I have seen the upside down trees in magazines nad store displays, but have never seen one in a home or know anyone who has one.

Becca's team won their first game of the tournament - 25-10 and 25-14. And this is a team that beat them before. The girls were hot!!!!! Two more games tomorrow at 1:30 and 2:30, but I will have to miss them because of the 1st Reconciliation workshop. Maybe if I finish up real, real fast, I can catch the tail end of the final game.

Sorry ladies but I hate stuffing. No way will it go into a turkey of mine.

The closest I can come is cornbread stuffy like stove top. I do love devil eggs at holidays.

Off to figure out what I'm cooking for dinner. Busy day at work so don't want to cook.

The first upsidedown tree that I saw was at least 10 years ago at our Fantasy - Had another one a couple of years ago. Kinda of uniquie at something like that, but I wouldn't want one at home, unless I had toddlers or animals that wouldn't leave it alone.

I think we must all be "stuffed"! I think it wins hands up! Now, I'm hungry for it.

I just googled an upside down Christmas tree......not for me either.

I just got this Bisquick cookbook e-mail. It looks pretty good to me, if you'd like to see it here is the site.

I've seen those upside down trees. Not something for me, though.

My brother puts so much in his stuffing such as apples, pecans, raisins, water chestnuts, olives (yuck), sausage, and I think oysters, too.

Maizey, God bless you for posting recipes!!!!!

Now when I was at the store today, a woman in the gift department was decorating a Christmas tree....The new fad I guess is an upside down tree! Yup, it comes that way. Have any of you seen this. She seemed a little embarrassed to have to be doing an upside down tree, but those where her orders. It comes that way. Actually I thought it was kind of cool. This way the ornaments stick out more. She said well, at least you can fit more presents underneath. I don't even do the Christmas tree thing, but I must say I thought it was very unique and wanted to know if any one else has seen this.

This is one thing andstuffing the other.

King's Arm Tavern

Recipe Introduction

I have made this for Thanksgiving for years and years.
It's a little "fussy" to make. This past year I tried something easier, of course it wasn't as good; but had to do.

List of Ingredients

3 eggs
2 cups fresh corn kernel
1/4 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 tbsp melted butter
2 cups light cream

Recipe

Beat eggs well; combine with corn.
Mix flour sugar, salt pepper and add to corn mixture.
Stir in butter and cream and mix thoroughly.
Pour into a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
Place in a larger pan of hot water.
Bake at 325º for about an hour until firm and brown.
Yield 8-10 servings.

My Note: Always takes me more then an hour.
It's difficult having enough oven space at Thanksgiving for this. I usually have to end up microwaving it at the very end. If I had the oven space I would ALWAYS make this. .................................

I love the stuffing too. But if it is cooked in the bird. Wish I could make good stuffing. I would eat that every day of the week if I could.

Good morning everyone.

Kelly's Mission: Let's go after the ceilings, light fixtures and window sills in the Dining Room and Entrance Way. Use a feather duster or dust rag get the window sills, the light fixtures and dusties in the corners and the ceiling fan if you have one. (Put something underneath the fan to catch the falling debris.)

Pat - Wouldn't it be nice if Lily's pictures gets published?

Jane - Yes, next week will be a very busy one for you. Hope all goes well. Sounds like a nice visit with long time friends and that's always good.

Amy - It would have to be the dressing and pumpkin pie. I got a chuckle out of "So, it's Friday and I'm nosy..." Are you only nosy on Fridays? hehehe

Dianae - Congrats on the grant. That money will be a nice help.

Tango - Please don't leave us hanging. What happend now that you are crazy? Hope you got some sleep.

Picking up DH at work this afternoon and heading out to PA for a meeting. Laundry is in and I'm heading for the shower.

Have a wonderful day.

Hi Rosies!

Warm and overcast here. Not sure if we're to get more rain or not. A busy Friday for me. Will go over and babysit Hayden this afternoon while Mommy & Daddy go to the chiro. DS#3 is leaving this morning for a debate tournament. I went last night and bought him some slacks, a dress shirt, and a new tie to go with his sport coat. He looks really nice now. I think DH is working day shift today. When I asked him earlier what time he was going in, he just answered with "When I get around to it".

My favorite side dish is probably the stuffing. It gives me bad heartburn though. My brother makes what I call kitchen-sink stuffing as he puts everything in it. Can't do that here as most like it on the plain side.

Pat, send us some pics of Lily if you can.

Hugs to all. Have a great Friday!~~~Laura

Amy - I have a couple favorites - homemade cranberry sauce, cranberry salad, candied sweet potatoes and Boston Cream pie.

Running late this morning. I have a workshop for my second graders tomorrow getting ready for their First Reconciliation, and Becca has her middle school VB tournament so it is a busy weekend.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Pat- Too cool about Lily. Can I have her "pawtograph"? lol

Jane- Rest up this weekend. You'll need it come next week.

Rebecca- I'm also allergic to several antibiotics. I've wiped out about 8 classes of drugs. I worry about getting sick and not being able to take anything to get better.

Dianae- That is awesome about the grant. Congratulations.

So, it's Friday and I'm nosy...

What is your most favorite Thanksgiving sdie dish?

Mine is my Dad's mashed potatoes and turkey gravy.
