Dearest Aunty HiC,
I am so very sorry I’ve not been very chatty Katty lately, but this heat wave has us all in a funk here on The Hill.
I got out on the porch early this morning, hoping to enjoy some peace and quiet before it got too hot. Between Mom’s stinky gardenia plant, and the noisy Wren family, there was no peace to be had! I’m about to really lose my COOL! 😹
❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew

Molmol dearest nephew! Uncle and I feel so bad for you and the pups w beautiful furry bodies in the heat, that is a loooooooud mouth bird! My birdese is rusty but I think I heard him say a cuss word to you.
Oh dear me lots of your senses are being abused: ears, nose and that camera in your face.
Try not to lose what little bit of cool you have.
Lovingly your Aunty HiC and uncle
Today I'm sharing a very tasty and refreshing family favorite
for the hot hazy humid days of summer
Official title is
Seafoam Lime Mold:
A dramatic party salad mold to dazzle any menu
Kat's Mom, Kit, makes a very similar salad...they call it
Green Stuff!!
 |
Ingredients: crushed walnuts, crushed pineapple, lime jello, cream cheese, lemon juice, water and marshmallows
1-3 oz package of lime flavored gelatin 1 cup boiling water 1/2 cup cold water 1- 8 oz Cream cheese* (I only use 4 ozs,) 1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows 1 2/3 cup crushed pineapple drained 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional ingredient, we like walnuts) |
Dissolve lime gelatin in boiling water; add cold water and lemon juice.
Gradually add to soften cream cheese, mixing well til blended, I use a fork
to press the cream cheese against the bowl
It should look like this:
Chill until almost firm; fold in marshmallows, nuts and pineapple.
Pour into a 1 qt mold or you can leave in the bowl.
You can actually visualize the marshmallows as
the foam in a cool green sea it even sparkles like the sun is shining on it.
Chill until firm. Makes 4-6 servings.
I never thought these words would come out of my I Scream lovin' mouth
but this is at least as good as I Scream.
