Well, not your typical happy hour, but Sarah and I had fun making some "Cheesy Pretzels" that were a favorite recipe of mine to make as a kid. Our recipe today came straight from my 1980 edition of Betty Crocker's Cookbook for Boys & Girls. It also has recipes for eggs baked in bologna cups and a salad made with pears, prunes, mandarin oranges and a cherry that looks like a dog in profile. A most excellent cookbook, if you ask me. Funny thing though, I can remember pouring over it and thinking about making all of the other wonderful offerings (like "Crater Ham Loaf"), but all I can ever remember making is the pretzels.
They came out just like I remember them....doughy, cheesy, salty and yummy....and way better than a "crater ham loaf"!!
And just to be sure that this post isn't lacking in fabric, I've bought more. Week two of Happy Hour at Sew-Bee-It resulted in eleven more yards of fabric goodness. Since then I've also had a yard sale and gotten a check from a consignment sale, so you can be sure to find me back at the final night of happy hour over at Sew-Bee-It tomorrow night. After that, I believe it will be time to finish the projects already on the table and start cutting into all my new goodies. I can't wait!!

Send me some of that. I'll pass on the crater ham loaf. Sounds questionable even for a meateater.
I hope happy hour was great. I miss you!!
