The Sewing Mom

I’m late with this, but I have a VIP in my house this week (my mom!) and we’ve been super busy. I have a project almost finished that I can’t wait to share with you, but for now, I’m going to post my favorite meme, Four Foods on Friday, hosted by Valmg.

This week’s questions and my answers:

1. What do you do with turkey leftovers? This year, my husband make a big pot of turkey soup and I made a turkey pot pie. Of course, we always have turkey sandwiches!

2. How do you make split pea soup? I don’t care for split pea soup so I don’t make it.

3. What do you like on top of your pie? Most pie flavors I eat by themselves, I don’t care for ala mode, but pumpkin pie has to have a good whip cream!

4. What kind of turkey do you usually buy? I buy whatever is on sale. This year I had a Jenny-O brand and it was quite tasty.

Wanted to post this earlier, but time got away from me. I ran a couple of errands this morning after dropping my daughter off at school and before working my morning shift. When I got off work at noon I headed to the grocery store to pick up a few items and just got home and ate some lunch. So, I’m finally sitting down to write my favorite post of the week, Four Foods on Friday.

Without further ado, here are this weeks questions and my answers:

1. How do you make mashed potatoes? I peel and cut up potatoes and boil them until they are soft. I add milk, butter and salt and beat with my mixer until all the lumps are gone and they are creamy in texture.

2. What do you wash pots and pans with? Some pots I put in the dishwasher, others I was in hot water with Palmolive dish soap and a soft dishrag.

3. Name something red in your refrigerator right now. Strawberry jam.

4. Do you prefer to use boullion cubes or the boullion powder mix? I prefer powder, I can never seem to get the cubes to dissolve all the way!

There is one simple question this week.

You’re making an ice cream sundae. What four ingredients do you want in it?

First, I have to start with hard vanilla ice cream (but will take soft serve!)

1. Hershey’s chocolate sauce
2. strawberries
3. pineapple sauce
4. whip cream

It’s been so busy around here this month I’ve barely had time to keep up with anything, including this blog.  I’m trying, but I’m also staring at a family room that truly needs cleaning, so I’m going to post my favorite meme, Four Foods on Friday and then start some house cleaning! I was actually let off early from work this morning, so I’m going to do my best to make the most of it.

Here are this weeks questions and my answers.

1. What’s your favorite flavor of Italian Ice? I actually don’t know if I’ve ever had an Italian ice!

2. Watermelon. So you prefer seeded or seedless? I prefer seedless, but sometimes they don’t have as much flavor.

3. Ice cream. Do you prefer soft serve or hard? I prefer hard most of the time, but a good soft serve cone is pretty tasty now & then!

4. Ice pops. What kind is your favorite? I love the red ones and the purple too.

Valmg is doing some updating to her blog and also making some possible changes to this meme. Don’t forget to visit her and leave her a link if you’re going to participate!

We’re heading out of town this weekend, driving to Indiana for my nephews wedding.  I’ll be taking my laptop with me, but not too sure about how much time I might actually have to use it.  I’m sure I’ll be missing many, many EC drops and I apologize for that.

Before we leave though, I wanted to post my favorite meme.  If you’d like to participate, be sure to visit Fun, Crafts and Recipes.

Here are this week’s four questions. Valmg is trying something a little different again to spice things up!

#1. Do you cook items besides meat on the bbq grill, and, do you prefer gas or charcoal grills? I do cook fish and veggies on the grill. I’ve heard of desserts that can be grilled, but I’ve never tried that.

#2. Name a food that begins with A. Avacado

#3. Name a drink that begins with A. Apple Cider

#4. Share  a recipe for something that calls for American Cheese. I just tried this one out for the 4th of July and it was a hit.

Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

16 oz cooked elbow macaroni (I used the large size macaroni)
4 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
4 slices American Cheese

Mix all ingredients in a greased crock pot. Place 4 slices American Cheese on top. Cook on low 3-4 hours.
