Here's a picture of my pretty girl:
And a square just for a "secret project" - does this fit the bill? I'm trying to figure out how best to interpret "fugly" lol! It has texture to it, at any rate!
I have been a lazy recipe poster, so here are a couple to make up for it. Nothing I'm making today (I have some cubed beef and a bottled marinade in the crockpot and a loaf of bread in the breakmaker for the first time) but here are a couple of yummy recipes we've had recently.
This one sounds odd but it is quite good. The sweet and salty compliment each other quite well - and if you dislike the acidity typically in pineapple, this gives you the sweet and the flavor but the acidity is virtually non-existant. A half recipe fits nicely in an 8x8 square pan, and a whole recipe fits in a 9x13 pan. I originally got this recipe from dh's cousin, so I can't claim it as mine, but I highly recommend it. It's great for potlucks, especially served with something like ham.
PINEAPPLE CASSEROLE
Ingredients:
2 large cans chunk pineapple (I like crushed) with juice
1 c. sugar
5 Tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese (don't use pre-packaged, it won't melt)
1 1/2 c. Ritz crackers
1 stick butter, melted
Directions:
Place 2 large cans chunk pineapple with juice in dish. Mix sugar and flour; sprinkle over pineapple. Top with grated cheese. Mix Ritz crackers and butter. Spread on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

And another new one - this one tastes exactly like homemade, from scratch, macaroni and cheese - just with potatoes. Simple, quick and very, very good. Thanks to Bonnie for this one!
Cheesy Hash Browns
2 pkgs frozen has brown squares (I used a large package of regular hash brown cubes, thawed)
1/2 cup butter (I use 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1-2 tsp onion powder instead)
1 can cream of chicken soup (98% fat free works)
3/4 pt. sour cream (light is fine)
10 oz grated cheddar cheese (I used Cracker barrel 2% extra sharp cheddar)
breadcrumbs
Mix all ingredients together. Top with breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 for one hour.

Sorry about Cinder, hopefully you will find her.
Yes, that's a fugly square-you "mastered it"
Aww, come home Cinder pretty kitty.
Uhm, yes, that square is ultimate fugly IMHO, haha
That ritz cracker recipe sounds neat. My mom used to make a mock apple pie with ritz crackers instead of apples. Ever hear of that one? It really did taste like apple pie too.
Awww - I hope that you find your kitty soon! I know how hard it is to have a pet wander away and not know what has happened to them.
Love the recipe for the Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole - I have a very similar recipe that my mum has used for years that uses Cream of Mushroom soup as the base and cream cheese instead of sour cream - its been a hit every year at Christmas Eve breakfast after Mass.
