♥Sweet Interruption♥ 17

Well, something got ahold of one of the guinnes... so now there are only 8 of them... the rest of them are fine... and the yard dog and his wife are just plain sexy.

My Sistah BJ has gone to the feathers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, maybe you did come and we just didn't see ya !!!! Poor puppies got blamed for the dead gueny (how the heck do you spell that?).

Wuden me... promise!!!

OH you bet BJ I will be there, hmmmmmm wondering about that baileys tho. I guess I could hide it in my coffee, so I would be wide awake for the weekend.

Deborah should be home by now... wish she'd call me so I'd know she's ok.

If I were there, that guinea wouldn't be wasted. You all will have the best tasting gumbo!
You did say, you were picking up feathers, BJ :D

Awww... Tia... you don't have to hide it... you'll be among friends... we'll take care of ya...

LOL... didn't get even one feather from Kathy's house... just from her friend Wally's farm.

you should see the bruises I have from ONE to many last week. Didnt help son in law was chasing me and I was the idiot to run in my state of mind.

LOL... Well, we won't chase you... we'll just keep you from hurting yourself... ok?

OK sounds like a plan, save me a spot to lay down on.

Congrats Tia.. you fit right in with us here.
We are known to do 'idiotic' things too.

Whut you talk'n bout, Jaye? Idiotic?.... Me?.... Nah...

Well, sistahs... the game is going to start in about 15 mins... then I think Don and I are going to leave...
So, I'm going to join Kathy in La La land... Deborah kept me up way too late last night ... I'm about to fall asleep right here.
I won't be back online tonight...

OHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest well BJ.. new room tomorrow!

I heard from Deb-she is safely home:)

ANd who does idiotic things??not this group;)

We're Baacckk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just woke up from a long nap. OMG, What I'd give for a fried turkey sandwich right about now. There's nothing in this house to eat! We were spoiled this week end., We ate, and ate, and ate,

Sob...sob...
Fried turkey sandwich????? Surely next year Sis will bring a fried turkey with her!
Glad you made it home safe Deborah. I still say you wear the wrong colors :D

Don't forget a trip to Canada???? now wouldn't that be special..we could do crafts..lol..

Hey there, Jaye and Betty! I haven't unpacked my suitcase yet but I sure hope I left something. I'd go back first thang in the morning. Kathy and Michael can lay a spread like nobody's business! When I got there Saturday, everyone was eating and when I left this morning, they were still eating! Jaye, your pickles were great too! So crispy and not too sweet, just right! You should label them for sale just like Kathy should for her jams and chow-chow.
Betty, a trip to Canada for crafts would be fun! We played poker at Kathy's.
Jaye, now you know red and black runs through my veins. And yes, I did hope I worried that Auburn guy.

Good lord, I go away for the afternoon, and this room has filled up. Looks like you all were waiting for the sista's to get back home. What is butter tarts?
Glad to hear everyone is doing ok. have a good nite sleep.
Linda Kay

Well lets see now. I haven't the foggiest idea what Jaye means about idoitic things--who this group? Jaye, something wrong with you tonight honey? Nah, not us.

Bags still packed, how about you Deborah? I know the way to Betty's, more than ready to turn around and return to some no humidity weather and my car is full!! Need I say more? Oh Betty, that would be such fun if we could all get together and drive up to see you--or fly what ever!! Count me in for sure when that time comes. Oh my but a late September or October trip?

Hello Tia, glad you found everyone here. It also pays to be just a wee bit off of the center. LOL I'll bring you plenty of Baileys. Okay?

Just about the most delicious, calorie free treat you would ever want to eat!!! Filling very much like pecan pie but with raisins in mine. You can have other things in the filling but ........ So you see--absolutely no calories!!

wishing everyone a good night, can't read anymore, and it's all fun.

