LOUISE'S STRAWBERRY CAKE
Louise's Strawberry Cake
This recipe came from my neighbor and good friend. This is so good and different. I don't know if you can still find the Instant Strawberry Pudding or not. I know Walmart did carry it under their brand and Kroger did have it.
1 Box of Strawberry Cake Mix
3 Boxes of Instant Large Strawberry Pudding Mix
1 Medium Cool Whip
MIx cake mix up in a bowl according to instructions on box. Spray pan and Bake in a 9 x 13 pan for 30 minutes. Let cool. Punch holes in it..
Frosting:
Put Instant pudding in a bowl and add the milk Make sure you read the directions I think it calls for three cups instead of two.. I add a cup extra. It will just make more frosting. I think these may be small boxes if they are make sure you buy three. Put the pudding over all the top and in the holes of cake.
Put the cool whip on top of cake. Keep ref.

THANKSGIVING AND THE MOP
While we were all sitting around talking this year after our Thanksgiving dinner we began telling about some of the crazy things we had done when we first got married. So they remembered what my husband done to me on one of our first Thanksgiving dinners.
Our family had met at our trailer for Thanksgiving dinner back in the 70's. We had just got married and being only 19 years old we were still kids. I had worked most of the time after school and on the weekends so I did not know nothing about cooking as my mom worked also and we really never cooked a lot of new things back then and we did not have Food TV network to teach use how to cook. It was just old time grub and mainly basic stuff.
Anyway we were having dinner at our house that year and my mom and dad and in-laws were all there helping cook. We were trying to get it all done before all of the rest of the crew landed in. lol.
My husband wanted a drink of cold water out of the fridge. So I gave him a glass and told him to pour some. I went on about doing what ever it was and he came back in the kitchen and said that the water tasted like Kool-Aid. I had cleaned the pitcher but it must have still left a taste in it so I told him to get the mop and just reclean it. I noticed he left the kitchen and never paid any attention to what he did with the pitcher. My new Tupperware one. He was gone for a while and here he came back in the kitchen and said I can't get the mop down in the pitcher. Now what had he done, he had went outside, got my mop that I mop with and tried to stick it down in the pitcher to clean it. No he is not crazy, just did not know nothing about cooking or cleaning. It was my fault because the mop
I wanted him to use was my dish-mop which I had in my dishwater. They have never let us live that one down and that has been 30 years ago. So be carefual what you ask your husband to do in your kitchen. He still don't know how to cook, which he was always gone working in the coal mines during most of our marriage, and now is, To Over The Hill, to learn lol. I think he can boil a egg and use the microwave and george foreman grill for a hamburger. Also fix a egg sandwich but that is about it. His excuse, if I learn how to cook now you will never do no cooking. Isn't that just like a man. Hay, I need a break sometime. But I still enjoy cooking and getting new recipes.

HOW TO BOIL A EGG
For all of those who don't know how to boil eggs. This is how you do it. After my daughter called Thanksgiving asking me why her eggs was cracking and the whites was coming out of the shell, she wanted to know what was wrong. So I told her. She had put the water on to boil. Then she put the eggs in. lol. Now I thought everyone knew that you do not put cold eggs in hot water. You put the eggs in a kettle of cold water, add some salt so the eggs will peel good then turn the stove on and boil them for 10 minutes or more to your liking. I guess she takes back after me asking my mom how to make a egg. lol.

NEW GIFT FOR US LADIES FOR CHRISTMAS
I found a new site that is making a coupon tote bag for all of us gals who do coupons. How many times do you get in a store and find something that is on sale that you never got the ad for and have to stop and dig and dig for your coupon for it. You have to get out of the way of other shoppers and then they look at you like you might put someting in your purse. lol. when you put your coupons back in your purse. Believe me you can save money with coupons and get a lot of things free. That is why I can't wait each week to get my newsletters from savingwithamy or thebarginbuggy. Anyway this new site makes tote bags for your coupons and they are so pretty. I am planning on getting me one for Christmas from my hubby lol. I carry my coupons in a enevlope I got from vocal point that had some coupons in it and it is not thick as the coupon purses are. But anyway check this site out. I am not in no way promoting their site . I just found this and wanted to share it with you all maybe you can get you one for Christmas or a Birthday or etc. They are really nice. http://www.stylinbinders.blogspot.com/

PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD
This is one of the old time recipes for a quick sandwich or as a dip. Some people even eat this with biscuits or on Ritz crackers. .
Peanut Butter Spread
1 cup peatnut butter smooth or crunchy I like Peter Pan
1/2 cup clear Karo syrup
1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Mix all together and if it is to thick add some more syrup to it. You just have to work with this to get it how you like it. You also can use the dark Karo syrup.
You can also take dark Karo syrup or maple flavored pancake syrup and mix in with softened butter and eat this with a biscuit for breakfast. One of the old timer recipes.

1 cup peatnut butter smooth or crunchy I like Peter Pan
1/2 cup clear Karo syrup
1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Mix all together and if it is to thick add some more syrup to it. You just have to work with this to get it how you like it. You also can use the dark Karo syrup.

