My mother used to make them every Thanksgiving only she would add cheese to the top. I will never forget the first Thanksgiving my DH had at my parents house.....he doesn't like onions and didn't realize what the dish was when passed to him--all he saw was the cheese.....I might just have to add this dish to the menu--Dad will like them.LizA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13948614733590760591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83333688949319433092013-11-24T20:22:17.353-05:002013-11-24T20:22:17.353-05:00What little I can see of your cabin - it looks gor...What little I can see of your cabin - it looks gorgeous - especially the quilts in the last picture :) This is exactly the type of get away that I would love to have in the future - thanks for the sneak peek!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589022543354836503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74077936683037172222013-11-24T09:43:47.468-05:002013-11-24T09:43:47.468-05:00Gotta love it when a plan comes together!

They look so yummy, but I think I'll be at the beach with my daughter and two granddaughters, so no creamed onions for another year! I also love them with tiny baby peas added!!

Starch is the way to go and stretch that sucker to get it flat, then pin it down to the carpet, just as she describes. Old timey ladies used to get the doilies really stiff with sugar water. That sounds like an invitation to every insect, beetle, and moth within 50 miles to come and have dinner. I would never use sugared water, but I must admit, the results are very impressive as far as stiffness!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89546291800908497842013-11-23T20:15:49.022-05:002013-11-23T20:15:49.022-05:00When it is clean, you soak it in liquid starch (yo...When it is clean, you soak it in liquid starch (you can use diluted white fabric glue if you live in a damp temperature region), press it in a towel to take out the excess liquid and stretch it while it is still damp on a carpet (or stretch board) covered with a cotton sheet and pin (use pins that do not rust) it to the right shape. You can use a hair blow dryer to speed the drying. We usually don't press it with an iron, because the thread will look flat and loose its fluffyness.Carole Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08852631996047314371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30624405670653485412013-11-23T19:45:59.761-05:002013-11-23T19:45:59.761-05:00Well you took the sunshine with you from Ft.

We have had our house for about 15 years now and it is still relaxing to go to - now there is more room in the car since we won't be taking a dog in a crate (we had to put our baby down last week - 14+ years old). At one time, there were two crates and the back end of the Subbie was pretty much full ...<br /><br />I will never forget the day we had to unload the back end to get to the spare tire - we looked like the Hillbillies sitting there by the road ... then the regular tire would not fit back into the spare tire spot and one of the kids had to hold it in their lap for about 12 miles ... memories!Sue Monseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938599600710679651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71208675083799115582013-11-23T18:59:08.580-05:002013-11-23T18:59:08.580-05:00Awesome finds on the Doilies.
