Here in the potluck-casserole-country that is Minnesota, you can have long, serious Tater Tot
Hot dish discussions. Do green beans actually add to the flavor, yes or no? To cheese, or not to cheese? Cream of mushroom or celery? And should that cream soup be mixed with the ground beef, or layered? Should the tater tots be arranged in nice orderly, hay bale like rows, or artistically jumbled? Should the whole thing be spread thin in a cake pan to have more of the crispy edges, or thicker, in a casserole pan?

Thank You
To all of you who have been so supportive and sent prayers and good wishes, thank you. Steve's Dad, Mike, passed away Friday, at his home, with his family by his side. The funeral was this week. We've gotten to spend a lot of time with our daughters, Steve's sisters and families. Hot dish, brownies and laughter have played an important role in our grieving and healing process.

We're so sorry for your loss.
We're thinking of you.
We are so sad to hear of your loss. We really enjoyed meeting Steve's dad at the retirement party. We hope you are doing OK -- we're glad you can be together to be supportive of each other. As you may have read in emails, our dog, Oksana, passed away 11FEB10 at age 20. -Jeff and Elise
