This Butterfly is fluttering in with Thanksgiving Day Greeting and blessing for you and your family. With this Thanksgiving week, I thought it appropriate to send this article I edited for you on Make Ahead Dishes. I know how busy we all are so why not make it easy on yourself and make some dishes ahead of time and be able to have some fun with your friends and your family. Cooks day off: Make these Thanksgiving dishes ahead of time By Andrew Z. Galarneau With Thanksgiving barely a week away here are some terrific dishes you can make a day or two ahead, and reheat without distress. Schultz agreed to share his corn pudding recipe from Jenny Karpinske, his Polish grandmother. It’s versatile; add sharp cheddar and roasted green chile, and it can sing a Southwestern tune. • Mashed potatoes can be made ahead, dotted with butter and browned to order. • Casseroles and baked dishes can be covered with aluminum foil and reheated in the oven. Remove foil to brown top. • “Freezer rolls” can be made, frozen as dough weeks ahead, then allowed to rise, ready before baking. • Even a turkey can be roasted the previous day then carved and rewarmed in a pan with stock. • Stuffing baked in a pan might even be better a day after it is made. Spread the cooking over several days before dinner and this Thanksgiving home cooks might enjoy the holiday for a change. This way said Schultz you can actually talk to the people you’re having over and have a good time. Colonial Corn Pudding 1 can whole kernel corn, drained 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 3 eggs, slightly beaten 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 1/2 cups milk (not skim) Salt and pepper to taste Combine corn, onions and eggs in bowl. Whisk in flour, baking powder, parsley, sugar, butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pudding mixture can be made the day before and refrigerated. To cook, preheat oven to 350. Pour mixture into buttered 1 1/2 quarts casserole or single-serving ramekins. Place dish or dishes in pan with 1 inch of water. Place in oven. Bake until firm, and knife inserted in center comes out clean. That’s about 1 1/2 hours in a single dish, or about 35 minutes in ramekins. Have a Wonderful Holiday !!! Huggers,

The Sound of the Trees by Robert Frost I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place? We suffer them by the day Till we lose all measure of pace, And fixity in our joys, And acquire a listening air. They are that that talks of going But never gets away; And that talks no less for knowing, As it grows wiser and older, That now it means to stay. My feet tug at the floor And my head sways to my shoulder Sometimes when I watch trees sway, From the window or the door. I shall set forth for somewhere, I shall make the reckless choice Some day when they are in voice And tossing so as to scare The white clouds over them on. I shall have less to say, But I shall be gone. glitter-graphics.com One White Tree by J. R. R. Tolkien Tall ships and tall kings Three times three. What brought they from the foundered land Over the flowing sea? Seven stars and seven stones And one white tree. glitter-graphics.com Birch Tree by A. S. J. Tessimond The birch tree in winter Leaning over the secret pool Is Narcissus in love With the slight white branches, The slim trunk, In the dark glass; But, Spring coming on, Is afraid, And scarfs the white limbs In green.

Dear Lyla, I thought I would drop by to share some of Missouri's Autumn Colors.The trees are in their finest Fall Colors this year. We are having the nicest Autumn weather in a long while. We have not even had a hard freeze yet. I do not know if this is a sign for a mild winter or if it is God's plan to prepare us for the winter to come our way later on. Whatever it is, I love it, and I wanted to share it with you. A Flowering Pear tree dressed in her finest Fall Colors. GOD'S GOLD Oh, the glory of this autumn day, When the trees unfold their gold! Oh, how lifted is my spirit, Lord, When such beauty I behold! Like precious coins, each leaf holds on Through sunshine, fog, or haze; The memory of this rich display Will warm my winter days. ~~By Helen Kitchell Evans.~~

Butterfly Secrets Where do the butterflies get their wings, Do they hear us when we sing, What wonderful beauty the butterfly brings, When after a long winter's nap, they return in the spring. How do they know where to go, Before the temperatures drop too low, Where do they come from, and where do they go, It must be a secret only the butterflies know. Written by Butterfly Mariel Dec.-07-2008 Leaves by Elsie Brady How silently they tumble down And come to rest upon the ground To lay a carpet, rich and rare, Beneath the trees without a care, Content to sleep, their work well done, Colors gleaming in the sun. At other times, they wildly fly Until they nearly reach the sky. Twisting, turning through the air Till all the trees stand stark and bare. Exhausted, drop to earth below To wait, like children, for the snow. Flamboyant Autumn Autumn’s picturesque arrival Is a colorful array Of red and gold and orange, In flamboyant, rich display. Autumn days are shorter; The nights are getting cool; Geese fly south in flocks, As kids go back to school. Winter still is dreaming Of snow and icicles, As we put away our swimsuits, Our boats and bicycles. Wisps of smoke from chimneys Tell of cozy, crackling fires; Fall is being born, As summer now retires. By Joanna Fuchs poemsource.com
