Kathryn's Wednesday Wonder this week is timely: Spring Cleaning. I have needed a push in this area and I have MUCH to accomplish, so expect a bunch of postings on this.

I just finished the first "junk" drawer. Some things that were excavated: rosin for my violin, a pair of my grandmother's antique glasses, numerous used batteries, some fresh batteries, a recipe, a deck of "Scruples" cards, and a little brown envelope that has "Your Key to Happiness" printed on it.

The recipe is for Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie:

1 package (10 oz) BIRDS EYE strawberries Halved in Syrup, thawed
2 packages (8 ounces each) PHILADELPHIA BRAND Cream Cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups COOL WHIP non-Dairy Whipped Topping, thawed
1 prepared chocolate flavor crumb crust (6 ounces)

*Drain strawberries: reserving 14/ cup liquid.
*Beat cream cheese, reserved liquid, thawed strawberries, sugar adn vanilla until smooth.
*Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust.
*Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Garnish with strawberry halves and kiwi slices.

Mmmmm. I work with a lady whose sister develops recipes for Kraft. Wow. What a job!

Want to try a Scruples question? Your 18-year-old finally introduces you to the person he/she has been dating for several months. The person is 36 years old. Do you express opposition?

Okay, onto the next drawer.

Edit: 11:55 a.m. The next drawer yielded words, words, words. Anyone need some?
