Amy, your quilts are absolutely gorgeous!  What patience (and talent) you have.

Well, I fixed a "po' folks supper tonight; leftover black-eyed peas, cornbread (which I kind of fancied up)didn't have a mess o' greens,  nor ham hock to go with it.  I did have a tall glass of cold buttermilk.  The fancying up of the cornbread was just the Jiffy mix, and I divided the milk with some broccoli cheese soup.  Made a good taste and the texture was good, not falling apart crumbly like usual.  I think my momma would have enjoyed this supper with me, but she would've fixed the "mess o' greens". 

Good morning..

Another busy day ahead, getting ready for company. We did get about 1-2 inches of snow during the night,nothing to worry about though. Garden seeds are in the grocery store and folks are snapping them up. I am going to pick some up before they are gone.

Tomereader, thank you.I find that quilting relaxes me, my quiet time.Plus it is fun to see it all come together. The one I am working on now has over 1700 pieces in it. What is a "mess o'greens? 

Better get busy..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

The predictions for snow keep coming and going. Hope it ends with going.

Me too!! They say we are to get 10" on Mon night into Tue.Hope they are right on that as we are off to the city for Kyles appointment. Told the nurse better give us a phone numbe in case we have to cancel......the joys of winter..

Gaahhhhh! Oscar just disappeared my post. I'll be back with an answer to your question Amy, if someone else hasn't already. It is obvious that he wants lunch.

I am back already. So, for Amy, et.al., a mess-of-greens is any (usually) combo of dark leafy greens such as kale, collard, chard, beet greens, etc. Note that they are all the tougher sorts of greenery. I've heard of people also adding cabbage; I think Bok Choi would be a good choice, but I never tried it with other greens. Blanch your greens, quickly, in salted water, then lightly sauté them in a little oil. Olive oil is good and so is bacon fat if you don't mind the cholesterol. Season if you want, your choice, or add bits of cooked bacon. I it is called a mess-of-greens because it is a very flexible, your choice kind of thing.

In case anyone misses it, Oldiesman just posted this an hour or so ago.

Thank you MG....sounds tasty all but the kale!!    I would try the Bok Choi and throw in garlic along with the bacon
 plus onions!   Had to look up collard greens, big leaf!!! Sounds like something we would enjoy.

Company is now coming tomorrow....guess I shall go sew. 

Don't forget the "turnip greens" which is mostly what we used here.  You can now buy collard greens in the grocery stores here.  Not a lot of choice way back then. 

I've always wanted to try Bok Choy, but haven't yet.  I saw a recipe the other day that called for Bok Choy but I forgot where I saw it!

Good Morning Exeryfriend!!!  When I finish here I'll be packing up my computer.  My daughter Cathy will be on her way to pick me up later today and I'll be heading home  i've truly enjoyed my visit with my sister but I'm ready to be back in my own digs!

I wish you all a great day!  Make it your own in every way   

Good morning...

Company coming today for lunch. After that I am heading to the sewing room.

Jane, nice to get away but also nice to come home to your own bed. Cooper will be so glad to see you!!!

Tomereader ,turnip greens are another that we haven't (yet) ate..


Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning from the Interior at minus nine. Our weather has been all over the place these past few weeks but came with nine inches of new snow since we last spoke on December 21st. We only have 0.02 left on the ground, but more snow is due today.

My previous computer died of mechanical failure, not virus related, and I'm so glad I had those external drives and didn't lose all.

I'm back today with a new laptop and Bubble's help, and so very happy to be back online. I'll be catching up here and elsewhere for days.

Likewise, I see Jane's on a trip, Amy's quilting, and Rick and Callie's out bird watching. Thanks, Rick, for the sites, and I'll be back to those I bookmarked.

MG, I don't think I'd like those breads that come with their own pathogens, I'm not one to live dangerously.

I've had lots of greens in my life with both sets of in laws from Kentucky; but I've never acquired a taste for them. I believe it's a regional taste. My relatives were solidly midwestern, and their tastes leaned more to pork, beef, corn, onions and potatoes with lots of spicy sauces.

Oh woe is me, my Facebook account that I never had, has been hacked by, gasp!, Russia!

I must immediately reply to their address so they can save me and of course my non-existent Facebook account...or not.

How stupid would I have to be to answer that, and they're not the only would be savior in my email's spam folder. All of them satiating to save my nonexistent Facebook account!

Company is gone and now time to just relax!!!
We did get a wee bit of snow but nothing to worry about.
Patricia, great to see you in here. ( nailing Patricia's shoes to the floor so she stays put!!!)


Jane, are we back to normal yet? Do we ever get to being back to normal......always something going on.

Ok, time to get in pjs and lounge

Hello Everyfriend!  I'm home but I'm not sure is we can say "normal"!  Everything changes every minute!  I'm still doing the thing with my eyes and it takes every spare minute I have.  I'm not all unpacked yet and I have to read all the newspapers that came while I was gone! 

