Christmas in October

A random mid October post for two reasons.  

1) I was just at Freddie's tonight and they have poinsettias on display, for sale.  

What?!  I don't get it.  

Have I had my head in the clouds in previous Octobers i.e. is this normal?  

Unusual, I say. Maybe wrong.

2) I went on an outing a few weeks ago with some friends.  A little cabin in the woods type weekend.  Thankfully, I was in charge of breakfast. (I'm not much for making a good dinner these days.  An area that needs and will be getting attn soon!)  So, best breakfast casserole I know of is Mom's Christmas morning casserole.  Every year we have it.  Every year I eat seconds (and pick at thirds when no on sees me).  Delicious and easy!  Who could ask for more?!  I'm sharing it here so I have a record of it somewhere.

Here it is:

1 doz. eggs

1/2 c. milk

1 lb. diced bacon, uncooked

1 lb. diced cheese, (cheddar or mont. jack)

6 green onions, chopped including green tops

1 1/2 c. flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

 

Beat eggs and mild well in large mixer bowl.

Stir in cheese, bacon and onions.

Add dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour into lightly greased 9x13 pan.

Bake @ 350 about 1 hr.  Check in 45 min. Insert knife in center, if comes out clean it's done.

Cut into small squares

Serve warm.
