Thanksgiving Trouble

Do you think a husband should talk to his wife about who is coming to Thanksgiving dinner before anyone else(his mom)?? I found out from my mother-in-law that my husbands cousin , her hubby and 3 children are coming to dinner. I asked hubby why did he not tell me me? He told me I was making a big deal over nothing. I said no ,but as your wife I should find out from you not your mom leaving a message as to who is coming to dinner. As it is his mom is telling me when she will be here staying in a hotel , for how many days and when hubbies grandma will be here(our house) and how many days she will stay with us for me to care for !!

I can not care for his grandma by my self, the girls will have to help. My leg is still broken after 11 months, I have to have more surgery, I walk with a limp and am not anywhere near as strong as I was. How am I to pick up and carry his grandma in and out of the tub to giver her a bath and pick her up when she falls?? I love his grandma , and will do my best.

Oh well, God Bless, mj

We found a house we like. It is a 7 bedrooms, 4 baths 4200 square feet and on almost 3/4 acre, only for 350 thousand!! , we are in California remember. We were emailed it and just loved the pictures and how it sounded. We went to see it and it is two house not one house! Ugh!!! Why do they not tell you that when you are looking at a few to see? They know what you want, so why do they waste my time??

We are going to look at another one, but this one is smaller only 3 bedrooms, 2 bath and 2300 square feet , but it has the land we want.

We are just looking at this time as we still have our ranch and love it there. We will see where and if God wants us to move, but we keep looking.

God Bless, mj

Fires in California

I do not know if you see on your news things about California , but we are having major fires. We have 6 going and 3 of them are close around us. We live in Chino. Chino Hills was Chino to, until they changed it to Chino Hills ( it was always just called the hills) because they did not to live in a city that has a prison. Carbon canyon is also part of Chino Hills (Chino). We live a few miles form Diamond Bar and Corona. We have fires all around us. We are praying for the people who lost their homes and for all the people helping out. So many people lost it all.

People were evacuated 3 miles from us. It has been very smokey and it looks like it snowed due to the ash. It is fall but we have been in the 90's. Hubby had such a hard time getting home from work on Friday. The 3 freeways were closed as was Carbon Canyon. It took him over 2.5 hours to drive the 17 miles home!!

Modern Redaction

Ingredients:

250g dried broad (fava) beans
4 egg yolks
120g cottage cheese (curds)
4 tbsp sugar
90g butter
4 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Pastry:

225g flour
90g softened butter
2 egg yolks
6 threads saffron ground into 1 tbsp water in a pestle and mortar

Method:
First re-hydrade the beans by placing them in aobut 600mls of water
in a pan. Bring this to boil in a pan then turn off the heat, cover
and allow to sit for at least 70 minutes. Then add a further 250ml of
water, bring to the boil again and simmer for about 50 minutes until
the beans are soft. Once cooked drain the beans and blitz in a food
processor.

Allow the bean paste to cool then mix in the egg yolks and add the
cottage cheese (which should not be drained). Add the sugar, butter
and cinnamon and mix to a smooth paste.

To make the pastry for the pie crust sift the flour into a bowl, add
the saffrom threads and their steeping water along with the egg yolks
and mix together well. First add 3/4 of the softened butter and mix
in well. If all the flour does not come together into a dough add a
little more butter. Once the dough comes into a ball cut it into two
pieces (one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger piece of
dough out and use this to line a 22cm pie dish. Cut off the excess
pastry around the edge and fill the middle of the pie with the bean
mixture. Next roll the smaller piece of pastry out and use this to
place on top of the pie. Use the back of a fork to crimp the upper
and lower pieces of pastry together then pierce the top pastry a few
times to allow steam to escape as the pie cooks.

Cook in an oven pre-heated to 180°C for about 45 minutes or until the
upper crust has just turned a golden colour. Brush the top surface of
the pie with a mixture of sugar, molten butter and cinnamon. Seve.

Iron Skillet Corn Bread

{ Posted by GrandmaRosie }
{ 5:09 PM, Tue 18 Nov 2008 } { Posted in FROM THE KITCHEN } { 1 comments } { Link }

Iron Skillet Corn Bread

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion (optional)
1/2 cup diced cooked bacon (optional)
3/4 cup fresh or canned whole kernel corn (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour the oil into a 10-inch cast-iron
skillet, and put the skillet in the oven while it preheats.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking
powder, salt and a few grindings of pepper.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and water until blended. Stir
the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing together just until
moist; a few lumps should be evident.

Stir in any one or all of the optional ingredients, if desired.

Carefully pour the batter into the preheated oil in the pan. (A round
tempered glass pan might work, too, but it wouldn't have the crunchy texture
so prized in the South.)

Bake the corn bread until the top is golden brown and the sides have pulled
away from the pan, about 20 - 25 minutes. Slice and serve immediately.

HERBED SKILLET CORNBREAD

{ Posted by GrandmaRosie }

HERBED SKILLET CORNBREAD
Serves 6 to 8

Corn has always been especially important to the diet of many South ern
farmers, particularly during the years when the dreaded boll weevil wreaked
havoc on the cotton crop. There are dozens of varieties of cornbread cooked
in the South: corn pone, hoecake, hush puppies, spoon bread, and for a few
old-timers, crackling bread and ash cake cornbread, the last one laying
claim to medicinal value. Many farmers still openly boast that they love
their cornbread better than cake. This is our family's standard buttermilk
cornbread recipe, but I have dressed it up with some fresh herbs, which I
think provide a refreshing taste.

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup bacon drippings (you can substitute melted butter)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon each, fresh and finely chopped: chives, parsley, sage, thyme

1. Preheat oven to 400* F.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking
powder, and salt.

3. Add the buttermilk, bacon drippings or melted butter, and eggs
and stir until just combined. Add the herbs and stir until the mixture is
smooth.

4. Grease a heavy 9-inch cast-iron skillet and set in the preheated
oven for about 4 minutes. Remove from oven, pour in the batter, and bake for
about 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden-brown and a knife inserted
in the center comes out clean. Coolon a wire rack, cut into large pieces,
and serve warm or at room temperature.