We're supposed to get a major snowstorm beginning tomorrow afternoon.  It will be the first of the season and they are predicting up to 14 inches of snow.  I don't plan to go anywhere and I don't expect any company.  Frankie is off work for the weekend and she will probably spend it at home.  I sure hope she doesn't try to drive in it!

Now I'm heading for the haystack as soon as I do one last thing with my eyes.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy day tomorrow.  Make it your own in every way!

Good Morning to me and whoever stops by today.  I'm finished with my breakfast and I'm going to make the bed and get started on my eyeballs for the day.  I wish you all a good one and I'm going to be looking out the windows to see if it starts to snow.  Make your day the best one yet!

Good morning...

Tad chilly out there this morning temp of 21° at the moment. Will see if I hang out the laundry on the solar dryer or not when daylight wakes.


Jane, David said you were in for some snow  so he opted to go another direction. He heads out on Sun so I hope the weather is better.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Jane, looks like you put us to bed last night and woke us up this morning. I'm glad you are back home before the storm.

It looks like it is to start snowing here around 9:30-10:00am here. Every time I look, the weather forecast changes as to how much we will get. Right now it seems to be 6-8 inches. I[m probably going to have to call someone to help dig me out of this one.

Patricia, it's great to see you posting again. I hope you enjoy your new laptop.

Good morning --- and - Our "snowcast" also keeps changing. Now it shows just a bit today, and some real snow tomorrow. Maybe at midnight tonight it will change again (I hope).

Good morning, minus 18 and clear out there, so I'm glad I'm indoors. So far, our weather has been unusually warm for a normally frigid month. The highs and lows are all over the place, instead of uniformly frigid.

Our meet and greets are starting to be more texts than calls, but that's okay as long as we hear from everyone.

Other than that, everything is the same here with daily chores, indulging Farrah and catching up on those past 14 days accumulation.

Well they were right!  The snow started around noon and it's really coming down!  We're supposed to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 or more inches.  My neighbor just called to tell me he's not going to do any plowing until after the township clears the road and then he'll do his driveway and mine.  We went shopping for the snow blower together at WM and used his knowledge and my discount and we paid the rest together and he does my driveway.  Seems like a pretty good deal to me!

I don't have anywhere to that I NEED to go so I'm okay with that!

I made a batch of "Jim's Egg Thingys" today so I'm ready for breakfast.  I think I'll stick something in the crock pot tomorrow.  Haven't decided what just yet.  I'm still looking for the recipe that AMY wants from me and so far, no luck finding it.  I have two more places to look and then I'll have to give up!

Now I better go get ready for som eye drops!  Seems like that's all I do these days!  Have a great day, Everyfriend!  Make it your own in every way! 

Jane. no hurry..we still have some soup to clean up. We did get snow also....not a lot and I do hope that the 1/2 inch is all we get!

It's snowing here now, but the forecast has changed again. Now there is only a short time in tomorrow's forecast for snow. Also, most of tonight there will be NO snow. But weather forecasters have been known to be wrong.

Well, it's still snowing out there!  We're going to be under it!

AMY, I've given up looking for the soup recipe.  I'm going to try one more thing.  Does anyone have SHIRLEY'S Taco Soup Recipe?  She gave it to me and I thought she posted it but I can't find it in the recipes.  I'm down to my next to the last jar and was thinking I'd soon have to make more when AMY asked me for the recipe!  I CAN'T FIND IT!  I know she sent it directly to me and I know I copied it off and saved it.  But I CAN'T FIND IT!

Now I'm going to go get my jammies on and think about sleeping!  I think church tomorrw will be on line!

I had a message from daughter Cathy that they took her hubby to the hospital today.  The took excess fluid from around his heart and out of his ankles and I'm not sure what else.  He's there at least overnight!  Prayers for Craig would be welcome!  Thanks!

Jane, - You must have that recipe somewhere because you have made it multiple times --- according to a S&F Search. Bet it's handy somewhere in the kitchen.
Did you check old emails?

JANE...
...is this it from SHIRLEY.. if anyone wants the one for taco soup, can condense it down for here...

September 15, 2019, 02:22:27

Good Morning Everyfriend!

JACKIE, that is the recipe she was talking about but I didn't see the actual recipe.  Is it posted somewhere?  I guess I'm blinder than I  thought if it's there!  HELP!

Good morning...

Looks like the music will start to clean up the driveway and out back for the dogs. Can't really tell but it looks like 3-4 inches of nes snow and thankfully it is fluffy!

Need to deliver a quilt this morning then home to chase dust kangaroos.

Jane, I posted two recipes that I found on the internet, the second one looks good to me minus the green chilies How much snow did you get there?

Rick ,did you get a lot of snow your way?

Better get ready for the dance..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Jane...
...that was the closest i got to the recipe you are looking for...I am sure it will show itself when the least we expect it...
