Why My Mother Is Hilarious.

I asked for a few recipes in preparation for Thanksgiving.  Here is what I got.  You want to make these, too, trust me.

"Debby's Potato Casserole

8 to 10 potatoes, peeled, cooked, mashed

8 oz cream cheese softened

8 oz sour cream

1/2 c melted butter

1/4 c chopped chives

1 clove garlic minced

2 t salt

paprika -- sprinkle on top

oil casserole, refirgerate overnight, set out for 15 minutes, bake @350 for 30 minutes

 

Thats all the instructions I have--probably just mix everything together.

 

Debby's Cranberry Relish

2 pkg chopped raw cranberries (washed)

2 c chopped apples

1 c sugar ( I never put this much in)

1 c orange marmalade

1 c pecans chopped

1/6 c lemon juice

mix and refrigerate--gets better with age (like me)"

And here is what made me laugh out loud.  I love my mom.

 

"So you have a restful couple of days--DO NOT GO CRAZY GETTING READY FOR US- remember we're family and we've seen you throw up so we just want to see you (not throwing up this time) and be with you--simplicity and peace is the key--oh, I'd love a game of killer scrabble or a card game.  Your plans sound wonderful.  I can't wait! 

Love, Mom"

Well, I guess since you've seen me throw up...
