One for you and one for me! …….and how big is your pile? ....and……Fall into Flavor

In honor of my 100th post I am killing two or maybe three birds with one stone so bear with me.

First, I have a small give away for one of my wonderful readers.

I love a bargain and I love decorative wall crosses and I found these wonderful fall foliage crosses marked down 50% at the Hobby Lobby. (Yaaaaaa!!!!!!!) I bought the last two they had, so I have one for me and one for you!!!!!!

My two favorite things all in one.

If you will leave me a comment I will draw from all of them and pick a winner. I can’t wait to see who will win!!!!!!

I'll leave the contest open until next Monday!!!!!

Secondly I was reading a post over at 2nd Cup of Coffee about Linda’s Laundry Miracle. She shared with all of us about the rare occurrence of being able to fold all her white socks and actually having them all match up.

I though to myself that there have been a few rare occasions when this extraordinary laundry phenomena has occurred in my universe of dirty Landry, however more time than not I am left with the sad lonely orphaned sock. Theses mate less abandoned foot apparel make there way to a laundry basket orphanage on top of my dryer. Periodically I will go through this basket/orphanage to see if the strange unseen laundry forces have aligned and brought two long lost socks together once again.

So here’s a question for ya. Do you save the odd socks or do you toss them?

I can't seen to toss them away. I am not sure why except for the nagging thought that as soon as I toss one away I will miraculously come across the mate under the sofa or wedged in the toe of a pair of shoes in the back of my closet.

I know with the daily drama of the impending elections the climate seems a bit tense! There are weighty issues hanging in the balance. Casting our votes weather you have already done so or if you will be standing in line tomorrow is one of our most important privileges we have as Americans. Well, I thought I would lighten the mood a bit and give you all a glimpse into the amazingly unexciting and unimportant details of my life.

So here it is my sock pile!





Thirdly: Fall Into Flavor

Here is my contribution to this weeks fall into Flavor.

It is simple fare but what could be better then grits, sausage, butter and cheese???????

Cheese Grits Casserole
3 Cups Grits
12 Cups Water
1/2 Pound of Butter or Margarine
1 Pound Grated Cheese (any kind you like)
6 Eggs (Beaten)
1 or 2 Pounds Sausage (Browned and Grease Drained Off)
Salt And Pepper To Taste

Cook grits according to package directions. When grits are done add cheese and browned sausage and mix until incorporated. Remove about one cup of the grits mixture and add to your beaten eggs to temper, whisk together. Add this back to the grits and mix until will incorporated.
Pour into well greased casserole dish and bake off in 350 oven for 20 to 30 minutes until heated through and bubbly.

You can add some additional grated cheese to the top of this about 5 or so minutes before finished to add an extra cheese touch.

You can make it ahead ff time and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Options: Crumbled Bacon or Diced Ham or Sautéed Onions or Peppers or Mushrooms and don’t forget Shrimp!!!!!!!!!!

Great for Brunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
