<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I just love driving around and spotting these old chimneys. The houses or cabins they have warmed are gone. Yet, here they are. Beautiful reminders of warm nights, chilly mornings, stockings hung?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This chimney I spotted last week with a friend. We were waiting to go look at a cabin and had some time to kill. We went exploring and picture taking. This particular chimney the owners had incorporated into their yard as a sculpture. They had a beautiful garden. Lot's of flower beds with yard in between. The chimney was loved here.</span>Elizabeth Goldenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05721884281634134504noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251227982965497529.post-80856394180809903912015-09-24T19:50:00.000-04:002015-09-24T20:39:48.518-04:00Banana Pudding Pie<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have been craving comfort food lately. Maybe it is the change of the seasons. The cooler nights. Whatever it is, Banana Pudding Pie is one of those comfort foods I have been wanting. This is the "from scratch recipe". It is just as easy as substituting a store bought crust and vanilla pudding. It just tastes so much better. It is very easy and most of all you deserve it!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Crust:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">2 cups of crushed vanilla wafer cookies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">1/8 teaspoon kosher salt</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Filling:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 medium bananas, thinly sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 tablespoons cornstarch</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 3/4 cups whole milk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 large egg yolks</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 tablespoons unsalted butter,cubed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon vanilla extract</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Get out a nine inch pie plate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the crust: In a medium bowl, stir together the crushed vanilla wafer cookies, butter and salt. Using the bottom of the measuring cup, press the mixture into bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bake until light golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Set on a wire rack to cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the Filling: Place sliced bananas in bottom of cooled crust. Set aside.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in milk and egg yolks until combined. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla.<br />
<br />
Spoon the filling over the bananas on the crust. Let cool for 10 minutes. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.<br />
<br />
To Serve: Spread whipped cream or a whipped topping on the surface of the filling. Garnish with whole cookies around the edges and cookie crumbs on top.<br />
Enjoy!</div>

Every year I wonder if I am ready for Fall. It is one of the prettiest seasons. Then again I can find beauty in all of the seasons. Makes it hard to like one season over another. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fall is full of apples, spices, soups and stews. Crisp air. Beautiful scenery. The beginning of the end so to speak. I have learned to appreciate what each season represents and has to offer. Time to go apple picking. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A couple of weeks ago my Iphone blew up. It was my third Iphone in fours years. Needless to say I was extremely upset. The first time I sort of got it. I had been out in the middle of nowhere for an extended period of time. Searching for a cell tower fried it. Literally. The screen made this funny noise and then dissolved into black. It was time for an upgrade anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The second time it just died. No excuse. The third time I woke up and that little Apple icon was just blinking every 5 seconds. I went on line and followed all the instructions. Nothing worked. Called Apple and was told to take it to my nearest Apple store and they might be able to restore it. Of course, the nearest Apple store is in another state. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It is a phone people. Why do I have to go to another State/South Carolina to have you look at my phone. Crazy. So, I dumped my Iphone. I know. I got online and researched. Guess what? Iphones are prone to lots of problems. There cameras are inferior. I found what I was looking for and decided to make a leap. I could always go back...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I went to my phone provider. Told my woeful story. As I was in the middle of my saga, in walked this young girl with her Iphone. It was doing the same thing mine was doing. She was in shock, but decided she would try the Apple store. It was a sign. I decided to look at all the phones I had researched. Then set my agent into finding the best deal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The long and short of it is I went with the Samsung s6. I love the size, the camera 16MP in my back camera compared to 8MP in the Iphone, 5MP on my front camera and the Iphone is 1.2MP. Much more Ram and a faster charger. I did not get the Edge. I did not like the way it felt in my hand. I could go on and on. Plus every Techy magazine, blog, etc. raved about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They were right. I was utterly amazed. It is so easy, the Apps are great. But let me tell you the camera is Quality. It brings taking pictures with your phone to a new level. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The picture in this post is a photo I took. I used a background I had to soften and give it an edge. I have not a clue what the flower is. I tried to look it up under flowers then weeds and came up blank. If any body knows would you mind letting me know. I would like to know. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">[I found the flowers while waiting at a closed shop up in the mountains to meet someone. The shop was next to an abandoned foundation of an old house. I got out of my car to take some pictures and there they were. These delicate blooms. So white and pure...]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Double click on the picture and see how beautiful the camera did.</span>Elizabeth Goldenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05721884281634134504noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251227982965497529.post-15991987445532375332015-09-07T15:30:00.000-04:002015-09-07T16:34:43.663-04:00What we are Celebrating this Labor Day...<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These images represent what we should be celebrating this Labor Day. The Laws that guarantee everyone in this wonderful country that when you are at work you have rules and regulations that make sure you are safe. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
