Full Plate Thursday 5-12-11

It is 1:00 p.m. Texas time and Blogger has just now restored access to our blog's after being down almost 20 hours. This post was found in the Draft so that I could restore it and your post with linky help. Your comments are missing but at least we have the post. I will leave the linky open for a few more days to allow all of you to post if you would like.  Thank you for stopping by, after the storm.

It is so good to see you today. It is a beautiful Spring day here in the country. I hope that you will enjoy your day with us. There will be many of our old friend's and we will be meeting new ones. Now I can't wait to see what you have brought to share with us today. Thank you so much for coming, enjoy yourself and hope to see you next week!

Full Plate Thursday Background Story
When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".
I have just a few suggestions before you leave your dish and fill your plate.
  • Link directly to YOUR RECIPE and not to your web page 
  • Scroll down to the button that says "click here to enter"
  • You will be asked to give your URL ( which will be your direct link to your post), the name of your recipe, and your email which we will not be able to see.
  • Then you will be asked to select a thumbnail from your post that will be uploaded to your entry.
  • Please include a link back to Full Plate Thursday, somewhere on your post. We will give you a gentle reminder if you forget...
  • Please leave me a comment before you leave the page and let me know that you are here, I want to be a good hostess.
  • Don't forget to visit with all the others, after all that is part of the fellowship that makes it so much fun, in addition to all the good food of course...
  • Grab The Full Plate Button if you like and take it home with you.
  • Now God Bless you and your food and everyone fill your plate!

  27. Hi Miz Helen,

    Here is some Blackeyed Pea Soup with Veggies, a good way to save some money and eat healthy -- from scratch, using whole foods, in this easy-to-cook recipe.

    I love your cookie jar full of the grandson's favorites -- but it's no fair if the lid always gives him away, is it? Or does he just let you THINK it always gives him away?

    Hugs,
    Pat

  34. Oops! Sorry for posting my recipe twice! I thought the blogger issue deleted the first one. Normally I can't add them again if I goof up, so when it went through, I wasn't aware the first recipe was still up. Feel free to delete that second one. Very sorry for the goof!
