Thanksgiving plans



We belong to the park association. It costs us each $2.00 for the season. The benefits are too great to mention but one of which is Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey,dressing,cranberry sauce,ham,potatoes and gravy are provided. The women of the park bring side dishes and desserts.
There is usually an abundance of sweet potatoes and scalloped corn. Thus I try to bring something a little different. I tend to stay away from the desserts because I may have to bring home some and that isn't good for me. So here is what I am bringing tomorrow. It is a dish made for warm weather. Hey, it's warm here!!
Recipe: CORN SALAD 11/26/2008
Category: Side dish
3 cans Mexicorn (whole kernel corn with red & green bell peppers),
drained
8 oz dairy sour cream
8 oz small curd cottage cheese
3 tbsp prepared mustard
Dash hot pepper sauce
3 green onions, sliced
large bag Fritos corn chips (regular curly size, NOT Scoops ; probably 6
or 7 oz bag)

Pour the corn into a large serving bowl. In a medium bowl, combine dairy
sour cream, cottage cheese, mustard and hot pepper sauce. Pour over corn
in large bowl and add green onion slices. Stir to blend well. Just
before serving, crush Fritos and add to salad, stirring to combine.
Makes a lot!

Angel's Foot



A bit of trauma at our house...I had noticed a clicking noise when Angel walked across the floor and it kept reminding me that we needed to trim her nails. We finally got around to it last night. She is a really good girl about it but it does go much smoother if Butch holds her while I clip. It was going along nicely until I got to her front left foot, the equivalent of her ring finger. Her nail had grown around and embedded into her foot pad. Oooh, OUCH!! I couldn't get her nail clipper apparatus under it so we switched to small scissors to cut the nail then pull it out of her foot pad. She winced a bit when I pulled it out but that had to be a tremendous relief to her. Today she will not let me look at it. I am sure she is on the mend.
