\"Seven<\/p>\n

It’s Thursday again, and Summer is slowly leaving the scene. It may still be warm where you are. and where I live, it may be early October but the weather is still summerlike. The Old Farmers Almanac indicates that in my general area, winter will be wet and sloppy, not bitterly cold and deep in snow. Fine by me. I’ll still be making pancakes on the weekend when the chilly, wet weather hits us.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I’m rerunning the classic Seven Layer Salad just in case you’re hungry for a reminder that Summer is only one season out of four.<\/p>\n

Now, if you put that on the plate with a good slice of real ham and some fresh cornbread (w\/butter), what more do you need?\u00a0 It’s just your chance to have one last fling before the snow hits us.<\/p>\n
