Daily Random Shot 039 11, A Warmer View

This is the place I'm headed to for Wed. I'll shoot one from there Thur with the current weather status. - I was just thinking that I was missing spring and fall. And why is it that we seem to only get a little of those two seasons and almost 6 months of summer and 6 months out of winter? 

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep the Randomized site up, or just move to the site LakewoodLoon.com that I picked up.  I guess the "daily" posts could be:

Loon Views?
Loon with a View?
Loony Views?
Looner Shot?

Daily Random Shot 038-11, Hash Brown Casserole - Vegetarian Version.

This recipe ought to meet or beat your expectations of what Cracker Barrel serves.  :)  There are other variations of this on line, that call for two pounds of Hash Browns, and they call for Cream of Chicken Soup. - I was raised a few years of my life as a Vegetarian, and have no problems with a meal that it meatless. But in my humble opinion, a nice ham steak with some biscuits and veggies would round this meal out nicely.

1 lbs Frozen Hash Browns
1/4 cup Butter, melted  maybe  a little less.
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 pint French Onion Dip.
1 Medium Onion, peeled and chopped
2 cups Grated Cheese, Colby Jack Mix Mostly for mixing into the dish. I like to top it with some Cheddar.  The Grated 8 oz packages of cheese are two cups, FWIW.
A few good Dash's of Salt and Pepper

1.Preheat oven to 350°F and use your favorite treatment to grease an 11 x 14 baking dish with something to make it easier to get crusty stuff off of the pan. I like Butter, myself.

2. I like to melt the butter in the dish on the stove, that covers the greasing of the pan job.  Then add the chopped onion,  Can of Soup, and French Onion Dip. Then mix in the Hash Browns, and cheese. Save some of the cheese to top the dish the last 10 or 15 mins prior to being done. OR, use some extra Cheddar Cheese. I  think that the more cheese there is the better.


3. Mix the above ingredients together, place in prepared pan and bake
for 45 minutes or until brown on top.

ENJOY!!!

I love Google Maps, and it's little extras.

I don't know about you. But I remember MapQuest, and Yahoo Maps, and how badly they sucked.  They really did. Then came Google Maps. Simple and to the point. And they just keep getting better.  If you're looking for something in your area, or planning a trip, Google Maps is the way to go.  They behave a little different, then some of the other online mapping sites, but being able to move the route around, and find reviews for places you're likely to stop at is most helpful.
You can also pick Walking, Bus, or Car as a mode for getting somewhere, and the travel time to expect.

Daily Random Shot 036-11, Two Dads Diner makes it Yummy!

One of my favorite places to go grab a quick bite to eat with my wife is Two Dads Diner. - The food is good, the price is right, and the help is friendly.  I've never had an issue with their food or service.  But then, I might be having to much fun to notice any issues. - That should say something, eh?  They've got a breakfast special from 7-9 am where you can grab a meal for $2.99. Sorta makes the Fast Food places pale when you get right down to it.
