
    Dash ground cinnamon
    Dash ground cloves

    In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks. Serve hot in mugs. Yield: 10-12 servings (2-1/2 quarts).

    Thre were no meals on the German Harvest Festicval day in October. It was called : Erntedankfest.
    It was day to honor farmers and usually there were small parades. Livestock all decked out in finery, pulling wagons with people in their regional costumes and with displays of the crops they grew. But no family gatherings and big meals like here.
    Don't know if it still that way since tings have changed so much in Europe.

    1 can corn, undrained
    1 can cream-style corn
    1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
    2 eggs, beaten
    1-8 oz. ct. sour cream
    1/2 cup margarine, melted
    1-8 oz pkg. grated Swiss cheese

    Mix all ingredients except cheese. Pour into a greased dish. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees until almost set. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake 5-10 minutes more.
