Four Foods on Friday #19
If it’s Friday it must be time for my weekly visit to Val’s place, where we all talk about food and share some kitchen fun for Four Foods on Friday. There’s still time for you to join us. Just answer the questions on your own blog, then post a link to the comments on Val’s post. Watch for her comments on each entry late today.
#1. Do you ever use scissors to cut any foods? Which? Raw or cooked?
I’ve misplaced my kitchen shears. The last time I remember using them was a few weeks ago when I took them out to the herb garden to cut some rosemary and garlic chives. I use them to open packages and cut all kinds of food. They’re really handy for cutting raw meat into small pieces for stir fry, jambalaya and other dishes (but remember to sanitize after cutting raw meat!) I guess I’ll be buying some new ones soon if they don’t turn up.
#2. Popcorn. Homemade, microwave, bagged, hot, cold. How do you like it?
What I prefer is the buttery-flavored microwave variety. What I usually “allow” myself to have is the plain, unbuttered type. I like it just-popped hot, but would eat cold leftovers if I ever left any!
#3. Sushi. Love it or hate it?
Sushi is very popular in Hawaii. You can even buy trays or bento boxes of it at the convenience stores. I’m not crazy about it. I’ve never eaten the raw fish variety, and prefer a bigger ratio of meat or veggies to rice than sushi offers.
#4. Share a dessert recipe.
As you can see from the photo, this is an old favorite recipe. I got it from a lady who used to bring it to church dinners way back when I lived near New Orleans - over twenty years ago! It’s about time to preserve it before it crumbles away, don’t you agree? If you can’t read the original, here’s how to make Pink Lemonade Pie. It’s super-easy and tastes like a dreamsicle! I’ve developed an allergy to citrus and can’t eat it anymore. I’ve tried with other, non-citrus juices, but it doesn’t set up well.
1 6 ounce can of frozen lemonade (pink)
1 can Eagle Brand Milk (condensed - not evaporated!)
1 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip
Mix together, add a few drops of red food color and pour into a pie crust (I prefer a graham crust.) Refrigerate to set. Think of me when you enjoy that first slice!

[…] Skeet shared a recipe for Pink Lemonade Pie and likes microwave popcorn. For anyone that doesn’t read Skeet’s blog regularly, you don’t know what you’re missing. Stuff like this shows what great character she has. (And she runs a fun game the Tuesday Teaser every week and a feel good meme Share Some Good Stuff every Thursday.) […]

Skeet… I just sent you an email - I told you I wasn’t sure where I found your site from as I’d been hopping around.. I’m such a ditz! I was reading my OWN blog comments and you’d commented on my FFoF comment about popcorn - bacon grease, butter and salt.
Your recipe sounds delicious! I think I’ll try it for our Easter dinner family get together.

It really is a nice pie to serve in warm weather, Corrin, but I used to eat it year round because I like it so much.

Mahalo for the Stumble, Val! And mahalo for hosting FFoF, my favorite mem!

Oh, yeah, Blair - church lady recipes are the best. I’ve got scads of them I’ve collected over the years plus a couple of recipe books of them.

I had the same experience, Judy. I knew I knew you, but wasn’t sure of the connection with my FFoF visits until I came back here & saw your comment.
Hope you enjoy the pie!
