Corn is cooked with a box of cream cheese added in and of course the green bean casserole.
Would your sister share her peanut butter pie recipe ?

Seriously! Angie would probably love it...I don't eat it much but I do like pecan/apple/pumpkin pie in that order.

Thanks Jules ~ I am sure it's just his family he will be missing. His mom and dad, grown and married brother and sister are there as well as his year old niece...it may be very hard on him. He is here now and went to church with us this morning, having dinner here tonight so it will be the first chance we will really have to talk since he left.

It actually did come up BARGOO...

I know step-d's boyfriend was having a great time even before we ate. He was talking sports with my son and the kidnapper, a non-stop thing in my house when all the guys are here....

In fact as soon as my son walked in Angie changed the movie she was watching with my ex-wife's sister and said to her.."well, that's the end of that"....

as she switched it to the football game and turned the sound off....

I told her I had the game on downstairs in the family-room and they could go there and watch...she just and said somehow it will end up on up here anyway...she's right about that

Now when my son, nephew, kidnapper and the NAVY buddy and a couple of friends that stopped by went out to play basketball he didn't go. He stayed inside and watched the football game. Don't know if he didn't have an interest in playing but later I did hear him mention to my son that the only basketball he watches is March Madness because he gets in a pool.

Right before dinner I was standing by him and step-d, he tells me "I can't wait to try some of your potatoes and see if they are as amazing for me as they are for Lara"....then he tells me what she had said about his friend saying we don't do Thanksgiving like they do on the east coast. I asked him what's different? He says, I don't know what he meant, you have pretty much the same food we eat and watch football.

So it ended up very well and he went back for thirds on my scalloped potatoes...

don't know for sure if he really liked them that much or if he's sucking up to be...

KIDNAPPER2....

BARGOO...here is the original recipe ~

Scalloped Potatoes

4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups scalded whole milk
1/2 cup of cheddar cheese

In a buttered 2 quart dish layer 1/3 of the potatoes. Combine salt/flour/pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of mixture over the potatoes; repeat with another layer of potatoes and the flour mixture and top with remaining potato slices. Dot with butter then pour hot scalded milk over the potatoes. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover sprinkle cheese over the top. return to oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until scalloped potatoes are tender and cheese has melted. Serves 6-8.

Here is what I change ~

I add way more cheese! I use sharp cheddar and I add it on each layer of potatoes. I usually have more potatoes too. I also add some asiago cheese to one layer.

The dish I make also takes about 15 minutes longer per covered and uncovered too, because of the density of my dish.
