Leftovers

I had made some bread with a new recipe on Monday, so with the leftovers getting hard, I made bread salad. It includes frying the bread cubes in olive oil, garlic and a little butter, then adding a can of diced tomatoes(I drained the juice), then add to bread cubes and chill! Yum! With that I served leftover risotto, it was great! Blessings!

new coffees

The other day at the grocery store I saw some shiny coffee bags!!! Dunkin Donuts have some holiday coffee flavors out now and going fast! Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla Nut and Mocha Mint! I bought a Vanilla Nut and Mocha Mint for gifts! A little coffee and maybe a mug or two would be a really nice gift for a teacher, co-worker, pastor, friend and grandma who has everything! Check them out!! Blessings!

Appreciation

Pastor talked yesterday about blessing God with thankfulness! WOW!!!! This week he has challenged us to ask for nothing, but to give thanks and bless His name! So, with that in mind, today was a little on the tough side, but I have almost made it through! I'm so thankful for my job and the people I work with! I have worked many jobs(once I had 8 W-2 forms for the year), so I know what I speak of! I'm sure there are jobs out there that would be more fun, but I have so much freedom to do demos, help people, and help my co-workers! Blessings!

class

Last night I took another cooking class. It was demonstrating the greatness of Le Creust pans. They are beautiful and well made, but my, oh my they are costly! The pan I would love to have is $210!! WOW!!!!! But on the way there, I missed an 8 pt buck just by the hair of his chinny chin chin!! So, to continue the thankfulness theme this month, I'm so thankful that I didn't hit that deer and cause damage to Gordon's vehicle, but that I got home safely! Blessings!

thankfulness

I was reading "The Park Wife " blog today and she was talking about thankfulness! I thought "what a great idea"!!! I told her in the comment area of her blog(I have one too which some of you never use), that I would use the same idea here! What are you thankful for"" For your job. children, grandchildren, home, relationship with the Living God, your spouse, your health or that you're not so sick as the neighbor????? I'm so thankful for my family and friends who care for me and about me! For my job and employer! The people I work with and the people I don't(just kidding)!!! For a loving God who is never pushy or judgmental! For Jesus who loves me so unconditionally!! Join the journey and leave a comment! Tell me in person when you see me and I will pass it on! Let's start something big with thankfulness! Blessings!

Friday

Today is pizza day, but today I'm demoing a new cookie that is brought in to our store bakery! It's called a "Smart Cookie". It has pureed veggies and fruits in them! They are very moist and tasty! No one could taste the veggies, except one smartaleck teenager and we all know those kinds of teenagers who are needing a take down! Anyway, come in and have a piece of cookie and cup of coffee! Blessings!

vote

Please go and vote today! I won't preach my politics, though I could since this is my blog, but I reserve the right that you have the right to vote the way you do! Most of you know that I am a Christian and as a Christian, God has given us this right to be a good stewart of what we have in this nation! We just finished going through a Bible study that had you think about your politics and can you back up what you believe politically with Scripture! It was a great study! Makes you think! Blessings!
