Time Set!!!

Thanks so much to my friend, a great teacher and crafter extraordinaire, LIBBY, who patiently instructed me how to set the correct time on this site!!! Golly - it even matches the clock on my monitor!

I ate too much at a Mothers Day dinner at church today. Out of all the Lutheran churches I've belonged to or even just attended, I have found they love to eat good foods! I ended up taking a 3-bean salad in addition to the chocolate peanut clusters that didn't quite set up hard... That was because I just melted the candy in the microwave and stirred in the peanuts instead of crock-potting them. Well, I didn't have enough time. But they must have tasted ok since there were none left to bring home!

I know, DorothyAda, I'll do it right the next time. I didn't get any white almond bark (subbed a bar of white chocolate) or German chocolate (subbed a bar of Hershey special dark choc). Otherwise I had the rest of the ingredients! Those are big heavy bars for baking or candy purposes.

Out on the lone Prairie??

Santa was here for Wed. and Thursday, he got out Deere John and rode around for a while. Now it looks like there was a farm tractor with mower out making hay! There's also patches of brown where the grass seed hasn't managed to sprout through the straw, so it looks like we need a baler to come over.

Don't anyone tell my sister, but I'm gonna try to make that Crock Pot Peanut Cluster recipe she sent to me for the Mothers' Day Dinner at church tonight. See, I kinda put up a big fuss about what she was trying to do to me by sending that recipe, and she got all apologetic, which is highly unusual for a person of her uppityness. So I guess I should maybe share it with you all. Or maybe I should try it first in case she gave me the wrong ingredients so I'd get sick if I tried to sample it or hide it from Santa so I could have it all if it was great.

I just read that. Wow, what tricky sentences I can come up with when I really try!

So here it is:

Crock Pot Peanut Clusters

2 -15 oz Cans Peanuts (salted)
1 pkg (11.5) Milk Choc Morsels
1 bar German Choc
1 pkg White Almond Bark

Place peanuts in bottom of crock pot.
Layer all the choc on top of peanuts (break up German Choc Bar and Almond Bark).
Cover and cook on low for two hours –DO NOT remove lid & DON'T stir during the two hours.
Choc will look like nothing has happened, but after two hours choc will be melted.
Stir to combine and scoop onto waxed paper with teaspoon or tablespoon
(depending on the size clusters you wish).
Cool and store at room temp.

OK, I'm done being a good pal for now. Have to go to the store for ingredients!! Too bad they didn't have crock pots out on the lone prairie in the olden days.....

Timeliness

Wish I could figure out how to change the time on here - it's posting 3 hours earlier, like Pacific time and I'm Eastern. Have to be brave and keep searching, but it's almost 9 pm here and I need to get my cup of tea ready.

What an Experience!

Wow - all I wanted to do was post a comment on a friend's blog and look what I had to do. Here I am with no idea of how or why to do this. But I will blunder merrily along. After I watch Grey's...
