ABOUT MY BLOG

Hi, everyone I hope you will enjoy my blog. I am trying to copy our recipes from our family website that we had when MSM closed. I am just getting started and so bear with me while I try to do this. I have all kinds of new recipes that I get from different members of our family and from our churches  and showers as we are always having something that includes FOOD. lol. They may be like the recipes on  some other cooking sites as there are so many recipes  with the same ings. but with different names. So just check them all out. It will take a while to get them on here and I don't post to this blog every day. I don't do like most people and write on my blog every day also. I guess I am just to lazy. I like to write about the funny things that happen to all of us. NO we are not crazy but if you read my writings you might think so. lol. My son says he had never seen so much drama going on in a family like we have, but it is a big family so we never know what is going to happen from week to week. We could almost start a tv show. But anyway thanks for stopping by and just come back from time to time. Lynn

FRENCH FRY SAUCE

If you are like me and just love to dip about everything then try this easy sauce to dip in.
All you need in some good flavored ketchup and some mayo and black pepper. Now in
A bowl pour you out some ketchup and then add the same amount of mayo. Stir this up.
Now then you pour about a Teaspoon of black pepper over all of this. Stir again and add
Another Teaspoon of pepper and stir again. If you don't like black pepper then leave out
This has been around for years.
This a good dip for frys, chicken and cheese sticks
Or about anything you want to dip. Now my kids can't understand when I go out to eat and
get frys why mom sits there and puts packs of pepper in her ketchup to eat with frys. Just try it.
Have you ever bought a Frosty at Wendy's and dipped your frys in it. My kid's grew up doing
this and still do and so does dear old mom. Never to old to dip...........
