Spinach Pie Recipe – No Crust
This recipe is from a woman named Becky in 1980. It has been a family favorite since then. Somewhere I have the original recipe card.
Spinach Pie
Butter a 9″ glass pie plate. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a large bowl mix together:
2 10 oz packages Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed, drained and squeeze out as much water as possible
4 Eggs
1 16 ounce container Cottage Cheese, (I like the small curd)
2 Cups of shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese ( I have added a bit of shredded Gruyere or fresh Parmesan on occasion)
Salt and Pepper to taste. The cheese is salty to me so I don’t add much salt.
Pour into the buttered pie plate. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife in center comes out clean.
Let rest a bit before slicing so the wedge holds shape nicely.
Blurry Phone Photos Rectified
Who knew that the LifeProof waterproof iPhone case would create the blurriest phone photos due to the plastic cover over the camera lenses?
Everyone but me!
That’s right. It’s a thing. All over the Internet, reviews tell of this problem . The plastic cover on the phone back over the lenses gets all scratched and cannot be clear. Even if you are wiping with a microcloth meant for the task
There was one solution to the problem.
Remove it! The phone case is no longer leakproof, waterproof but I take phone photos in focus.
Here’s what I’m talking about
Outgrown Sleeper Transformed
Here’s a January 2019 photo. Grandson Charlie visiting at my house. He’s wearing a fleece footed sleeper that was a cozy favorite. Doesn’t take long for kids to outgrow their clothes, though.
In December 2020 my daughter sent the kitty footed sleeper to me with a request- could I make something special from it?
So I made doll pajamas, with the sleeve cuffs being the pants ankle cuffs now.
After I sewed the pjs, there was a lot of the sleeper leftover but I couldn’t see anything in my mind to make from it. The scraps hung around for 3 weeks. Then I got an idea.
Yesterday I created Zippy the snake with the remainder. Stuffed a couple of knee socks with fiberfill and put them into the column I created to look like a snake. Now the snake can lose his skin with zero mess.
On to the post office tomorrow to get these mailed to Charlie. I’m hoping he likes the transformation.
Throwback Thursday
My father attended the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. I remember he took a train to DC and it was really really cold. The rest of the memorabilia is at my son’s house.
This is one of the buttons he brought home as a souvenir.

Cats Enjoy the Show -Guest Blog
A couple of cats from Lancaster PA, Jake and Sadie, are enjoying the show on the TV.
Of course the show is Lion King.
My friend’s sister-in-law is the photographer of her attentive cats! I have permission from her to share her photo but she’s happy to do so anonymously. Thank you.
I thought it was a great pic and needed to be shared.
I’ve seen and posted dogs watching television but never a cat. Here’s a recent post of Penny the Goldendoodle in a gallery of TV watching photos.

Popcorn. Yes or No?
I had no idea that popcorn has been around as long as the following entry says–
“Archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of years. In Mexico, for example, remnants of popcorn have been found that date circa 3600 BC. Fossil evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4700 BC.” Wikipedia
