Today I did a short podcast about our great Thanksgiving Day dinner and then I finished it off with a few corny jokes about Thanksgiving. And I will try to tell y'all our story and put-it-on-a- bumper sticker for you. So here we go.
Recently our dear friends and neighbors over at the Texas Hill Country Resort, which is now under new ownership and management, had invited us to join them for their 1st Annual Thanksgiving Dinner. So, I decided to bring my Cousin Nancy's Grape Salad that is so delicious and easy to make.
Well, to be honest with y'all, this grape salad recipe was actually Sandy's recipe that I stole from her and made it mine. Anyway, it's no big deal, because I steal all of my friends and family's recipes and they all know it. Anyway, here is this simple mouth-watering recipe that everyone loves.
A few days ago, Tony and I went to the little H.E.B. in Kerrville, so I could pick up the ingredients, to make this delicious grape salad.
So yesterday morning I gathered the ingredients for Cousin Nancy's Grape Salad and it only took me about 20 minutes!
Anyway, before I poured this creamy mixture into a small container for us to eat later at home, and then I poured the rest of the salad into a disposable, squared-foil-pan. Then I tasted it and it was OK.
But it just wasn't as delicious as it should be, so I figured I should have bought red, seedless grapes too instead of only using green grapes this time. (And please note: I would have purchased some red grapes too, but they were just too darn expensive.)
When Tony and I arrived at the Texas Hill Country Resort, Karen their super-friendly new manager greeted us outside, before we walked into the Rec Hall to join the party.
Omg! When Tony and I walked inside the building there had to be about 60 or more friendly faces, and rows and rows and rows of chairs and tables set with plates, and there was so much food prepared, there was only one spot left for me to squeeze-in my green-grape's-only salad.
To say the least, all of the food was totally delicious and there was so much of it almost everyone went back for seconds. Seriously, it was one awesome Thanksgiving Dinner feast.
Tone and I enjoyed eating with our friends Ricky and her husband Royce, and we also enjoyed visiting with Becky & John and many other friends.
We had so much fun after our fabulous dinner visiting with friends we were almost the last ones to leave the building. And after saying our goodbyes, as we were leaving to go home, Tony asked me if I wanted to take our salad home, but I didn't want to, because it just didn't taste right.
Later that night while we were watching the Cowboys defeat New York I went to the kitchen to get another glass of my cheap, boxed, Franzia Chillable Red Wine and I glanced over at the counter and I saw this!
I laughed out loud, and then I said, "Tony! Look at what I forgot to put into the salad today. No wonder it didn't taste right." And he and I began to laugh. Then I said, "And you and I are not going to tell anyone about this. Okay? It'll be our little secret."
So yesterday morning after my first cup of coffee, I opened-up the jar of marshmallow creme and added some of it to our grape salad. And it was totally delicious!
Now it is Make Me Laugh Time!

And I especially want to apologize to those who ate Sandy's Grape Salad Thursday at the dinner, because mine is so much better with marshmallow creme.
Y'all take care and keep on laughing!
