My mom used to make this thing called Texas hash (which has about as much to do with Texas as her Chinese pot pie had to do with China or pot pie). The hash is just rice, tomato sauce, onions, peppers, and browned ground beef. (Maybe a can of mushrooms.) You know, I found both these things online. Today, they were making me feel like my mother was a freak! "Chinese pot pie!" they cringed. What do they know? Someone actually admitted they'd never had Chinese food until they got married! (Someone who lived just outside Philly, not the middle of nowhere.) Now I'm thinking that my mother's cooking was perhaps unsophisticated but it certainly wasn't freakish. You could tell the nemesis was dying to interject but didn't. Hm. Perhaps interesting in its own right.
*Only as much as I've already shown on Facebook.

Your Mom's food kept you alive and you seem to have grown up nicely and thrived. I don't see any problem.
Your snowman is looking good. That's a lot of white stitches, idiotic or otherwise, so I commend you on perseverance!
Your snowman is coming along nicely!! And - I am up for trying some Chinese pot pie!!! of to find the recipe......
Pretty July stitching. I never tried broccoli or asparagus until I left home! Yes, I do love them both. We did have Cheeseburger Pie...
What is the recipe for Chinese Pot Pie, it sounds good to me.
Great progress on both pieces Nikki. The Texas Hash sounds good.

Apart from the cream corn (which I do not have the faintest idea about) your Chinese pot pie sounds like the British shepherds pie. Assuming ground beef is minced beef? Don't ask me about cooking, I like to heat things up!
I was considered very exotic at school because I'd lived in the Far East and we had Chinese takeaway as a special treat sometimes. I actually had a Chinese style haircut and due to the very black colour some people thought I was Chinese! My town is very, um, provincial!
All the Shepherds Bush Snowmen are adoeable.
