Back a long time ago when I was much younger, I participated in a United Way phone survey. We had high hopes that the survey would yield good results. It helps to know where the emphasis should be for the most effective use of donated funds. A phone survey would be a good tool.
I was an active participant in the local United Way, working on the Speakers Bureau, for instance. When someone suggested a Phone Survey. I volunteered to head the project. That meant finding people to do the survey as well as formulate questions to be asked.

Carrots and pineapple go good together. What would we do without pineapple? It certainly gets along well with carrots. Try this recipe when you are looking for a change. It is good.

When a cold west wind is swirling snow around the yard, I think of "Chicken Soup". You may think of skiing at Gatlinburg; I think of soup. There is no way I am leaving the house unless it’s going to church or I need groceries. If it can wait, I’ll get my groceries after church. I'll open the door only to feed the birds. Anne will drive down to the mailbox to get the mail rather than walk. That is more than I will do on a cold snowy day; but I will make soup. I have lots of soup recipes. Some take a while to make. Some are quick.

I remember my Grandma’s chicken noodle soup. It was delicious. I have made noodles all my married life. I think I’m pretty good at it, but Grandma had me beat by a country mile. Let me tell you about her noodles.

Automatic dishwashers now do the work we used to do by hand. With some models you don’t even have to rinse the dishes. Everything comes out clean as a whistle. That’s not the way it used to be.
I remember as a small child growing up on that tenant farm during the Great Depression. I watched my mother do the dishes every day. Our old cook stove was kept hot all day from morning breakfast to evening dish washing. The stove’s reservoir held a good supply of hot water. There was also a pail of cold water, with a dipper, nearby as well.

I wonder where this recipe got its name? Calling it ham, rice and bean casserole doesn't have the charm that the name "Hopping John" has. It tastes good. That is all that matters.

Here we go again with cabbage. Have you ever added curry powder to your cream sauce for cabbage? I like curry powder, but not too much of it. Just enough to flavor is my style. This recipe is so good.
