My Work In Progress
Its Saturday afternoon and we are awaiting the arrival of a blizzard. We've stocked up on milk and bread and other necessities and have settled in for ourselves. I'm working on the first afghan I've crocheted since I tore my rotor cuff and messed up my shoulder. I didn't think I would ever be able to crochet again due to the nerve damage in my hands, but as you can see, I am able to do so, much to my delight. The afghan I'm doing is called "Shower of Hearts" and I've posted 3 pictures of it. I know it looks complicated, but its really very easy.
As I'm typing this, the snow has started to fall. I love being all cozy in the house during a snowstorm, and I love the way the new fallen snow looks, but my interest ends there. It would be so good if it would just magically melt at that point.
Its always nice to have some good, stick to your ribs food in this kind of weather, so I've posted a delicious corn casserole recipe that I got from Paula Dean. I hope you enjoy it!
Corn Casserole
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with Cheddar. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.
