Christmas is Almost Here!
It looks like we will have a white Christmas – unless tomorrow’s rain melts the snow that we have on the ground today. We have a few inches on the ground and snow is falling now. Growing up – a green Christmas was rare. It seems for the last ten years or so – a green Christmas has been standard. Last year, Christmas Day was in the 60s! I remember the neighbor’s kids running down the street barefoot.
We have been having arctic weather so the snow today is very fluffy. I am happy that it is a Saturday – so I don’t have to be in a hurry to go anywhere. I will be leaving my house late morning to go to my mom’s. If the snow is very light and fluffy – I may not need the snowblower. I hate shoveling – but if it is only a few fluffy inches – I can just push it away easily which is easier than maneuvering the heavy snowblower.
I only have a couple quick gifts to pick up and my Christmas shopping is finished! Last night, I was wrapping presents.
Food has been EVERYWHERE! I am trying to control my eating. I am chubby enough. At our potluck at work this week, a woman in my department brought in her onion pie. It is so good. Here is the recipe.
Caroline’s Vidalia Onion Pie
1 cup Ritz crackers, crumbled fine
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 cups Vidalia onions, diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 T. butter (for sauteing onions)
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of pie plate with Crisco nonstick spray (optional). Mix cracker crumbs with 1/2 stick butter and press into bottom of pie plate. Saute onions in 1 T. butter until translucent, not brown. Spoon into pie plate. Beat eags and milk with salt; pour over onions. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
Enjoy your Week! Christmas is in 8 days!
