There are few things better at boosting my new "stay at mom" self-esteem than over hearing a compliment that was completely unprovoked and unexpected. I toted myself, my two monkeys and our covered side dish (still hot of course!) to the Vacation Bible School celebratory luau tonight at our new church. It's a large church and so while we don't stick out as "new in town", we also don't really have any people who know our names yet either. Attending a pot luck with small children alone is a bit dangerous in and of itself... juggling 3 plates with 2 squirmy bodies who listen, when they want to, is just a recipe for disaster. But, we made it through our wait in line, got our food and it was when I returned for seconds of what my son dubbed the "corn sandwich" that I heard someone say "Oh, and that corn casserole is really yummy too". Music to my little ears.
I'll take a picture the next time I make it... it was all gone after dinner was served. But it turns out slightly runnier than a corn bread.
