I have recently 'acquired' a cardiologist. Not delighted with the need for the addition, but I do like him and his straightforward approach.

Well depending on how the pelvic ultrasound goes I might "aquire" me a GYN specialist whenever it gets scheduled.

Grilled hot dogs and tater tots for dinner then maybe some caramel toffee ice cream or chocolate peanut butter swirl ice cream for dessert later on.

Tonight we carried a huge pot of ham bone and pinto beans to the neighbors, she made cornbread and iced tea. I also made dessert.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Ingredients
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar, plus 3/4 cup sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping
2 (3-ounce) packages strawberry gelatin dessert mix
2 cups boiling water
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen strawberries
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
Whipped topping or whipped cream, to garnish
Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
For the crust, mix the pretzels, butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Press this mixture into a 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 7 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar. Fold in the whipped topping, and spread over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until well chilled.
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, and allow to cool slightly. Add the strawberries and pineapple, and pour over the cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until serving time.
To serve, cut slices and serve with a dollop of whipped topping.

I seldom make the Strawberry Pretzel salad as it's all processed food and I try to cook real food. So that is my splurge in crappy junk food that tastes so dad-burned GOOD! but you can't have strawberries can you? I guess it would work with any kind of fruit.

Coffee is fresh brewed - have a cup. Oops, good morning, all.
