"Judy's Joes..."

My friend Judy's

Sloppy Joes are a #1 favorite request of my family.

My poor recipe card

looks like she's really been around the block a time or two

as several decades of kitchen smudges and a few messy splatters

have tarnished her once pristine white crispness.

(Guess it happens to the best of us! ) LOL :)

These delicious sandwiches have filled our tummies

on all kinds of family get-togethers...

and were a

absolute "must" during Sycamore Pumpkin Fests each October.

I made these Saturday for "pre holiday get-together" today.

Mmm...mmm...mmm!

There is just something very heartwarming

about

those good old-fashioned seasonal comfort foods we

make over and over again.

My illo above was drawn on the back side

of the butcher wrap from Basha's supermarket...

and was made

while I was waiting for the meat to brown.

It was fun to discover a new "paper" on which to draw!

I don't think

I ever really paid much attention to such mundane things

"before" EDM!

Ooooh! MY!

"Life before EDM"??? WAS there such a thing???

LOL :)
