Salsa Ball 2009

Last night was the Salsa Ball in Stillwater, with live Latin Music and dancing. It was loads of fun. I do know the basic salsa steps from Zumba but my poor hubby just could not get it down. So we danced alright but nothing Latin other than my little hip swinging. Hopefully we can get in some more practice before we go again. But I have to admit my husband was such a good sport to even take me, since he does not like to dance at all. I rarely get a chance to go out so I was not going to pass this night up.






For your enjoyment here are some of the fun moves my husband made at the ball. Now you can see what I was up against but you've just got to love his sense of humor!

Holiday Extravaganza

Showing my wears at the Heart Link Network Holiday Extravaganza 2009. I had loads of fun meeting other business women at this Extravaganza. Many women in my hometown have there own businesses. Of the group of women there were only 2 other ladies who actually hand make the items they sell. One woman made beautiful silver jewelry and other made bibs, pillows and jewelry.

I'm sure there are others in my town who handmake items but they just weren't at this showing.

Giblet Stuffing with Raisins

Ingredients:

1 bag seasoned bread crumbs
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cups celery chopped
1 cup turkey broth, from boiled giblets or chicken broth
1 cup raisins
1 T sage
1 T poultry seasoning
¼ cup butter
chopped giblets including neck pieces (from one turkey or chicken)

Directions:

Sauté in butter, onions, celery, raisins (about 10 minutes).Boil giblets in water. When giblets are done then the water will be a broth too. Chop gibblets. Add broth to bread cubes until lightly moist, add vegetables and giblets. Take off of burner and add other ingredients and stir. Put in 13x9x2 dish. Cover in foil and bake at 325°for 45 minutes. Take off foil brown another 15 minutes. This is also best placed around outside turkey when it is baking the juices add a wonderful flavor. (It's great to stuff turkey with this just make sure you remove it from turkey immediately when done, so bacteria can't grow)


This is my family traditional recipe, but due to my children I no longer make it because they don't like the raisins. Now we make a cornbread stuffing. I love all stuffings but this one here is by far the best.
