First, we notified guests that it would be a cook out but as the day drew nearer the rain moved in…so we moved the party inside. I used the Butterfly Gold large casserole dish for this because I needed a little summer for the day.Īs many of you may be aware May fourth is International Star Wars day and you may also be aware that (if you have followed this blog for any amount of time) my husband and I love to entertain and host parties for silly “holidays.” So when May fourth rolled around this year I told Joe we had to have a party for all of our Star Wars loving friends.
The finished product was just what we all needed on a rainy night. I think we had ours in roughly 15 minutes. Simply cook it up with whatever flavorings you’d like until warm through.Ĭream corn to begin with! Cream corn is not my favorite…I love corn, but not with the added thickness just seems weird.īake at 350 until the mashed potatoes get a good crust on them…If you do gravy on top you probably won’t get that crust.
Also, since Joe doesn’t eat meat we use Morning Star fake ground beef for this.
No offense to the gravy that my stepfather makes on holidays but I just love Joes. Let me tell you about the gravy that he makes…It is probably the best home-made gravy I’ve ever had. Since we didn’t use Pyrex for this there are no pictures…Same goes for the gravy. Joe wanted Shepard’s Pie so I thought hey why not and he said, “we’ll actually take pictures this time so we can use it as a post and your readers won’t think you gave up.” Good idea, husband.įirst he had sliced some potatoes, cooked and mashed them up with heavy cream. It has been raining a lot lately and what goes better with rain that comfort food? Answer: nothing. We’ve found a few new pieces that I will eventually get around to sharing and as always, we’re using our dishes on a daily basis. Life gets in the way of blogging some times (actually most of the time) but my Pyrexing hasn’t stopped. Thank you for being a spectacular person. Hopefully this spring/summer we can get the kids to the beach or what have you. You are a wonderful friend and I wish that we weren’t so far apart and could actually spend time together. Put some garlic salt in one and maybe…say.some paprika in the other?Īnd now, a special message to Amber. I think that maybe I will re-purpose these as just “seasoning” shakers. I do have a set of Butterfly Gold S&Ps but they are white glass, not transparent.
Thankfully, it was not a human head! Because Amber is so in tune with things I’m interested in…īutterfly Gold salt and pepper shakers! She told me her Gram has the entire set but isn’t willing to part with it “just yet.” Me thinks the lady has her own eyes on it! Which I don’t think anyone would blame her for. Sometime around Christmas she sent me an email asking me for my current address because she had a “surprise” to send me. As well as our common love of all things in the Geekdom (you know, its like the Kingdom of the Geeks) and our little boys. I met her during my stint at the Community College of Rhode Island and we have since become close thanks to Facebook and Pinterest. So, I have this wonderful friend named Amber.
