I've found a home for my food frenzy - the homeless! I called the Food & Care Coalition the other day, and they actually take prepared food donations. So when I don't have any other takers, I can take it there. We actually tried to go donate today, but they were closed. I thought everyone eats every day - even holidays. Guess not. Oh well, it will keep till tomorrow. Anyway, the casserole I decided to make was called "More Casserole." I saved a little for us tonight, and know how it got the name - you wish you could have more! It was delicious. Doug liked it, too.MORE CASSEROLE

1 cup chopped onions
1 8-oz. pkg. egg noodles, cooked

I also made Applesauce Cake (2). This recipe was found written in the back of an old cookbook. It's called the Household Searchlight Recipe Book. I remember seeing this book in Mom's cupboard in my earliest memories. The recipe didn't call for eggs, and at the end of the writing, Mom wrote, "What no eggs?" Well, it turned out to be right. I cut a sliver off the side before frosting it - yum!APPLESAUCE CAKE (2)
1/2 cup butter

2¼ cups flour
1/2 tsp. cloves

Salt

What, no eggs?
