Cooking Thursday

We have fairly frequent potlucks at our church. Several months ago, following the potluck, there were a bunch of people waiting to see who had brought a particular dish because it was so good.  This included a few guys which is unusual.  We figured out who brought it, and got the recipe!  I made it and it may be the easiest recipe I've made - perfect for a potluck, and as I told you, it's very good!

Raspberry Fluff

16 ounces thawed Cool Whip
32 ounces Vanilla Yogurt
1 large package (6 ounce) Vanilla Pudding (dry mix)
1 bag frozen raspberries (or other fruit of your choice)

Stir together the Cool Whip and Yogurt, then stir in the pudding mix.
Add frozen raspberries and stir.
Refrigerate overnight or for several hours before serving.

Wordless Wednesday

 

A little more fun in Dearborn

We visited Henry Ford's home in Dearborn. Unfortunately, it's being renovated so you can't go inside. But, visitors are free to walk the yard and gardens, which even at this time of year are beautiful. 

Henry and Clara Ford built this home and moved into it in 1915.

This is the front and side of the home with patio you can't see in this photo.

We walked to the side yard where we found this doorway dug into the side of a hill. It turned out to be a boat house. Another opening was dug on the other side which opens to the river.

Look what was above the door...   It was a wood chuck!

There were also several geese in the area.

Looking up at the house from the boat house.

The back of the house and back yard.

The Rogue River runs behind the house

A walled garden on the other side of the house.  There were all kinds of roses growing here, so it will soon be a beautiful spot!

A statue of Henry and Clara Ford.

We really enjoyed wandering around the home and yard and hope to return someday to tour the interior.
