Good 42ยบ clear sunny morning.
So, it's been at least 5 days now since I have seen "my" geese. Obviously
they have eggs in their nest now and are keeping a close eye on it. This picture
was a couple months ago:
When the eggs hatch and the goslings learn to get about and fly they will
all take off and go back to where they spend the rest of the year... probably
down on the Evans Creek or the Rogue River. These are not "my" geese, but what a
nest and eggs looks like:
This is interesting... goslings first "flight" ......
Then as I was writing this about the geese, 12 Canadian Geese flew into my
upper pasture!
This is an easy scrumptious Corn Bake recipe from Mr. Food Test
Kitchen...
In the 19th century, folks went crazy for mining
shiny gold nuggets all over the U.S., but the
Native Americans treasured a different kind of
"gold." It was corn! With its popularity came
corn cakes, corn bread and even hot-from-the-
oven corn bakes, like our Gold Rush Corn Bake.
This updated corn casserole is to-die-for.
What You'll Need:
- 3 corn muffins, crumbled
- 4 teaspoons butter, melted, divided
- 1 (12-ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
- 1 (14-1/2-ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What To Do:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 1-1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine corn muffins and 2 tablespoons butter; mix well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine corn, creamed corn, egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper; mix well.
- Sprinkle one-third of corn muffin mixture in skillet. Top with half the corn mixture. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of corn muffin mixture.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until heated through and golden on top.

Observed
annually on May 19, National Devil’s Food Cake Day is enjoyed by chocolate cake
lovers throughout the country and around the world.
Devil’s
Food cake is a heavenly chocolate cake. It differs from a regular chocolate
cake by its darker color and tends to be more moist and airy. Devil’s Food cake
recipes use hot or boiling water as the primary liquid. Cocoa is typically
utilized in the batter, as opposed to chocolate, and coffee can be added for a
distinctive flavor. A delicious chocolate frosting usually accompanies the
cake.
Recipes
for Devil’s Food cakes often appeared alongside recipes for Angel Food cakes.
One of the earliest recipes appeared in the August 10, 1898, edition of
the Hagerstown
Exponent of Hagerstown,
Indiana.