HOW TO MAKE A EGG
While sitting eating my egg biscuit my mind goes back to when I first got married and I called my mom to ask her how to make a egg. Her reply, I don't know. Now my mom being a christian and the wife of a preacher sure would not lie. I ask her what do you mean by that and she said the chicken makes the eggs and I have never made one. lol.
When my daughter got married she ask her husband would he like a egg sandwich. Yes, he said. So she made him one our way. He did not know what to think. He had been used to eat scrambled eggs on light bread for a sandwich. So there are many ways to make a egg sandwich. Our way is you take a large egg and beat it up in a bowl. Add salt and pepper and have a small skillet with about one tablespoon of oil in it and you add the egg to this on low and let it cook and then flip it over to the other side and let it cook but don't let it get brown as it will sure ruian the taste. Put it on sandwich bread with Miracle Whip of course. Now that is a egg sandwich.
My husband loves a slice of cheese on his. Now me, I love to put a egg in a skillet like I am going to fry it and burst the yellow and let it fry until the yellow is done and then flip it over on the other side and let it fry until it it done and add black pepper to it, the more the better and put between a home-made biscuit or a frozen Grand Biscuit that has been baked. Nothing like it with a hot cup of coffee.
I just wish I could make biscuits like McDonalad's does. I don't know if it is the butter they use or what , I have tried and tried to get that flavor and get mine to come out thick like theirs are but just can't do it altho I have been baking biscuits for around 30 years. lol.
Boy I wish I had some of those good ole fresh brown eggs like you could get years ago now that was a good egg.
Now if you can't cook like my husband he has learned how to fix a egg in the microwave for a sandwich. Just beat up a egg, salt and pepper it. Put it in one of the small round sterfoam bowls and cook for 1 minute and put on bread. That is his way. It is pretty good with cheese added. Just adjust the time for your microwave so it will be done.. Don't overcook it or you will be eating rubber. No it does not stick to the bowl.

THANKSGIVING AND MY GRAND-DOG
After losing my grand-dog last week I am still so sad. It just don't seem real to me that he is gone. He was a black lab and one of the biggest babies going. If he could talk he would have been almost human. Everytime you came around he came running wanting you to pat his head and play. Oh, yea, he loved UK. He loved to play basketball with his little UK ball. He was buried with it and his little toys. We were told that most black dogs get cancer. I did not know that because he was only 7 years old and we had raised him from a puppy. He had a large mass in his lungs.
A few years back my other grand-dog, Dartang, a little yorkie now gone thought he would have his own Thanksgiving dinner. My son had went to some friends house for dinner and they had to much turkey left so they gave it to him to bring home. He brought his dishes back and sit them in the kitchen nook and laid the turkey in a ziplock bag on the table also. Well he forgot the turkey and went and laid down. He heard his poodle barking at the bedroom door of course telling on Dartang. When he got up oh boy what a mess. There was turkey all the way from the living room to the kitchen . Dartang was sitting there having his Thanksgiving dinner and boy was my son mad. But it was his fault. lol. Now how did a little yorkie get up in a chair and climb on a table. Still don't know. But he did. Of course Cody just had to tell but I bet he had some to. What a mess to clean up on beige carpet. Now another story is about some blueberry muffins. My son came in and left his bag with some blueberry muffins that were expensive to buy sitting on top of his coffee table. I think this time he left and went somewhere. When he got back there was blueberry everywhere. On the couch , the floor ,on the dogs. This time it was worse because they took a direaha that would not end. So this Thanksgiving remember your dogs and get them a treat also because it may be the last one you may have with them. Patch was always standing at the door sniffing the good smells of cooking and waiting for that big turkey leg. Maybe him and Dartang can have dinner this year in dogie heaven together.

LOU'S NEW CHICKEN CASSEROLE
One of my friends gave me her new recipe of a chicken casserole. It is different from the one I make so maybe you all would like this one.
Lou's Chicken Casserole
4 chicken breasts cooked or can use chicken tenders , etc.
2 cans of Campbell's cream of chicken soup
1 can of chicken broth
1 box of Stovetop stuffing
1 stick of butter
3 medium onions, chopped
1 or 2 bags of shredded cheddar cheese
Use a 9 x 12 pan. I like to use a glass , don't like to leave anything in metal overnight.
Cook chicken and you can save the broth if you do not have a can of chicken broth. In a bowl pour both cans of cream of chicken soup or if you like, you can use a can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken soup.. Add enough broth to make it soupy. In bottom of pan put the shredded chicken , I just tear if apart so it is not in big chunks. If breasts are real big you can pound them out so they are not so thick. Then add the soup mixture. Next add the layer of chopped onions. Then put the cheese over this. May take two packs, ever how much cheese you like. Then make up the Stovetop dressing according to instructions on box. I think you use a stick of butter. Put this all over the top of the cheese. Put foil over this and bake around 30 minutes on 350. Don't let it burn on top. You will see it bubbling. Don't let it over- bake or it will be to dry. I just bake until it bubbles and onions are done. Keep leftovers ref.
