All I Wanted Was A Cheese Ball And Instead I Got Petticoat Junction

8/15/2011

 
8:30PM Sunday Night.

Who DOESN'T want a cheese ball at that time?

Normal people you say?

Pffffttt.


Is all I have to say.

So I open up my crude recipe binders and look for my super simple, super tasty, super quick, super CHEAP Cheese Ball recipe that I know is in there. A fun client from my former life had given me the recipe. I know the recipe is in these binders. In a sheet protector. Because that's where it's always been, for seven years.

But my cheese ball recipe isn't there.

And then I remember I gave that recipe out in Christmas cards last year to family and friends. I had printed the recipe out and pasted it on pretty recipe cards, like the one below.

Except that the Christmas recipe card had a cheese ball recipe on it. And pictures of candy canes and Christmas ornaments. Although Ima be trying this Easy Apple Crisp recipe from Allison sometime this fall.

Then it dawned on me, dun, dun, dun! (I say that a lot in my head).
Now cue the music from Jaws.....na-NAH, na-NAH-, na-NAH

CRAP!!! That recipe is in my Christmas card bag....



In the living room closet!!!!!!

Deposited in there 10 months ago.......

I'm wondering if I can find it in there. I get heart palpitations every time I go in there..


Holy Batmobile!!!!!! It's worse than the last time I opened it !

WHY can't I have nice, pretty, organized closets?

WHY!!!???

I don't even have kids at home anymore and yet I still can't quite get one closet  organized.

Okay, in this picture, the closet doesn't look too bad, right?

Well, how about this? Huh?



Does that weird fur thing that I have no idea what it belongs to; does that scare you?






No?

Picture


Well then, how about this craptastic mess?
 

See those cupboard doors?

Those go on my kitchen cupboards.


See that pretty painting of a lady? I love that. I really need to put that in a safer place, like, probably another closet that I rarely go into...maybe the closet with the vacuum cleaner.

Wait a minute!!! Hold on there!

I see something.*Dig, dig, scratch, curse, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig*

HEY! It's some old VCR things and DVD's.
Picture


What is that??? 

No!
That can't be!


Picture



It's my Petticoat Junction DVD!!!


Holla if you remember Betty Jo, Bobbie Jo and Billie Jo!

Holla if you wanted to be the pretty blonde one even though I can't remember which Jo she was!!!

Holla if you were more like the red-headed tomboy one.



Whatev.

Anyway,  I can't find my Christmas bag in the closet (shocking I know), but the recipe is so simple even though I can't remember it completely.
I finally look on the computer to see if I had saved it from last Christmastime and guess what?

CHEESE BALL RECIPE
A simple, simple recipe and extremely affordable to make. And yet oh so tasty!  Works great for parties, school functions, or when you're home at 8:30 on Sunday night and hungry. See above ingredients and Directions.


Just three ingredients and thirty seconds of chopping.....corned beef, green onion tops, and Philadelphia cream cheese. See client's special note at the top of the recipe card above.
Mix the three ingredients together, form into a ball and, and wallah!
A Cheese Ball is born!
Picture
Serve with Ritz crackers and be sure to sample some for yourself. Just to make sure it's not poison and all.

(It's exhausting always looking out for other people.)


Now, guess who I'm gonna trick into watching Petticoat Junction
with me this week???

This smart guy humors me all.the.time. Happy wife. Happy Life.

Hey Tim!

How about I make Flambe Filet Mignon tonight with Gruyere Potatoes?

What? That would be good with you? Cool. No, I know it's not cheat night and we should be eating vegetarian tonight. It's just that you've been working such long, hard hours, I thought some red meat would be good for you. With bacon wrapped around it.  Yeah? Cool.

Oh, I forgot, I got a movie for us to watch tonight too. It's supposed to be really good.  What? I don't remember the name, hey, the phone's ringing, gotta go answer it...........
