One Christmas I thought I was gonna be a big shot and make a casserole for the FATZ Christmas party… I planned on making 2 since there were gonna be about 30 people there… I was so proud of myself… I went to the store and bought all of the ingredients… I was making the casserole that I wrote about a few days ago… the one that my Grandma Maudie taught me how to make… I just knew the recipe by heart after that letter she sent me, so I thought I would give it a try…
After mixing and chopping and stirring and boiling… I put all the ingredients into the casserole dishes and prepared to wait an hour…
After the hour was up… I was ready to sample to make sure it was right… I got a big spoon full and YUCK!!! It was awful… the rice was not done and it tasted like like little peanuts in the casserole…
I thought that maybe it needed to cook longer…. I waited about 30 more minutes… Then still the same thing…. Little peanuts….
I cooked some more and this time added some water… 30 minutes later… still nothing…
By this time it was almost 11:30 pm… I had no idea what was wrong… Thankfully this was before Maudie passed away… I knew she would be awake because she always watched channel 7 news before she went to bed…. Sooo,,,
I called her… I told her exactly what I had done… when I told her how much rice I added, she said …. “Uh Oh”…. I had put a whole cup of rice… it was supposed to be a half a cup…. Thus.. little peanuts…
The casseroles were a loss and I had to go buy some pre-made something for our Christmas party… How Sad!!!

Well, at least you tried right? I'm sure Miss Maudie was proud of the effort. I made a Mexican Cornbread casserole one time. I thought it was pretty good. I like casseroles and stuff all mixed up anyway. It had ground beef and beans,cheese, some other stuff I can't remember, and a cornbread topping. My family took one bite and said *@#$%^*&! Don't ever make this again! They still laugh at my casserole, they can be mean so!
