I went to another estate sale last weekend. It is beginning to become an addiction with me. And that's all I need, one more addiction LOL But Alex invited me to meet him up there and so I thought I would. You never know what you will find there and I did walk away with a few treasures. As you know, I love cookbooks and they had a bunch to choose from. The ones I got were all church cookbooks so that always makes me happy. I also bought a Tupperware deviled egg container. Anytime I make deviled eggs, I always have to store them in a pan and that's never convenient because they tend to slide around. So, when I saw this, I snatched it up. Actually, I bought one just like it the week before at another estate sale but I accidentally left it on the holding table and didn't realize it until the next day. Oh well. I was glad to find another one so soon. Now, I feel obligated to make some deviled eggs LOL
I tried two new recipes for my Sunday lunch. I was making a Chinese beef casserole, which I have made before, and wanted a good side to go with it. After researching on the internet, I found a recipe for an Asian slaw with ginger peanut dressing. It sounded good so I gave it a try. I really liked it, the dressing especially. Then I made a dessert called Nantucket Cranberry Pie. When I was taking stuff out of my old freezer in anticipation of my new freezer, I realized that I had lots of cranberries in there. Six bags of them. I think I got so many because you can only get them around here around Thanksgiving and Christmas. So I have been finding cranberry recipes and came upon this one. It's good but not what I was expecting. I would not call it a pie as much as simply a baked dessert. It's cranberries and pecans topped with basically an almond flavored cookie. It just looks like a pie LOL Still, if you like cranberries it's pretty good and I will probably make it again at a later date.
It's always good to get out of the house and to try new things. Here's hoping this week brings more of that!
