Had the day off from the bank - but would have surely accomplished more there than here! It seems the day was long - but very unfruitful!! I did finally get some exchanges made and some of that wonderful Carmel Corn made for Michelle to take to work tomorrow -- BUT guess I could spend the rest of the week and not get everything done I wanted done today!! Wait - I did make my sister some enchiladas and gave her Chili to put over them! Sure hope they were as good as they smelled!! My Iphone is going off like crazy and I just posted on FB -- "could that guy possible be in love with three different women?" I forgot to mention I am talking about that cute little "creep"--- The Bachelor!!" I feel so bad - I did not get the "PILOT LIGHT" ready for tomorrow! Tons of excuses - but I've always overcome all of them until today. I went to work and there was some kind of security thing where I could get internet and everything else but the one drive to WORD - where I had all of the information stored. So ladies - if any of you are reading -- you will get your copy of the Pilot Light in the mail! I am so sorry - I feel like a complete failure!!
I have been thinking about the Words that were common place and used daily years ago and are now obsolete! ok - just a few "obsolete" words and phrases! Obsolete or old fashioned or "country" -- whatever - how many do you remember??
1) Glove Box - Under the dash - the place to store the Instruction book and other things to lock up - that is still where I put my insurance card!
2) Trunk - the back of the car where you could put luggage - and groceries!
3) Washing Powder - (used this the other day and was told "You must have grown up in the country!" - the Laundry detergent that goes in the "washing machine!"
4) Ice Box - The "refrigerator!"
5) Davenport - "the sofa"
6) Arithmetic - "Math" - "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, Talk to the tune of the hickory stick!" BET KIDS DON'T HEAR THAT, DO THEY??
7) Trousers - men's pants
8) Slacks - ditto - men's pants
9) Rain bonnet - these are so obsolete - I don't know what to call it - an unberella - I suppose!!
10) Tarnation - a "curse" word
11) Dagnastic - an even worse "curse" word
12) Root cellar - a place to store vegetables
13) Dish rag -- that is what we used to wash dishes with and dry dishes with -- whoever heard of a "dish cloth?"
I know there are tons more - but that gives you the idea of how things change. The ONE that never changes is God and His Word - what He said years and years ago - still stands! Man may change -0ur vocabulary may change - but God never changes and his expectations of us and his commands to us - stand firm! We can read the Bible and know what pleases Him and how we are to live. So Read -- Read -- Read!!!
It was amazing the feedback I had regarding the meal we did last Wednesday night and one of the most often mentioned things was the salad - so tonight I am going to pre-empt the Chocolate Pie and give you the salad recipe -- Just hold on for tomorrow and the best Chocolate Pie ever!!
Mitzi's Green Salad (named for a dear, dear friend who shared this with me!)
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh leaf lettuce
Red Onion
1/4 Cup butter
1 Pkg. Ramen Noodles - uncooked and crunched (discard the seasoning pkg)
Feta Cheese
1 Cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
Melt the butter, and add the walnuts and Ramen noodles. Slowly brown over low heat. Let drain on paper towels.
DRESSING:
Combine the following:
1 cup Canola Oil
1 cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
2 Tablespoobs Light Soy Sauce
Large ground pepper to taste
Blend all together and refrigerate -- you won't need it all - but don't worry - it keeps a long time!
Just before serving mix nut and noodle mixture with lettuce and onion. Mix and toss well. Add approximately 1 Cup dressing. Sprinkle with feta cheese!!
Enjoy!!
Did I tell you Travis left town for 3 nights (with his job) so I have dog duty, food duty, garbage and recycle duty - plus getting Michelle and I to -work on time and trying to get her home too! I know he does it every day - well - the dog, garbage and recycle) but I don't remember him ever putting make-up on himself or Michelle or doing her hair -- but I trust those who plan these trips will someday be left to do all that I must do alone for the next few days! I will be up at about 4 a.m. to take the dogs out and - oh my goodness - it is 10:30 and they must go out for the evening! Got to go!! Have a blessed evening and please pray for me -- I need a good spirit - and strength too!
