Recipes & Such

Crabmeat Dip

1 cup crabmeat, fresh or canned, cleaned of shell fragments
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 cup mayonnaise
1 stalk celery, finely diced

Mix all ingredients with mixer until well blended.
Chill. Serve as spread for crackers or serve with chips.


Coleman's Mustard Dip

3 eggs
2/3 cup Coleman's Mustard (dry mustard in yellow tin)
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup cider vinegar
(See note)

Whisk all ingredients together in top of double boiler over low-medium heat until thick. Strain through sieve to remove egg white strands. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with warm egg rolls, pretzels, cheese or crackers. Also great on sandwiches.

My note: this makes a lot, so you can store what you don't use in a jar up to one week


Dorothy's Dip

2 cups canned Salmon
2 teaspoons sweet hot mustard
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Garlic salt to taste
dash of Tabasco sauce to taste.

Combine all ingredients, mix with a fork, and chill. Hollow out cannonball sourdough bread, fill with dip, and place the rest of the bread around the cannonball to use for spreading dip.
(Or just pour into a bowl and serve with chips)

This & That

Man...what a difference a day or two makes. Sunday was rough around here, we didn't get any damage (I think TN Chick had some minor damage) but 23 people got killed in Tennessee from bad... bad weather, and a lot of homes got tore up too.

So take a moment... and say a prayer for these folks. It was no where near the devastation that happened during the hurricanes of last year...but it is a sad day to us when someone dies from a tornado anywhere in Tennessee.


On a lighter note...

TN Chick left Jennifer a belated "Happy Birthday" comment for her, so thank you for that. And she also left a comment on the pictures I took and said (and I quote) "Eww Shrimp."

So I take this as... she doesn't like shrimp, that's ok, I love shrimp any way, any fashion (although I do prefer grilled) but some do not like shrimp. Like I said "that's ok"... just means more for me. "Oh yeah babe..." (G)

Stormy Night...

We had some heavy storms come through last night, this is what I caught on camera. If you look closely at the first picture, what looks like the moon or a star is actually hail. It was a rough night.

Weekend Report

One word...Woo-Hoo!!!
A decent weekend for a change, the temp. will be 75 to 77.

Mr. Sunshine will be at the party all day, TNC got her wish for warmer weather, I just hope it stays stable for awhile and doesn't jump around from one extreme to another.

I have already been volunteered to host the family get together this afternoon. Time to clean and fire up the Holland.

After all...this is Macdaddy's Grill where the food is great and the beer is always cold. Woo-Hoo!!!

You'll see to the right I have started a survey poll, it only takes a second to vote, and the results will pop up to show you the percentage of the vote answers. You can vote every time you visit me.

Enjoy your day!!!
