Sharon stopped for a quick visit and it was great seeing her. She has to walk with a walking stick for balance. It is concerning that she has a 5 hour drive ahead of her from Des Moines, but she manages the drive okay. I made a care package for her, grapes/cheese, water, and Dad bought Dutch Letters from Pella, so I sent 3 home with her.
I wanted to share a couple of shortcut ideas for cooking and you may already be doing this as well. But here it goes
I micro wave 3 baking potatoes for potato salad instead of boiling a pan of potatoes. 3 works us + 3 to 4 eggs, celery, sweet pickles and we still have a little left over. Eric and Shelley uses pickle relish instead and that makes it a faster process too.
If you make the 3 bean salad, you can now buy green and yellow beans together in a can. Add kidney beans, onion and the dressing and that is a quick healthy salad.
**** Grandma sent a box of recipes home with me to give to you. I sorted through them and kept about 10. We must remember to thank her for them.
It was enjoyable sorting through the recipes because the ones she kept were Grandma through and through.
The majority were pie recipes, some salads. The baking and canning kept her going for so long.
OH, I use hosta leaves in flower arrangements. Do you have hostas?
Dad bought me some get well flowers last week and they still gook great. The leaves were dying so I added the hostas leaves and the arrangement looks very nice. Sweet Dad! He has really been a sweetheart.
Okay enough babbling. I know that you are a busy lady so thanks for calling this morning.
