Good evening - today was a good day! We went to the Shed in Edom this morning for breakfast and I had a message from the bank's chaplain. I called her back (although she had called at 4 something this morning) and it seems a member of their church, a nurse, had called her because a man at the hospital was dying and he and his family were upset because he is Church of Christ and had never been baptised - and he was afraid to die because of that. They were trying to find a Church of Christ minister to do this for him. They finally found a nurse at the hospital that was from Kilgore and was CoC and he talked to them. I felt terrible that I didn't get the message sooner! I called the nurse that was trying to help them and she said she thought the matter had been settled because the Doctor had said he could not be moved and if he was he would most likely die either on the way or in the water. So sad -- but it reminded me so much of the Wednesday night lesson from Luke about "the last shall be first and the first shall be last!" I am certainly not judging because only God has the authority to do that. (See Luke 13:30)
Tonight I am going to give you the recipe for Strawberry Cobbler that is to die for! It was given to me years ago by Donna Mullins and I made it at church the last Wednesday night I cooked - of course I did it five times over!!
MRS GREEN'S FRESH STRAWBERRY COBBLER
1 Qt whole fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons flour
1 Tablespoon butter
CRUST:
1/2 Cup butter
2 Tablespooons sugar
1 Cup flour
4 Tablespoons milk
Wash and hull strawberries. Combine sugar, salt and flour. Sprinkle over berries. Place them in a (the recipe calls for a 8" baking dish -- but I always use a 9X13 and it works perfect-- you would just have a much thicker cobbler with the 8" pan) pan and dot with butter. Top with crust, brush with some milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes.
CRUST
When making crust: Mix flour and sugar; use pastry blender to work in butter then add milk. Knead lightly on floured board four to five times. Roll to appropriate size and top cobbler.
This is really easy and so delicious you should make one while the strawberries are good. I bought the large container at Sam's today for only 2.98 and I've made it with just that many! ENJOY!!!
Tomorrow after church I pack for Galveston. Yea!1 I know - it is the Fourth but I tried to get Travis to help me make some plans and he didn't so I guess we will hang out our flag and just pretend it is not the Day of Independence -- the one holiday that should be celebrated most!
I am going to take my computer with me and if I can make it work - I will blog from there!
Have a great time tomorrow - think of me - and enjoy a safe holiday. May God always bless and keep you!
