Pappy I'll have you know that I had not forgotten our good friends Macca and Mr. Mike, as we will need judges for the pickles, preserves, collard greens, jam and jelly entrants. Mr. Mike can also help out with the bacon contest.
And lest we forget, you and Crackah and I should also plan on judging the delicious homemade ice creams. So bring a large cooler with your truck.
Thank ya, PAPPY! For lookin' out for me!!! 
I'm tellin' ya, Jimbo!!! You'd better not try to keep me away from that dessert table!! I just might have to enlist the assistance of my good pal, Scrappy Pappy!!!2100 ♥♥♥

OHHH!!! So you are the guys that planted the trees! I know the people who donated the trees, friends of ours.
I offered to donate a bench for the treeway but never heard back from anyone.
I try to get involved but seems like this community action stuff is sort of a tight group to join into.
Someday soon I think I may have to reveal my true identity?
But then you would all know where we live and be knocking on our doors for sweets. hey, that might be a good idea, we love company.

I have a neat bacon recipe. i can't take credit for it though I saw it on Paula Deanes show on food network.
She took crackers and piled 1 Tbsp of shredded parm cheese on it then took a raw bacon strip and wrapped the cheese cracker up in it. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 250 till bacon is crisp.
I havn't tried them yet but they looked yummy! I am a cheese freak so anything with cheese is good for me!

Blessings, since you offered the bench I already KNOW who you are. Sorry we haven't called but that will be rectified.
As for the sweets, start baking those pies Sugar. Pappy, Crackah and I will be over soon!
BTW, there is plenty of room for local volunteerism and you are more than Welcome to join us with the Arboretum efforts, which are ongoing and will be much much larger than simply what you see now!
And since you are friends with Jerry and Janet, that would instantly make you "good people."

UH-OH I knew it was just a matter of time before I said something to let the cat out of the bag. I was trying so hard to keep it under wraps. Now I can't be as outspoken as I would like to.
Let us know what we can do to help we love getting involved and doing things for the community.
Now don't tell who we are, let everyone keep guessing.

Collards and Pickles vs. Cake and Pie??? That's a sad tale you're tellin' Macca.
No worries though!!! The all time best pie and cake baker is back! Kris'll join the bake off and there will be lots to go around. We'll all be up to our chinny chin chins in chocolate 'fore long!
Woo Hoo!!!

OK, I've got to dig out some tried and true chocolate recipes but in the meantime, here's one that I got in my email from one of my Bunco buddies. I missed the night she served it but everybody's been ravin' about it so it must be good! I can't wait to try it out!
Broccoli Slaw:
One package broccoli slaw
3 ribs celery, chopped
½ green pepper, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
½ c. veg oil
2 t. soy sauce
¼ c. white vinegar
½ c. sugar
½ c. slivered almonds
1 c. crispy chow mein noodles
Chop celery, green pepper and green onion. Toss in broccoli slaw.
Mix sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar, whisk and let stand for 20 minutes.
Whisk again, add oil.
Whisk dressing again before adding to the vegetables.
Do not pour the dressing on the vegetables too early.
It will create too much extra juice.
It is best to pour it on the vegetables about 20 minutes before serving.
Top with noodles and almonds just before serving.

I have a recipe similar to that one Kris. It is YUMMY! One variation in my recipe calls for Ramen noodles crumbled over the salad before serving and the seasoning packet from said noodles to be mixed in with the dressing. I've also used regular cole slaw mix instead of broccoli slaw and it's tasty.

| BTW: A while back we were talking about meatloaf recipes and Crackah said himmer put bacon strips on top sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I bought a large pack of ground round and made a meatloaf in my crockpot that day. I made up a second loaf and froze it, then made hamburger patties out of the rest. Last night I took out the frozen meatloaf and put bacon strips on top before baking it. I wasn't sure how my family would take this, since I'd never made it this way before... In addition to creating an enticing fragrance throughout the house, it added a nice taste to the meatloaf as well -- a big hit!! Thanks for the suggestion, Crackah!! ♥♥♥

You're welcome for the recipe macca but I must confess that I said that I leave the bacon off because I use "cheap" meat and it's greasy enough without the bacon.
That statement caused an uprising among the Bacon Brigade!

| ACtually, Crackah, I knew that you said you leave it off, but it was still your recipe! And I do remember all the ire expressed by Mr. Mike and Pappy!!! ♥♥♥
