We had a great reunion but I am tired! We had folks coming in from all over, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio and California. We had about 27 total I think. I cooked on Sunday. I made a banana pudding first, evidently not everyone knows about banana pudding – we once had some of the kids from CA call it banana yogurt. Here in the south it’s a staple.
Next I worked on my death by chocolate. Here’s a picture of that. It’s one of my favorites!
And then I got started on the chicken pot pies. Now Theresa I don’t really think of it as a recipe because I know how to do it but here goes.
Mix together:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 ¼ cup chicken broth
2 cups cut up cooked chicken
1 can drained Veg-all (or your own leftover veggies if you have such things)
It looks like this –
Then for the crust mix:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 stick butter
1 cup milk
pour this over the other ingredients then bake at 375 for an hour and it looks like this –
So here is the whole meal.
Everyone seemed to get enough to eat. People ate and talked and ate and swam and ate and talked some more. Just great for the old diet!
I also had two great pieces of new this weekend. I will tell you about one and if the other actually comes true you will here about it later. Mollie is going to be traveling again. A friend has asked her to go to NYC for a week with her family. Although it is LJ who is the one dying to move there, Mollie seems pretty excited too. Of course that will give Nick and I another week alone. Nick pretty much leaves these decision (to let her go or not) to me. When I told her I thought it would be okay Nick whispered to me “I guess we better take our vitamins.” This is turning out to be my best summer yet!
