  1. I think Flat Christy would love coming to Tampa,FL She can lay by the pool, and attend my daughters 1st birthday (01/23/11) and I will show her how to make cuban sandwiches and spanish bean soup!

  2. My family and I would love love love for Flat Christy to come for a visit to Richmond, VA! She would come peruse the famer’s markets with us and enjoy taking in the sites of Richmond!. I have a 17 year old son, and a great husband that I have been married to for 11 years! I know they would enjoy getting to know and sit down to a great dinner with Flat Christy! I hope Flat Christy will come join us!

  3. My nephew is leaving to go back to Canada on Tuesday for college and he teaches there. The family is getting together tomorrow after church to have a going away party. We’re all fixing our dinners and combining them so we can fill him up before he leaves. This meatloaf is headed with me to grandma’s!!! Poor boy won’t get any home cooking again until Christmas. Also making 2 chocolate cream pies, too.

    I’m just craving kraut and wieners but nobody in my house eats em but me and I don’t wanna have to eat the whole pan full….Mmmm, not a bad idea eating it all!!! I’ll just wait and let mama cook it one night for supper and go to her house. Gosh, Christy……I’m so happy you’re part of our “family” now. My cooking sure has improved.

  4. I am a meat loaf fanatic, can not wait to make this, and was just wanting to have ml for supper but too hot, then, minute’s later found this. love this site. Thank You

  5. Awesome! I loved reading the Brownwood Texas adventures of Flat Christy and will try the the recipe too!

  6. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. One for being the wonderful person you are and not only sharing these recipes with us, taking the time to do picture by picture. But for giving me another idea (via flat Christy) of what to send my grand-daughters ages 5 (as of 7/12)and 6.) They live in Texas it’s been two years since I’ve seen them, (fight between brothers, mom is some how in the middle, please say a little prayer for me.) Anyways, since I am not allowed to talk to them, I send them boxes with things to make or do, this week I sent everything they need (unless meltable) for them to make frozen pudding pops. Last month they had thier dance recital and I made them candy bouquets. I would post a picture but don’t know how too. Anyways, thank you so much for yet another goodie box.

  7. We would love to host FC at our house in Brazoria, Texas (about a hour south of Houston). We live in a small rural area but there would be lots for FC to do. Our two girls (ages 8 and 3) would make her feel right at home. We live on what we tease is a “small ranchette” of 20 acres and we have 6 cows and a number of other animals. When we moved here my sister started calling it “Southfork” after the show Dallas (because if you ever really saw the set of Dallas…it wasn’t as large as the show made it feel). So I thought it was funny when you gave your house a name too. 🙂
    Besides just the daily chores around the house, we could find plenty to do in town. Brazoria is full of history and is known as the Birthplace of Texas. My oldest loves museums so we would probably take FC to a couple of our local ones and let her soak up some good ol’ Texas history (everybody could use of that). Our town has the “No Name” Festival every June so if we timed it just right we could take her to the carnival, parade, bake sale… maybe even get her face painted.
    So consider sending her back to Texas… this time for the country experience. Oh, and we would probably cook my momma’s (who is from Alabama) beefy-noodle casserole. It was my favorite as a kid and now my kids love it. I bet FC would too.
    So send her on down for a visit.
