Our Dinner Surprise....

or maybe I should call this post the "Hot Flashes in the Kitchen"....after all, the kitchen is definitely not the best place to be when the cursed heat flushes your body and its all you can do to keep the sweat out of your eyes....then you spend more time looking in the fridge for something then you do looking after the stove!!....ok, the looking in the fridge is just an excuse so you can feel that cold air and hope it helps just a little but we wont tell the men that!!LOL....



a couple of nights ago I cooked a wonderful dinner for my bunch....well...ok, I sorried out and no bisquits or cornbread, but at least we had a loaf of bread.....

country fried chicken,yummy!!! cooked in that big ole iron skillet.....


corn,no not on the cob but the easy way, out of the can!


mashed potatoes,not that instant kind either..my bunch wont eat them...


oops!! wrong potatoe!! lol.....


sauer kraut and weiners.....one of my favorite foods


green beans.....and another can of peaches for desert....

ok....it was an easy dinner but still a good one.....


hmmm, perfect table??? yeah,right! LOL!! More like I get it ready and throw it on the table....

so I called them to the table and we sat down and dug in when.....


ooops!!! what did I do???? well,what I didn't do was heat that can of corn!!! Hey, I put it in the pan and put it on the stove and a few minutes later took that pan of corn and put it in a bowl on the table...how in the world did I forget to turn the burner on to heat it up?? and since I used a pot holder when I got the pan off the stove I never realized the pan wasn't hot!! I'm blaming it on those change of life memory lapses..... some of you know what I'm talking about, and you young gals will learn one of these days!!!

but after the shock of taking a bite of cold corn everyone laughed and loved me anyway....I offered to heat the corn in the microwave for them but they said no, they'd just eat it that way....but I didn't see anyone take another bite of the corn...lol, oh well, who could blame them.


Just thought I'd share this little tale of our dinner surprise....maybe putting this here where everyone can see it will remind me next time to heat that corn up!!!!

Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!!
