A Cake For Liberace

OR ME!

When I saw my age printed on a birthday card....

I knew right then...

OH

This is why woman lie about their age.

It was absolutely shocking to me to actually see the number.

57!!!!

OMG!!!

Sometimes I have the maturity of A 16 year old 

and I feel like I am 30.

But it is surely not true on either count.

I am approaching SENIOR Citizenship.

The only upside is;

 medicare (if it is still provided)

and the movie discount.

I tell you this is devastating....

On a lighter note 

yesterday my Mom and I went to see a movie

 and were rushing to get there on time....

we stopped for the best HOT DOG imaginable in Rockland.

It is a little trailer/Hot Dog Kitchen on the side of the road.

{ I love stuff like this}

When Mom pulled up to the trailer

I ran up to the window to get the DOGS.

When I handed Mom her Hot Dog she dropped it in her lap,

she was driving,

and when she jumped up and out of the car...

IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE.

Not to worry we managed to stop just a few short inches 

of the HOT DOG TRAILER.

Two Heart attacks on the side PLEASE!

A comedy of errors.

We both had a huge laugh when it was all over.

Have you ever done that?

Jumped out of the car while it was still in drive?

I have.

The movie was a comedy, and it was a good thing,

if the car episode wasn't enough

when we got in the movie my Mom was sitting on the seat when it was 

in the folded up position for me to walk past her to my seat....

she proceeded to lose her balance and flip over backward over the chair 

into the aisle behind us.

No worries 

I grabbed her jacket and pulled her back into position.

Again...we were hysterical laughing.

In my head though I was freaking out

and thank G-D 

that she didn't flip over and 

get wedged in the aisle behind us or crack her head on the hard floor.

A slight stresser....NO?

Nothing else went wrong for the day

So 

those Happy Juices just kept circulating through our bodies all day.

Have you had a good laugh today?

It's so important.

I hear it can cure cancer.

Hmmmm....?

Have a great day.

We are off to see Silver Lining today.

Signing Off,

Laurel & Hardy

I love this !!!

Check out the stone wall / pathway.

'Contemporary' is alive and doing well in Maine

This is a view of Camden Harbor from the kitchen of one of Cold Mountain Builders' Homes.

There are so many wonderful places to rebuild and restore here in Maine...

Below is just one example.

In April of 2012 the Mill at Freedom Falls, circa 1834, was entered in the Register of Historic Places, and rehabilitation began in May 2012 by Cold Mountain Builders.

I can't wait to see the finished restoration!!

Renee's Noodle Pudding

I was working at Bloomies at the time....

and we were having one of our co-worker {at work} parties

and this woman { Claire} came in with this noodle pudding.

I had had noodle puddings before....

BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE.

I know I should call it Claire's Noodle Pudding but.....

Claire Shmare - It's Mine Now

In my life I have had noodle puddings....

never like this one.

Usually they are dry and rubbery - yuck.

So.....

I begged and pleaded for the recipe and finally got it.

I am going to share it with you before the winter is over.

Because

I do really see this as a warm and cozy comfort food.

And

I urge you to try it.

It is really easy.

Your family members and friends will love you for making it,

and be prepared to pass out the recipe.

You have my permission to rename it.

hahahahah

The thing i like about this recipe is that it is 

SO FLEXIBLE.

Here Goes:

Get a 9 x 13" pan or something gorgeous would work better.

8 - 12 oz of egg noodles {wide}

cook & drain

in a separate mixing bowl;

1/2 lb of butter or margarine

2/3 cup sugar

8 oz sour cream

4 eggs

use the whole eggs, but

**beat the egg whites separately 

2/3 cup of milk 

1/4 lb of cream cheese

1/2 lb of cottage cheese or RICOTTA cheese

1 teas vanilla

Mix noodles and ingredients together

Bake 30 minutes @ 350 degrees

Take out and apply TOPPING

1-2 cups of frosted flakes

and 3/4 cup of brown sugar mixture

Spread evenly across the top of noodles.

Bake again to brown the top @ 350 degrees

no more than 30 minutes

BTW 

The next day it is just as delicious!!!

Now you can fool around and make a much more tidy topping

as shown above by substituting the frosted flakes with

YUM

Almonds & Powdered Sugar!!

How Pretty.

And when you get real good at this you can make in a mold.

You can also make it as a dinner using salmon or tuna

with peas and pearl onions.

Just reduce the sugar a little.

and use an appropriate topping.

Just serve with a great salad - what could be better?

Experimentation is what makes a great cook right?

Let me know if you come up with a great main dish recipe.
