It’s been a few years since we’ve seen this A&J from 1993. Have you ever noticed how many of those quickie casserole recipes on Facebook include potatoes, cheese, ham or bacon, corn, sour cream and a variable ingredient or two? Of course they’ll be good! Most of the Kickstarter rewards that were scheduled for delivery in October have been sent. The T shirts did not go out until Monday, the last day of the month, so if you’re expecting a T, it might not have arrived yet. It should soon. However! The original sketches have not gone out yet. They will be sent by this time next week. I apologize for the delay; I’m sure you won’t have much trouble speculating about its cause.

You OK, hon?
Yes, I remember the g-string. Back in the day, worn on stage by female strippers when they performed.
These days, worn by various and sundry females for work, casual wear and, one supposes, to church…now known as “thongs”.
That assumes they are still as popular as they apparently were a few years ago. Are they?
Popular with wearers or us viewers? Peace,
Not casserole it is HOT DISH have to call it as it is π π

Unsure. Usually only wear bras. Probably should revive girdles. Own drawers full of lingerie but don’t buy what is euphemistically called body control.
It does eliminate what are referred to as panty lines though.
Think I should skip the wine in the tub routine. Tonight I knocked wine glass into tub. Luckily had drunk most of wine. Maybe I need a plastic cup?
Do they make adult Sippy Cups? Why, yes, they do.

Ghost, you can find Alton’s recipes at foodnetwork.com.
Back when I was young, I used to use boxed mac and cheese, canned mushrooms and tuna to make a tuna mac and cheese casserole. Not bad, but way too many carbs for me now.

Good morning Villagers….
So we ‘fall back’ tomorrow night, I love the way Jimmy kindly reminds us. I wondered when it was coming, then I noticed the sunrise time on the ten day forecast ‘fell back’, going to get a bit nibbly tomorrow night…..39 degrees…..
…..and the ‘purge’ has begun. They’re not coming back until Monday….feedings gone since Thursday….my Miss Prissies are starving to death. All Hispanic work team, when we left yesterday, one was standing on top of them in the truck trailer packing them down….I wanted to cry.
Got a lead on a job. Sewing uniforms. Going into town Monday and put application in, will take Ian also, he needs job too. It’s a contract job with the government and also offers health insurance, I need that too. Can’t find my prescription eye glasses, but I did get a pair of reading glasses at |Dollar General, will need them to work.
gotta go
…as Jackie said TR, be careful, pray you recover soon.
GR π still struggling
two greats on one stage…hope this works

Jackie, is Mark still with you or did he go home?
GM too Old Bear…..
Debbe π still praying for you
Mark is home, new home that is. Things are settling out, but the new internet provider is causing some problems with employer’s software. IT is working to find out whether problem is on their end or mine.
Good luck with job search Debbe. Hope you find something even better than the last job soon.
Good morning all. It is overcast here and I just woke up. This is day I have sworn to go through my desk, mail and accumulated piles. I think I will take cork out of that wine and have it for breakfast!
Wait, it was last night I was to do that. I didn’t and I have a sink full of dirty dishes. Hope dishwasher is empty! Everyone loves my cooking but no one does dishes for me. I miss Glen, my deputy. He cleaned if I fed him. But he had four wives, past, so he had learned either with or between wives.
By the way, I discovered one of my old and most serious boyfriends is actually alive, looks good and has all his hair according to his brother. He has so many ex wives his brother is unsure how many, thinks more than my ex housekeepers seven! I would just have been one of many!
Funny, that.
My question is why do they keep marrying them? My ex employee said her longest marriage was a little over two years I think? Or maybe that was just an average?
F 4 Nov. Frank & Ernest is basically true. Have found lots of similar goofs in essays and short-answer quizzes.

Peace,
They say a second marriage is the triumph of Hope over Experience. I’m not sure what they say about marriages three through seven.
Arlo should know by now that the best use of that extra hour is to sleep, or maybe to read in bed.
I came across this just when I needed it most: “One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change.” ~ Unknown
Ghost and Jackie:
Yeah Alton Brown’s recipe is the one that I followed…for the most part. It was a hit.
About a week ago I mentioned that I received an email about being on a television show. Have not received a follow up, but I can say that the show will be on the Food Network. Still early in the process, but I will let everyone know if it happens.
“unsure how many, thinks more than my ex housekeepers seven!”

‘Enery the 8th I am, I am.
I got married to the widow next door;
She’d been married 7 times before.
Every one was an ‘Enery;
she wouldn’t have a Willie or a Sam.
I’m an 8th Old Man named ‘Enery,
‘Enery the 8th I am.

Funny. I remember Enry the Eighth. Had not heard that quote. Stuck it out, even in bad times, although I often threatened, including a premature Viking funeral.
Has anyone here heard a tradition of putting a green light bulb on front porch to signify support for veterans? The Ace Hardware sold me one for Veteran’s Day or to leave up year round. They said blue lights to signify support for police force.
OK, remember the song House of Blue Lights?
Alton Brown’s green bean casserole was one my daughter does. I agree, it is delicious.
My cousin, bless her she has passed, used to make a really barfy one called a Vegall casserole, named for brand of canned mixed vegetables. I ate one spoonful so memory is vague but Campbell’s soup, Velveeta cheese were definitely in it.
Here is Veg All casserole recipe link.
Or not. It involves stick of butter, onions, mayonnaise, cheese, two cans of mixed canned vegs, canned soup and Ritz crackers.
My favorite casserole, if it can be called that, is Oysters Bienville, omitting shells and cooking big pan of the oysters as a side dish with toast points. Used as appetizer, in pastry shells or on buffets as dip. Rockefeller can be done same way.
My favorite sweet potato casserole is more of a souffle with raisins, currants often in it and a praline topping. I once took cooking seriously, veryou seriously.
