I love the look on this woman’s face. It is honest and open, but not open to nonsense. As Tom Petty says in the song referred to here, we all have a little space to fill. Sometimes I fill some of my space with baked pineapple. It goes good with ham.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!Monday: BadKitties

Baked Pineapple
Ingredients
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks
3 tablespoons white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
25 buttery round (Ritz) crackers, crumbled
Directions
Drain pineapple, reserving 3 tablespoons juice.
Combine pineapple, reserved juice, sugar, butter or margarine, flour, and cheese. Mix well. Spoon mixture into a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish; top with cracker crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
I have found that you can put crumbled Ritz crackers on almost any kind of fruit and a lot of veggies and make them all taste yummy. Try corn, with a little butter and flour to thicken it and top with crackers and bake. Or broccoli and grated cheese.
