What You Need

2 cans maraschino cherries with stems attached (yields about 35 mice)

1 pkg milk chocolate chips

1 pkg sliced almonds

1 pkg Hersheys Kisses

Directions

Unwrap Kisses and set aside. Lay out a large area of wax paper.

Melt chocolate chips.

Take cherries by the stem and dip into melted chocolate.

Chocolate Mice

Lay the cherries down and attach the Kiss to it to form a head. (The chocolate will serve as a glue - If its not sticky enough, dip the blunt end of the Kiss into the chocolate to make it adhere better.) While the chocolate is still warm, attach almond slices between the head and body. These are the ears!

Add eyes and a mouth with icing if you wish. Enjoy!

treat for you and the

The Haywood County Historical Society met at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 14, at Union Grove United Methodist Church. There were 50 people present.

Robert Mitchell was introduced by Jack Fletcher and gave a history of the Union Grove Church. The church began as a Presbyterian church; later

the congregation sold the Union Presbyterian Church to the Methodists. In 1949, the old Union church was torn down, and the present church was built. Many of the timbers from the old church were incorporated when building the new church.

The rst wedding in the new church was

Jolene Joyners and the rst funeral was Jack Fletcher Sr. The present church was dedicated in October 1952 with the addition of the basement-kitchen area and the front porch. In 1989, further remodeling was done in the sanctuary.

The present pastor is Rev. Brent Porter eld. Union Grove Methodist

Church is recognized as one of the most active rural churches in the Memphis Conference.

The women of Union Grove Methodist Church prepared a lovely reception for the Historical Society, church members, and guests.

The Historical Society held a brief business session, also.

Brownsville Senior Center December Highlights

My husband and I love to cook. We are constantly looking for new recipes to try, and we enjoy being inventive with our food to make delicious, relatively healthy meals. I have started this column to share some of my favorite recipes with you, and I hope you will share yours with me. Haywood County cooks deserve to be recognized for their skill, so email your best recipes to me at [email protected] or mail them to Brownsville States Graphic c/o Mary Dunbar, P.O. Box 59, Brownsville, TN 38012. I will feature as many as possible here in Thyme to Cook.

Whenever there is a chill in the air, I start craving warm, hearty meals. Something about cloudy, dark days and cold winds makes me want to curl up in front of the replace with a steaming bowl of soup or stew.

One of my favorites is this creamy butternut squash bisque. Its slightly sweet from the winter squash and apple, but it is also savory and full of avor.

I had never cooked butternut squash until

I found my rst squash soup recipe, but its not intimidating at all. Once you peel the squash, all that is left is a matter of cutting it in half to remove the seeds and cubing the esh. Be sure you have a sharp knife on hand, as squash can be tough to cut through.

This recipe takes a little patience, but the result is worth the effect.

If you cant nd butternut squash, acorn squash is a perfect substitute. Just add three acorn squash in place of the one larger butternut. Follow recipe as directed.

Butternut squash soupIngredients:1 2.5-3 pound butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed)1/4 cup butter1 medium white onion (optional chopped)1 large carrot (chopped)1-2 apples (cored and chopped)1 48 ounce box reduced sodium chicken broth1 bottle apple juice, apple cider, or hard cider1/2 cup sour cream (low fat is a great choice here)1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)Gorgonzola cheese, to taste (optional) enough

to sprinkle over bowls2-4 strips of bacon, crumbled (optional)Directions: 1) Peel, seed, and cube butternut squash; chop carrots, onion, and apples.2) Melt butter in large pot (6 quart Dutch oven works well) over medium-high heat. 3) Add cubed squash and vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently until just tender (approximately 10 minutes). 4) Add apples, broth, and cider. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, simmering for approximately 25 minutes or until vegetables and apples are tender. 5) Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.6) Puree in blender, returning soup to pot when nished. If you have an emersion blender, now is the perfect time to use it, but if you only have a counter top blender or food processor, you may have to puree in batches.7) Add sour cream and cheddar to soup and heat through. 8) Top with gorgonzola, bacon, and a dollop of

sour cream if desired.

I prefer grating my own cheddar, rather than buying prepackaged shredded cheese. It tastes fresher, lasts longer, and melts easier. If youre not a fan of gorgonzola, a avorful blue cheese, you can use cheddar for a topper, but I suggest you at least try gorgonzola because it seems like the perfect slightly salty contrast to this soup.

Although I peel the squash, I dont usually bother peeling the apples for this recipe. They will be pureed, and I like to leave the skin on for added vitamins and nutrient value.
