My goodness - it has been over a week since I wrote my blog! Why? That is what my beloved husband asked! Well - a few nights we got home to late -- some nights, like last night - I didn't get the kitchen cleaned up until almost 10; and some nights - I just didn't feel like it! I am sorry -- because I has lots to say and some great recipes to share!
My goodness - life passes by so fast. I have attended two funerals since I last posted my cooking blog. One was for a man that went so fast and was younger than Travis -- he and his wife exchanged "I love you!" and the next thing she heard from him was a friend telling her, "You have to go with me, R.... had a heart attack and is dead." Those words impacted me like a large rock placed on my heart. Five or six years ago Travis had been told he needed heart surgery - perhaps a balloon procedure - or maybe bypass surgery - not knowing how many. I prayed! He asked for a few days to wrap up details. On Saturday, he didn't come home and I was so scared. I sent someone to see about him and he was trying to finish up a job that had gone too long - digging a ditch, and only God could have saved him. Even the Doctor told us he didn't know how he had lived. The otherfuneral was for a woman that I grew up knowing as almost a saint - doing all the things Jesus did - serving others. She actually gave me my wedding shower. Such a wonderful friend to my Mom over 65 years. Who else can say they have had a friend that long? She fell and never really gained concienceness. I took my Mom and Sister to the funeral and -- really it was a celebration of her life and service to others, as well it should have been. I just pray that when my days on this earth end, I can be remembered for helping someone!
Actually I have attended some fun things too - the ETCA Auction among the first!! I volunteered to help by supplying some items for the silent auction. I said I would make a Red Velvet Cake -- from the original recipe from 1953 - when there was no such thing as Cream Cheese. I made the cake - three nine inch layers- but very thin- each layer that is! And the icing -- something else to make --but some wonderful and you could move it any place you want. I made the icing - and attempted to ice the cooled cake. I spread it over the layers, making sure all of cake was covered, and then it was time for the top layer. NOT ENOUGH ICING!! I went to WalMart, bought more yeast ( almost $2.00 less than Brookshires) and came back and made another recipe of icing! The cake was beautiful!!!
I am going to give you the easy, easy recipe tomorrow (I promise) for homemade bread -- as soon, that is, as I have conquered the technique!! I will also give you the recipe for the Red Velvet Cake - again something you have to do one step at at a time!!
Did you know that God provided His children - all of us - th guide to health - only we are just not smart enough to comprehind!!! Look at this:
EAT LOTS OF SWEET POTATOES
this is really interesting... old but a good reminder...
It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods. Modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
Well, when I copied this -- with each food mentioned - there was a pictute for each fruit announced, and if you wanted you to see it (it is awesome) -- just let me know!!! I can forward to you (just need your email) and I just pray you have a great evening and lots to opportunities to do something of -- don't you agree?? Have a great evening - and be thinking what you can do to honor someone you love - dead or just old and need your attention!!!
May God please bless each of you!!!
