 A favorite recipe of Carolyn Howard-Johnson
 
Mormon Funeral Potatoes
 
I admit I have never made these potatoes. But I've eaten a lot of them. In Utah tales are told of people who trail after hearses to join families they never met at funeral get-togethers for people they never knew in order to get a serving of funeral potatoes. The recipes vary slightly. I copied this one and simplified it thinking I might someday make them. That was probably somewhere around 1970.
Ingredients
6 cups diced potatoes
1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed Campbell's cream of chicken soup (I'd use cream of mushroom or cream of celery now that I am a vegetarian.)
1/2 of the soup can full of milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup extra sharp Kraft cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup grated onion (optional). I know I would only chop it fine. None of that grating of onions for me—if I did it all.
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup corn flake crumbs

Directions
 
Cook fresh potatoes (some of us might cheat with thawed frozen potatoes). Slice into a 9x13 Pyrex cake/casserole-type pan. Combine soup, milk, sour cream, cheese, and onion and salt and pepper to taste. For more moisture, add more milk. Mix well. Spread sauce over potatoes.
Combine melted butter with corn flake crumbs. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 30-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.



Frugal and Focused Tweeting for Retailers – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

‘Once upon a time in the early days of Twitter everyone said, “I don’t get Twitter.”  Time magazine reported that the CEO of Twitter agreed that most people don’t get Twitter when they first start using it.  In fact, he said he didn’t get Twitter when he first floated it as a new social network on the Web.’

If you have a computer, television or even a friend who has a computer, you’ve heard of Twitter.  It’s has to be one of the most talked about networks in cyber space.  I can’t even imagine how many people are members of this “say it in 140 characters or less” site.  I know that I’m a member that had no idea at to what it was really all about.  In the beginning I saw Twitter as a site where I could meet someone, post my message of “Hi, how you doing?”  Get an answer back from them “Fine, how are you?”  And that was about it.  After playing around on the site for a while I found its use of notifying people when I posted book reviews to my site A Book and A Dish or new recipes to my site Stir, Laugh, Repeat.  But after reading Frugal and Focused Tweeting I found that I’ve really missed the boat on it’s true purpose… promoting yourself and your product(s). 

Frugal and Focused Tweeting teaches the importance and uses of hashtags, avatars, direct messages, follows and followers.  It explains the importance of taking those 140 characters allowed and making them into eye catchers.  You’ll learn what a moniker, an HTML and a RSS Feed is and how they can help you and your business.  The Author even gives you connections to other sites that will not only help on their own but also work with Tweeter to improve your visibility.  

Twitter is a network that is used by millions with any and/or all of them being potential customers.  It’s a site that you can easily take full advantage of for many your promotional needs.  And I’ve found Frugal and Focused Tweeting for Retailers to be the best source for finding Tweeter’s uses as well as how to find and use then.  And best of all, Frugal and Focused Tweeting for Retailers is written in “English” not “computerish.”
