Hello everyone!!! Warm weather we are having in the River Valley. We are having our big Wagoner family Thanksgiving this Saturday, so you know I’m going to have stories to tell. My niece, Kelly — the funny one — has gotten remarried and her new last name is Winklepleck. How many are betting I can’t pronounce that name?? I’m not even sure if she can. So we have a newbie to break in at the crazy Wag family gathering. I’m even letting him bring food. I told him if he messes up, I will go easy on him since it’s his first year. His wife, my niece Kelly, is never allowed to bring deviled eggs again. She brought them one year and they were awful. I had to tell her they were real bad. You can’t tell a group of Wags the deviled eggs are not edible — you could have a gang fight. I won’t even start on the turkey carcass she left in the car for over a month. Her new husband actually said he wants the turkey carcass. I feel a story coming. Why would anyone want a turkey carcass?? I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I guess it’s because I know we are having Thanksgiving, but I have been wanting to eat all the time. I think I could eat a table leg I’ve been feeling so hungry. I am going on a diet after the holidays. How many times have we heard that story?? I’ve told y’all about some of the dumb stuff I have done. This is in the top ten for sure. I’ve done all kinds of diets: Dexatrim (aka speed), no fat, no flour or sugar, counting calories, diet pills of some sort (I don’t remember the name), walking two miles a day — I have done it all except I haven’t had my mouth wired shut. This is the one that was crazy. Someone told a friend of mine’s mom about a doctor in Van Buren that could put a little tiny ring — I believe it was called an acupressure ring — inside your ear and you would lose weight. Well, count me in. I’m all for that. Lose weight and eat what you want and just have a little ring in your ear. I was all for that. Honey, I left that doctor’s office thinking I would be skinny in a matter of months. Wrong-o!! That thing fell out the first week and it was a waste of money and I never lost an ounce. Moral of the story is: just eat less and walk more. That all being said — after the holidays, I’m going on a diet for real. Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! This will be a good salad to serve at Thanksgiving. I got the recipe from a friend of mine, Rhonda. Cherry Pie Filling Salad 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (20-ounce) can crushed or tidbit pineapples (drained) 1 (12-ounce) tub of Cool Whip 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows You can also add a handful of nuts and a handful of shredded coconut to this recipe — makes it more yummy. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together real good and keep in the refrigerator. It needs to chill for at least two hours before serving. Enjoy!!
