Things Only a Mom Would Know

One day my mother was out and my daddy was in charge. I was 2 1/2 years old and had just been given a little 'tea set;' it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, Mom came home. Dad had her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'

Mom waited, and sure enough, I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy. As mom watched him drink it up she said, (as only a mother would know... :) 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?'

Mexican Egg Casserole

Thanks Keri for sharing!

Mexican Egg Casserole

1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
12 eggs, lightly beaten
4 c. shredded Monterey jack cheese, divided
2 c. small-curd cottage cheese
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (I typically leave this out)
1 tsp dried oregano
2 TBS minced fresh cilantro or parsley (I typically leave this out)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Salsa, optional



In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add the eggs, 3 1/2 cups cheese, cottage cheese, tomatoes, chilies, onions, hot pepper sauce, oregano, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pour into an greased 13 x 9 x 2 in. baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 15 min. Reduce heat to 350 and bake 30 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with salsa if desired.

*I actually bake it and then add the cheese on top and put back in the oven to melt the cheese. I don't like the cheese on top baking for that long.

Yield: 8 servings
