We SO enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast, even with all the delays and shall-wes and should we go aheads as the guys worked to get the power going. You know, some time in the night they must have, for in the morning Caro called down a cheery "My Disposal's WORKING!" and never have I been so glad to hear about garbage, for it meant that my sector must be up and running again. Delighted to get the Keurig and Bose back to rights without that enormous hose of orange extension cord across the sink.<br /><br />Butter Ritz 2 cans pineapple sugar flour mild Cheddar:<br /><br />The pineapple casserole is toooo simple. <br /><br />Melt a stick of butter or oleo in a medium skillet. Crush one sleeve of RITZ, still in the package, and pour into the butter, stirring it all in well (I use a flat wooden paddle, to keep scraping the bottom for five minutes or so, til the crumbs all smell nutty and toasty. If you're making all this the night before, or freezing it ahead, cool the crumbs on a plate now, put them in a little zip-loc and set aside for later)<br /><br /> Take two tall cans of "tidbits" I think they're called---the regular chunks are a little big for me. Pour all the juice out of one and drink it or discard (I poured it into a pitcher of Crystal Light Lemon Tea and it was lovely PUNCH).<br /><br />Put 1/4 c. flour and 1/3 c. sugar in a bowl, Stir in the juice from the second can, and stir into a "slurry" like you would with cornstarch for thickening. Dump in all the pineapple and 2. c. of fine-shred mild cheddar ( a pack of Kroger brand for me). Pour into a heavily-buttered shallow casserole---I used a 10" le Creuset, Top with the toasty crumbs, and bake at 350 or whatever temp any other casserole is already baking, for about 30 minutes. Ours sat in the turned off oven with the dressing and sweet potatoes for more than an hour, was still pleasantly warm, and perfect when we sat down.<br /><br />If you're gonna freeze it for a later dinner, wrap casserole in Saran, lay the little bag of cooled crumbs on top, wrap with another layer, and freeze. All in one place and ready.<br /><br />This was Miss Paula's recipe, I think, and we've been having it at Chris' January Birthday Brunch for years.<br /><br />I hope all your Christmas Preparation is going well---how I wish Lubbock was closer to San Antonio---you and my SIS would just love each other---she's a Mississippi-born TEXAN (got there as soon as she could) all the way.<br /><br />rachel<br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-68770751427241230572015-12-01T08:59:47.982-06:002015-12-01T08:59:47.982-06:00Thank you so much for visiting me and saying hello...Thank you so much for visiting me and saying hello!

The only thing I've ever purchased from them was a very nice mirror butterfly and yes, it was expensive. Since then I found 3 more at Bowring and got all of them for what I paid for the PB one. :-) I have aqua in my Christmas decor too, such a warm colour.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-28123754540190199052015-11-30T20:32:04.522-06:002015-11-30T20:32:04.522-06:00You are so good at this copy cats.
