Happy Birthday Dew!
Yesterday I made a dash into town to mail a birthday card, put some checks in the bank, get some cracked corn and a deer block. Back home and worked on my Christmas calendars.
Here is an easy great holiday pumpkin recipe...
1 package spice cake mix
1 14oz can pumpkin
Mix ... loaf pan.... 350º 50-60 minutes

A cream cheese frosting is the BEST!

1/2 t. cinnamon
Whip all ingredients together until smooth & creamy.

A California boy, born in Chico.
Later I decided to clean out the fridge. Had a bunch of veggies so made vegetable/ravioli soup!



All the vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas, green beans, carrots, dehydrated mushrooms and bell peppers, and celery) went into the Crock Pot and the chicken stock and seasonings. 3 hours on high.

Then I added in a can of cheese sauce and a can of cream of potato soup... stirred will and added in the ravioli... cooked on high for an additional hour.


SUPER SOUP! Loved it!!!

Got leftovers. Yeah!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

December 2nd
National Fritters Day
Before you can begin to celebrate this very important day, you need to know what a "fritter" is. Many people do not know, making it all the more fun to eat your first fritter today. A fritter is a fried cake or dough with fruit or meats inside. 
Whatever you do, do not fritter this day away without eating at least one fritter.
Happy National Fritters Day!

Two things: 1) Ray Walston died from lupus at 86. I didn't know men got lupus. And 2) Your Jerry sure was a stone fox! I'm so sorry he is gone kiddo. And the irony of 12-2 to 2-12 is something! V

Good morning. What a nice tribute to your husband. And Georgia Sue. Her name fits her.

Haven't made fritters in a very long time. Breakfast for dinner? Sounds nice.

Oregon Sue said...

Thanks L. My Darling was awesome and taught me so many things. Fritters? Yummmmm.... Yes, breakfast for dinner. Also you can put tater tots in the waffle iron to make crunchy little things to eat with any meal. xo

It makes me sad that I only got to meet Jerry once briefly. Remember? It was at Rick Buhman's surprise birthday party here at the "night club" in Diamond Bar. I met you both that night. Yes that was such a sweet tribute to your darling.

That soup looks amazing! I kept thinking you were finished then you kept adding more stuff. OMG it looks so delicious and especially awesome on such cold weather days you are having. It's back in the 70's here today and for most of the week.

Hugs and again a very happy happy birthday to our Georgia Sue!

XOXO Trisha
