food
The hot topic this week is food. I guess it could also be a cold topic, sweet topic or side topic. Either way, it’s always a popular one… and something we ALL think about from day-to-day and meal to meal. From cereal to turkey (or tofurkey) on Thanksgiving, we each have our own relationship with what goes on our tables and into our bodies.
Leave us a comment with your favorite food.. French fries top my list!
And stay tuned for a week of shared recipes, stories and goodies. You may or may not want to come hungry.
Today’s recipe worth trying:
Frozen Lemonade Pie
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons butter, melted
Lemonade Filling:
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- One 12-ounce container whipped topping, thawed
- One 6-fluid-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate, unthawed
- 1 teaspoon candied lemon peel, for garnish
Directions
For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In medium bowl, stir together the cracker crumbs, sugar and the melted butter until combined and resembles a wet sand mixture. Pour into a pie plate and press the mixture firmly along the bottom and sides. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
For the filling: In a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping. Fold the two together gently until combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy. Add the lemonade concentrate and continue to gently fold. Be sure to avoid letting the mixture get too liquid-y. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Place in the freezer to chill overnight.
Bon Appetit!
concert fun
What was your first concert? I’m pretty sure mine was Neil Diamond. Mmmm hmmm… for real. I was young and tagged along with my Mom. I remember actually enjoying myself because I knew all the songs – she played the ALBUMS (like the record kind) so much, I was a fan by association. His sparkly outfit was pretty awesome too.
I went to a few different concerts throughout high school – and like Heather was smart to do yesterday, I also won’t embarrass myself with revealing my high school taste in music (Mmmmmmmbop!).. but there is one concert I will admit to going to: the Barenaked Ladies. I saw them for the first time in Boston after taking the train into the city with friends. We managed to make our way up to the front row and it was the best! We sang our hearts out.. and then a porta potty almost caved in on me when someone walked across the top of it. True story.
Fast forward a few years later and the Barenaked Ladies are on stage in front of us again. Like that other time, it was a warm Summer night and there was a group of us belting our hearts out. Is there anything better?
