Mine, too...I hate it when a good movie or music presentation is on and I am so distracted by the idiotic lib divel I am recalling a singer, actor or actress say that I can no longer just enjoy a performance..

Shut up and sing would be my preference..They have every right to speak..but I no longer enjoy their performances.

Lovely painting, Jaycee. Thank you.

I’m kinda slow today.

Was having back spasms earlier. Now after taking pain pills, my tummy is not happy. LOL

Can’t win. Thank you for being here.

Post 2917......I know how to spell celebration....sorry! I’ve been busy. My daughter in law’s uncle passed away and I will go to funeral home this evening. I may get time later to get back on.

Have fun, everybody!

My mother always made hers from scratch, too.
I loved finding this recipe....so easy to do but delicious.

Thank you, Billie!

My mama, too, Meg. And she made meringue for everything. Banana pudding and her delicious rice pudding with meringue.
Every pie she made had meringue on it....Cool Whip came into her life later though but she didn’t use it a lot. She could make the best egg custard pie ever. She did not put meringue on that one~~LOL~~

My mother’s chocolate pie and chocolate cake were to die for..I never duplicated her efforts..

My daughter is a far better baker than I..She makes biscuits that are angel light.

I gain weight when she is feeling better and baking..She makes fudge pie and chess squares .

You raised your daughter right! She had to learn it somewhere. Sounds delicious what she does fix. I gain weight just thinking of fudge pie! Yummmmmm~~~

The one thing about the "cool whip" banana pudding that my aunt did differently, and of course I do since I use her recipe, is that she used only milk as called for in the pudding mix - no sweetened condensed milk. I think that keeps it from being quite so sweet, and also the color is more pale yellow. Anyway, I just wanted to say that the condense milk isn't a necessary ingredient if you don't have it or don't want to use it.

We also never put any extra cool whip on top. :)

Wanna Banana? :)



I drew this ape way back when the impeached one was in office.
(and animated it a couple of years ago - pretty goofy)

Afternoon, Yorkie. I just woke up from my nap and am still discombobulated. I hate it when that happens! :(

I majored in “nothing” in college, unless it was the college of hard knocks. Got married as soon as I turned 18.

I did major in cooking and sewing in school tho. I was a typical 50’s gurl I guess. The only Art I majored in was, artfully dodging the kids to get the cooking and housework done. Sighhh... Oh well, now I can relax more and do it because it's fun.

Ahhhh...I got thru my first post of the day, and only had to use the backspace 20 or 30 times. Maybe I should have a nice cup of coffee, to wake up....again. :) I'd shake myself, but I'm afraid I'd give myself a brain spasm.

Thank you, Jaycee. I’m going to get a very small slice of it right now to go with a cup of coffee which I reaaally need.

I would email you some, for sure, but you could make one quicker than I could get it wrapped. ;) With the shredded carrots in the store now, it’s a piece of cake.
