They Let Me Cook

When The Gilbert's, Fishers and Morrills get together, I know I will be asked to bring two things, the soda and the chips. You may notice that neither of these originates in my kitchen and that is purposeful. My friend Heidi always puts on a delicious spread and doesn't need an amateur messing things up. Imagine my surprise then, when our pre-Easter meal on Friday included a request that I make a side dish. And make one I did....a very easy crockpot recipe for creamed corn. It's SO easy, even I can make it!


Creamy Corn
20 oz . Bag of frozen corn
2 T sugar
8oz cubed cream cheese 1/4 cup softened butter
6 T of water
Mix all the ingredients and leave them on low heat, cooking for 4 hours.



It's great recipe!... Just like the recipe for fun are the Morrills, the Gilberts and a dash of Don and Deb mixed in.

Springing For A New Truck




Well, you wouldn't know it from Maine's weather, but spring has arrived and hopefully bringing with it a bit more motivation for me in the blogging department. I've had a winter full of noteworthy events and not many posts to show for it. I think a winter recap is in order. I'll get right on that....probably.
However! That is the past. In the present I am typing away and keeping current. Today was a typical school day at home except for Nolan spontaneously donning mittens and attempting to make ice cream from the can of useless, soupy whipped cream that Jubal degassed. Not a bad result, actually.


In the early evening, Jim arrived home in his work truck, newly customized by Jubal. Last Saturday, at a job site with Jim, Jubal learned the hard way that the vehicle door should be closed while driving in reverse toward a dumpster. Oddly enough things don't turn out well when doors and dumpsters meet.





Needless to say, this is not the most professional way to arrive at a job site so tonight Jim and I headed to Cape Elizabeth and picked up another truck. About a month ago Jubal dented the van bumper while practicing parallel parking and now this.... And all before he even takes his driver's test on the 26th.(sigh) I hope this isn't a trend.