That our children are in schools not factories or some other dangerous place. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That they are getting an education. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I look at these pictures by Lewis Hines and others and wonder if I could ever have let my boys leave the house to work in such conditions. Hard to believe that just a few decades ago I would have thought this was normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today would have been my father's 95th birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy! I miss him everyday, several times a day. I woke up thinking how ironic it was that today was his birthday. As I watched the sun rise over the mountains I remembered some of his stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see my father was greatly affected by the Depression. His mother died. He and his brothers were sent to live with his grandmother. They had to earn their keep. My dad started out the morning at the local dairy. He and his brothers delivered the milk. My father ran the milk bottles to the different houses. Picked up the used bottles and left the full bottles. He had trouble with one of his thumbs where one of the bottles broke and he was cut. Another time, he was running across the street to get back to the milk truck and was hit by a car. Thank goodness the cars were light weight then.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of this was done before school. After school he delivered papers. It was a big deal when he finally was able to get a used bicycle. Living in Central Florida where there are lots of Orange Groves. He worked afternoons and weekends picking oranges and sometimes Pecans. There was very little time to do anything but work, study and church. He was kept very busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My Father had such a way of telling us stories. They were not just about the hardships but about how their hard work paid off. He told me once he was such a good football player in high school and college because he had dodged so many things delivering milk. I would give anything to hear another story. To ask another question.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wondered today if I had taught my boys enough. If they had heard enough stories. Would they continue to grow into such great hard working men. As I looked across the valley and the sun shone on me, I realized I have to have faith. Just like all those mother's who sent their boys into the mines, or to the factories and fields. They will be safe, they will work hard, they know the stories.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
it and every recipe is delicious. My </div>

the reigning queen's of Pimento Cheese.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cherry Peppers or Pimentos</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First I want to talk about what is a</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pimento? It is a Cherry pepper. It is </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
very mild and sweet. Very low on the hot</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
scale. I buy them in the jar. However, you</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
can make your own by buying the peppers and</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
preparing them. Just saute them and slice them up. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My recipe is:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup of mayonnaise</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 4 ounce jar of diced or sliced pimentos, drained</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay that is the basic recipe. Now you can add all sorts of stuff according to your taste. I am giving you what I add to make it delicious.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a dash of Worcestershire sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
salt and pepper to taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once you have assembled your ingredients put them all in a large bowl. Take your mixer and mix on medium to combine all the ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Refrigerate to set up around a half hour or so. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now you have made your Pimento Cheese you can decide how to eat it. There are so many ways. You can serve it as a dip with crackers. Here in the South we like it as a sandwich spread. Two pieces of white bread, spread on the Pimento Cheese. I like my crust cut off. Or, a grilled Pimento Cheese for breakfast or lunch is delicious. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Into the dinner hour, Pimento Cheese makes a great stuffing for chicken breast. Slice them open, put in a spoonful or two of Pimento Cheese. Close with a toothpick or string. Brown chicken breast in frying pan then put in a baking pan and bake till chicken is done. Delicious. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't forget Pimento Cheese and your burgers. It make a wonderful topping. Or you can fill your burger with Pimento Cheese, grill, add a thick slice of tomato and have a truly gourmet taste treat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course there is the BLT with Pimento Cheese, either grilled or not. Did I mention Pimento Cheese spread on an English Muffin with your favorite egg on top? The list goes on and on. Truly a versatile and staple to any kitchen. Enjoy. </div>
