What A Sweetheart My Neighbor Is.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 15:53:15 GMT

Our neighbor about a 1/2 mile from here just called said, "I'm cooking and am bringing you guys dinner. I'm making stuffed shells and meatballs, I'll call when I leave the house."

DD will venture down the driveway and meet her, she is 64 and had knee surgery last year so we don't want her to risk carrying food even though we are plowed out.

What a doll she is, and the woman can cook to boot.

Such a contrast with the knucklehead next door.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 So nice to have wonderful neighbors, but I think you are, indeed, a nice neighbor also! Nice treat for a welcomed dinner. Sometimes, just wanting something different after all our months of cooking.

Sharing, kind neighbors are a gift from heaven. This year I have come to treasure mine.

Every so often I hear a honk and they wait to see me come out. Usually their excuse is a couple of fresh eggs.

Maybe the "knucklehead" who lives next door knows you better.

Wow so rude

@Greeneyedlady21 and @LizzieInSRQ I assume she objected to my term of knucklehead.

Well, what would you call someone who has 10 dogs and lets them run all over, doesn't spay or neuter. They are always in my yard. His bull gets in our yard too. He is too lazy to fix fences.

Does target practice at 11 at night for an hour.

Has junk cars and machinery all over his yard.

I'd say "knucklehead" is being kind.

Oh, well.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 He has a bull? Sounds like a lot of b....s to deal with😳☺

@Greeneyedlady21 Yep, a big old bull, horns and all. He likes to fertilize the lawn. He mosies around til they realize he out and they come and chase him back.

I feel sorry for the dogs, the females are always pregnant. More than one has been hit on the road. He just gets more.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

I admire your restraint, only calling him a knucklehead is so miled next to what I would call him.

@Shepherd no need to be so rude

Retired legal secretary you may have posted but i wondered how your daughters cake turned. Sounded delicious

@Terrywu Well, my oven went wonky, and it did not cook all the way through. Poor DD, the very top looked great but when she put a toothpick in it was wet. She said a few choice words. lol

The very top inch and probably a 1/2 inch around the whole cake was done. The rest was half cooked.

The very edge was wonderful. I have to get a new stove, it's 14 yrs. old and I'm not fixing this one.

We will do the cake again.

Ours keeps sending gifts whenever my DH brings in her mail. He's to the point of not wanting to tell me there's another present under the tree! Yes, we give her gifts, but only three small ones this year.

Update, DD just went out and got the food. There were also 2 slices of an apple pie she made. Let's jusr say we have enough food for supper tonight and lunch tomorrow.

What a very kind and generous neighbor.

@LizzieInSRQ After the 40 minutes at 350 and it was still not cooked she put itin for 10 more minutes. It was weird, the toothpick came out clean in one spot and 1/2 inch away it was just batter.

I told her to cover the top and jack the temp to 375 for 10 minutes. Very tip top layer and perimeter was cooked rest was not.

It looked great.............until you tried to cut it. Batter does not cut well. lol