That's a swell idea!! A craft filled weekend at Betty's... Lord, I'm tired already!!
No calorie is the best food group for us damsels. Gonna have to look for butter tarts recipe. Is it anything like minced meat pies, Marion?
Well Deb.. ANYTHING can send any Auburn guys worrying!!! LOL!!!
Joyce, are you home yet?
Joey, let us know how you're doing dear one. You know us, we worry too much...
Have a good night sleep everyone.
Stacey must be sleeping with a smile knowing her Aunts are safely home.

Butter tarts, calorie free?, yea right. Pass me some.

So far it sounds good, I will have to look for the recipe also.
Linda Kay

Don't unpack, Marion. I hope I left something at Kathy's and you can go with me to get it. Kathy, did I leave my red bedroom shoes? Marion, we missed you. Audrey was lonely in her bed. BJ and I snuggled in a king size bed, while Joyce sleep between Kathy and Michael....outside somewheres.

Linda Kay, if you find the recipe, please share.

When you need to go Deborah? Still packed and ready!!! I missed you all too and am sure it would have been much less stress. Why does something like this bring out the worst in families? Few upsets between nieces and nephew; mainly some just weren't willing to accept what the wishes were and ventured out to do as they wanted. Unfortunately I was the "ogre" who had to bring them back to their senses. Just very very grateful they realized how close we were and if I knew the his plan then it must have been right. Urrrrgh!!!

I am ready to pick you up, go gather up Jaye and head to Betty's. Name the date!! Bj can flying into Tally and off we shall go--next stop Canada. Passports ready everyone? Well birth certificate and photo ID will do it.

Watch it Betty we are headed your way!!

Evenin Ladies I just stumbled in while looking around I've been a DGer for a year now and still find wonderful places to go in here.

Is this the one???

BUTTER TARTS
Categories: Canadian, Pie
Yield: 1 servings

1/4 c Butter
1/2 c Brown sugar; packed
1/2 ts Vanilla
1 Egg
1/2 c Corn syrup
1/2 c Raisins; or currants
12 Tart shells;lined with pastry dough

"These tarts were the basis for Butter Tart Pie and Butter Tart
Squares which appeared in later decades. Another variation uses maple syrup instead of corn syrup. ...Butter Tarts are uniquely Canadian. There are theories whether they were adpated from southern pecan pie, old-fashioned sugar pies, or maple syrup, bakcwoods or vinegar pies. Squabbles arise whether or not the tarts should be runny or not, and just how runny. Opnions differ about the use of syrup or sugar only, eggs beaten or not, currants or raisins, and how the tart pans should be filled."
In bowl, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat in egg and corn syrup. Spoon raisins into tart shells; pour in the filling, two-thirds full. Bake in 375F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. MAKES: 12 TARTS
SOURCE: The 1st decade chapter in A Century of Canadian Home Cooking

Yeap that sure looks like one to me. There are many, many I am sure--just about as many recipes for the tarts as we have for pecan pies.

I was given a copy of Canadian Living from my nephew and this month's feature is maple flavored tarts. When my brain isn't so fuzzy will post the recipe for you, Linda Kay. How would that be. I will take out all the calories. LOL

MMMMMMMMM, sounds good, and easy! No calories??? LOL
That will be the day!
Sweet dreams to all.
Linda Kay

Found some too.. it originates from the British treacles... of course, Canada is still in the Commonwealth right??
Thanks LK.

Ladies...say hello to Phyllis.."Mibus".
Welcome Phyllis. Somehow this group here always have food on their minds.

Well I am really off to bed this time.... y'all come back now... gonna be dreaming of fried turkey sandwiches. Thanks Deborah :P

Mibus2, I'll try your raisin tarts and the Canadian butter tarts. Now from where I come from in south Ga., when tarts are mentioned they are deep fried. Apple tarts and peach tarts. Y'all's recipe calls for them to be baked like a pie but in small tart tins?

yes they are done in tart tins or a muffin tin whatever you want to call it LOL
my grandma sometimes changed the raisins to chopped nuts for something different but they were good either way.

Hi Deborah and thanks
oh food on the mind is not a bad thing all the time LOL
The best recipes are the ones share among friends that have been in families for years.
