Stir-up Sunday
23 November

Today, the fifth Sunday before Christmas [1], has in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer the following collect:

"Stir up we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people..."

Consequently, it has become the day on which people "stir up" their Christmas puddings and Christmas cakes. It allows just enough time for the cakes and puddings to age and be ready for the big day.

I was a little disappointed .. thinking they meant stirrups

Cashew Day
23 November

Cashews are some of the oddest nuts. They grow hanging off the bottom of fruits that look like apples, and are toxic to handle unless the shells on the nuts are treated properly. But you can probably rest assured that the ones you buy in the vacu-sealed tins are safe to eat!

Cashew Chicken Casserole

Number of servings: 4 - 6
Estimated Prep Time: 25 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 45 minutes


This is a great way to fancy up the last bit of leftover chicken or turkey. It also makes a perfect casserole for potluck suppers.

Serve with a green salad and hot crusty bread.

This recipe can be made the day before. Just be sure to keep in the fridge - and give a few extra minutes for cooking if you are starting this casserole cold from the fridge. (Some people call this "Funeral Chicken" because it often gets trotted out for funerals).

Ingredients

1 cup Chicken (cooked, chopped)
1/2 cup Celery (chopped)
1/2 bunch Green Onions (chopped)
1 can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
1/4 cup Milk
1 can Fried Chow Mein Noodles
1/2 cup Cashew Nuts
