Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. Some of those pictures are awesome - I especially like the ship coming through the Suez Canal.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....Partly cloudy skies. Warm. High around 80F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight....Mostly clear. Low 52F. Winds light and variable.

Well, I think I'm getting ahead of the "things to do" here on my desk. I'm actually going to do something today that I thought I'd have to wait until next week for.
I'm kind of glad since we have only four workdays next week.
Yeah, I'm off on Monday and will be taking care of some chores which means I will be making a quick visit to the Canteen on Monday.

But, for now, it's time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

And, for the rest of you………..

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

COOKING WITH THE CANTEEN

Pizza Pot Pies

You can’t help but smile back at this casserole. It has the all-time favorite flavor--pizza!

Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:40 min
Makes:4 servings

1 pound lean ground beef or Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1 can (4 ounces) sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
1 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/4 cup very hot water

1. Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease four 10- to 12-ounce casseroles.

2. Cook ground beef, onion and bell pepper in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in pizza sauce and mushrooms. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon beef mixture into casseroles. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on each.

3. Mix Bisquick mix and very hot water; beat vigorously 20 seconds. Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick mix; gently roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into ball; knead about 10 times or until smooth. Divide dough into 4 balls. Pat each ball into circle the size of diameter of casserole. Cut steam vent in each circle with knife or cookie cutter. Place each circle on beef mixture in casserole. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until very light brown.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft) Bake 22 to 25 minutes.

Happy almost weekend, beachy.

We had several inches of snow yesterday, but we had high winds
and rising temps last night and now it is all gone.
