New Columns
My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Gainesville Times. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.
His latest was published on November 21th. Click here to read Arthur's piece on the impact of the Internet.
My November 13th column is about the Honor Flight Network for WWII veterans. Click here to read it.
Cell Phones for Soldiers
Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas. The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad. Click
Trees, Trees, Trees!
The Gainesville Evening Optimist Club's 53rd Annual Christmas Tree and Wreath Fundraiser opens on Black Friday, November 27th. You'll find beautiful trees of all sizes and hand crafted wreaths at the tree lot on Browns Bridge Road next to Gallery (Wolfman's) Furniture.
The Gainesville Evening Optimist Club is dedicated to serving the kids of our area and your tree purchase helps further that mission. Stop by the tree lot any time...if there's no one there, you can just pick out your tree and drop a check through the "Honest John" slot in the door. How's that for easy?
Angel Tree
It's heartwarming to see how many people step up to help others during this season of giving. We get lots of folks in shopping for needy families. May I make a suggestion? Why not give a N2N gift certificate as part of your Angel Tree gift?
I've discovered that often those who would most benefit from resale shopping don't know about us. They spend their meager clothing budget at cut-rate discount stores where the clothing is poorly made and wears out in no time. The same money goes MUCH further here at N2N and the items are well-made name brands and mall brands that are far more durable and (IMHO) cuter, too.
We'll be glad to convert some of your store credit into a gift certificate or sell you a credit to use as part of your Christmas giving. You'll know the recipient will be able to find great fashions and learn about the many benefits of resale shopping at the same time. Now, that's the gift that keeps on giving!
Very Best Mac and Cheese
Ernestine Dubose makes what is undoubtedly the best macaroni and cheese I've ever tasted. She's constantly being asked to make it for church socials, wedding receptions, family reunions and any other special occasion. She generously gave me her recipe, just in time for Thanksgiving. I've added it to the recipe blog that I put together for our daughter Molly when she moved to Mississippi last summer. Click
Also, CBS's Sunday Morning had an entire feature dedicated to mac and cheese. Click here to see it.
I also came across this quick and easy corn casserole in case you're looking for another side dish for Thanksgiving dinner.
Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn bread mix
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
1 cup sour cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine butter, eggs, corn bread mix, whole and creamed corn and sour cream. Spoon mixture into prepared dish.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown.
