Indian Corn Casserole
Laura Jinkins, Texas
One of our favorite holiday foods is Indian Corn Casserole. My mother
first introduced this recipe to our family Thanksgiving meal. It
quickly became a favorite. After I married, I made it for my husband's
family our first Thanksgiving together. My father-in-law loved it so
much that he had me write the recipe down and then he kept it in his
briefcase under lock and key!!!
Here's the recipe:
3 well-beaten eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. sugar
6 oz. sharp process American cheese, shredded
2 (17 oz.) cans whole kernel corn, drained
10 slices of bacon, crisp
In a bowl, combine eggs, flour and sugar. Beat mixture thoroughly. Add
cheese and corn. Crumble bacon, reserving 1/4 of it for top of
casserole; add and stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Turn
mixture into a 10x6x1 and 1/2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining
bacon on top. Bake at 350 degrees until knife inserted in center comes
out clean, about 30 minutes.
I usually double this recipe and bake in a 9x13 glass Pyrex dish, and
leave it in the oven just a little longer. It should be cooked well
enough that you can serve it in squares.

Memorial Day: Backyard Grilling Memorial Day signals the start of barbecue season. Everyone wants to light that fire and charcoal that first meal. A few tips might pre- vent your entree from becoming a "Burnt Offering."
Read these tips for plenty of grilling ideas, make this year's barbecue perfect!
Growing and Using Garlic Chives Garlic chives, Allium tuberosum, is a hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that will grow to about 12 inches high. The stems are skinnier and flat, instead of hollow as are regular chives, with greenish white blooms that are about an inch wide and not as rounded. They bloom in the summer rather than spring. The bloom stalks grow much taller than the leaves, sometimes up to 30 inches.
The stems and blooms are both edible and have a mild garlic onion taste. I've noticed many writers will list this as primarily as an Asian herb, as they are also known as Chinese chives, Chinese leeks, ku chai (China) or Nira (Japan), but it has many other uses as well!
The Perfect Porch Swing Perhaps it is the soothing rhythm or the reassuring creak of the porch swing that attracts us. Perhaps it is the companionable silence or quiet conversation. Or maybe swings simply remind us of more genteel times.
Although porch swings can be purchased in a wide range of materials, the most common are wicker and wood. You can also make your own porch swing from one of the myriad of woodworking patterns available at garden centers, hardware stores, or on the Internet.
