a clean new bib - it's brown!

I could have a whole basket of these in the kitchen...


This bib has turned out to be our favorite. It's brown, so stains don't show. It's made from a towel, so it's soft and absorbent. It ties in the back so it's not too easy to get off. It doubles as a wipe after the meal.


It was my friend's idea. One day Elara came over to sew, and while the little guys were taking a bath, we took turns on this project. A towel went into the wash. A bib was measured for size and length of the ties. Then Elara traced around to make a nice shape on a piece of kraft paper, and cut a bunch of them out of a towel. I used my serger to finish the edges and pulled in the threads with a large needle.

There was enough towel left to get 5-6 little square wipes, maybe 6-8", all different sizes.

scalloped corn recipe

Mostly, this is for everyone who has eaten this corn casserole and loved it. It shows up every year at Thanksgiving, and it's also good with chili. My sister even made it for our wedding celebration!
Please adapt as you would like, but if you need more than one pan, make two!

Scalloped Corn
1/2 stick butter - melt in glass 8x8 pan
Add:
1 small package Jiffy cornbread mix
1 egg
1 can corn - drain about half of the liquid
1 can cream corn
8 oz sour cream
Mix and bake 45-60 min at 325 degrees until golden brown.
It might even take longer than that...
Works well if you make it ahead, keep in fridge, and put in oven as it's preheating to warm it up.
