What a game!

I’m sure all of Minnesota is celebrating! The Vikings came through with an unbelievable win. Almost too much excitement for an old lady! This is getting to be a really long winter, which makes me want to make meals to keep us warm. Whenever Pa Lloyd asks me what we are having and I answer salisbury steak he says, “Oh, dressed-up hamburger, huh?” Which is true, but we like it and it is warm and comforting. I hope you will enjoy it too! I received a phone call on my answering machine from a lady last week asking me a question regarding a recipe. I copied the phone number down, but apparently heard it wrong as the call wouldn’t go through, and I deleted the message. So, whoever you are, please call again and I will try to help.
