RAINY MONDAY

It's a rather gloomy, rainy day here today. Jerry went to Bloomington to spend time with Nathan and Heat as they have the day off school; and since Heather has Monday's off work, I believe she joined then for lunch and whatever else they might do.

We had a very busy morning yesterday as it was our turn to "give dinner" at church. Friday and Saturday I made 4 pans of Rice Krispie/Peanut Butter bars and 4 batches of Praline Delights (pictured below), which is made with graham crackers, syrup, brown sugar, and pecans! (Janice's recipe) It is the most delicious thing ever! By bedtime Saturday, I was sick to my stomach from eating all the broken pieces and licking the caramel from the bottom the pan. Of course had to check every pan of the PB bars also.


I've just begun boiling some Navy beans. We had lots of ham left over and I think ham 'n' beans with a little Jiffy Corn Bread/syrup sounds really good on such a rainy day. Too bad all y'all aren't closer, we'd have enough for everyone!

Ooohh, they look so good! Don't you think you ought to post the recipe? Mary Lee is giving a shower next Saturday and that might be a good (and easy) one to fix.

How did serving lunch go? No disasters?

I think I could eat 6 of those praline bars right now. Please post the recipe.

Mmmm. Caramel beats chocolate for me any time!

Lunch went well. We got lots of compliments on our sandwiches. The worst part is the clean-up and getting rid of all the left-overs. We'll be eating ham in one form or another for awhile. Oh well, it was delicious ham.
