It's happening isn't it...FALL. Color change, Halloween and Festivals, like Scarecrow Fest
When I think of scarecrows, I think of the Wizard of Oz. And when I was a kid, I was terrified of that movie. I HATED IT! But I think this year, it's about time I get over the "Wizard Fear", and I have just the ticket! I'm going to make a scarecrow for the Scarecrow Festival here in Algoma in a few weeks. It will be the last "hurrah" before I get my new ankle on the 17th.
From what I understand Scarecrow Fest is a really cool event where you can enter your scarecrow for a chance to win prizes. Everyone comes and checks out the entries, eats chili, has refreshments and a ton of fun. I hear there was even a jellyfish scarecrow one year and another year someone taped up her husband to create a see-through shell for her scarecrow. My brain is working overtime right now, thinking of something to do. I love projects. So put it on your calender, October 4th and 5th at Garden Angels, located just south of Algoma at N6695 Hwy 42. (Check out the Chamber of Commerce for mo
re information.) In fact spend a night at the Inn with my husband and I. We've decided to stay open after my surgery. Belle Isle Inn will offer a re-construction special, you know, instead of a pardon our dust deal, we'll have a pardon our continental meal deal (since I won't be doing the four course breakfasts for a good 6 weeks until my cast is off.) My husband can take care of us. He is such a good guy, my husband, and a great Innkeeper!!

Things always have a way of working out don't they? Speaking of...We had a wonderful experience at Lakeside Community Church on Sunday. We've been looking for a church since we've moved to Algoma. Several people told us to give it a try and I'm glad we did. We were welcomed with open arms, and it felt really good. The upbeat music, gourmet coffee,and the message about humility were all wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I'm going to make something to bring to church next Sunday. Some YUMMY Breakfast thing like the cranberry bread pudding I made this week.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... I want to leave you with this one...
Reuben Dip

Place sauerkraut and sour cream in a pan on medium. Add cream cheese and melt. Add cheddar in small chunks and melt. Grind in pepper. Keep warm. Toast10 slices of buttered rye bread with caraway in toaster or regular oven until golden. Cut immediately into points with a pizza cutter. P.S. The Pampered Chef Pizza cutter is the best I've ever used. Honest. Enjoy!

Okay now...I think it is verrrrry important that you post the recipe for your cranberry bread pudding right away!! :) The reuben dip sounds fantastic. And I do hope you will post a photo of your scarecrow. That festival sounds like so much fun. I had no idea that they can replace ankles these days. Best of Luck on yours and prayers for a speedy recovery. Have a super great weekend. ~ Lynn
