Note from Serenity: A few days ago I posted a good article on the “re-branding” of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. It is a great article and recalled the memories of many of us of what used to be a great travel or even local rest stop. It wasn’t derogatory  by any means, just “put the store to bed so to speak. As an update, in view of the massive monetary loss in the market and the wide spread negative response from millions of fans, it seems that the CEO is taking a second look. She says things will be restored back to the original image we all remember. So it is possible that an obituary may be premature. We shall see as time goes on. Is she lying to us to save herself or could she be sincere? Only time will tell. Have a great rest of the week and Happy Labor Day (a few days early) By the by, Labor day September 1st, is also the meteorological first day of Autumn. EDIT: BTW, I have not deleted the article just moved it. I can put it in it’s own page for anyone who wants to read it.1

Publius says:
  1. For those of you that don’t know, there are 2 1st days of autumn Sept 1st is the meteorological 1st day of fall. Where the weather starts to change to the fall pattern. Sept 22nd will be the astronomical 1st day of fall or as its called, the Equinox. Hope that clears things up. [↩]
So say we all

Here is something that has become a tradition in our house. Sausage Cheese Balls! I make them on Thanksgiving and Christmas Morning. This is the original recipe from the Bisquick Cookbook. There are many recipes out there but this will get you started

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound uncooked bulk pork sausage (Jimmy Dean ® Premium Pork Roll Sausage You can use hot, or mild, your choice Or use your favorite instead of Jimmy Dean.)
  • 3 cup all-purpose baking mix (Bisquick ® )
  • 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients in large bowl just until blended. Shape into (1-inch) balls.
  2. Place in lightly greased baking pans.
  3. Bake 20-25 minutes or until done (160°F). ( I find 18 minutes is perfect but ovens do vary
  4. Enjoy!
