Friday 6/26/20 Murder Mystery, Cleaning, and BAKED RICE PUDDING

In the morning, I did some cleaning and organizing and got my disguises ready for this afternoons ZOOM Murder Mystery that Marlene and I are participating in.  The Dale Association is putting it on.  I will be two characters:  Baldwin Shootsmore and Jigsaw Jane.

I took one phone call from my auto insurance company.

I made cheese biscuits to go with the soup I took out of the freezer and then decided to make some rice pudding using this recipe

BAKED OLD FASHIONED RICE PUDDING!!
This pudding turns out in a lovely custard texture. .
2/3 c. Minute Rice
2 3/4 c. milk
1/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
14 tsp. nutmeg
Cinnamon
1/2 c. raisins
How to make this recipe
First step Combine Minute Rice, milk & raisins, sugar, butter, salt, vanilla & nutmeg in a buttered 1 quart baking dish.
Second step Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 h, stirring after 15 mins & again when pudding is done.
Third step Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Finally step Serve warm or chilled. Pudding thickens as it stands

 I got my costume items ready for the online MURDER MYSTERY event at the Dale.   I really enjoyed this activity.  



 Peg called just as I was thinking of a nap.  She and David were on their way home from the Amish wedding they attended in Middleport this morning.  Irma Beachy got married.   Peg said she was going to come over and work in the garage a while.  I told her I would join her after I rested a bit.

 I helped Peg for a while and then offered to go pick up supper for the two of us.  Peg agreed.  First, I went to Chiavetta's hoping to get half chickens but it was so crowded that I decided to go to Wendy's and get us salads.  We ate out in my backyard.  I provided rice pudding, and Peggy really liked it.   Peg wanted to continue working a bit, so I joined her. Peg found this large poster

At seven p.m. I told Peg that it was time for her to quit.  She had worked several hours.  She agreed.  

Mary Anne called and we talked for a couple of minutes.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

 I got to the church around ten forty a.m.   I asked Lou to let me in to the office area and he did.  I picked up the boxes of cards, list of names and the printed Christmas carols and then I went down to the basement and looked for the "sugars" for the tea.  I found a few.  Then I located the case of bottles of water, but it was heavy, so I located Lou again and he carried it to the kitchen.   Once I got back to the kitchen, I looked for more "sugars" but couldn't find any, so I went to the COFFEE BAR, and they filled a bowl with different types for me.  I got the silverware ready.  I opened up the packaging that held the tablecloths captive (I have had difficulty opening them in the past) so that they would be ready to go.  David and Jan both came at the end of the service.  Jan located the floral displays for the tables, and we started to put the red tablecloths on the tables.  By this time, we had a lot of other helper...

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...
