What's For Dinner?

First of all....I don't want to take any attention away from Connie's prayer request for her Mother...first and foremost -Let's all continue to pray for her Mom and believe for that good report!

**********************

With that said, today's post will just be a teaser.

These are all the ingredients that will go into tonight's dinner, plus the Mozzarella cheese which I forgot to put out!

Can you guess what it's going to be? What's your guess?

As you can see, Ms. Apron is near by. She is guarding the ingredients...making sure I prepare more then "just" a salad tonight!

Here's a hint...the jar of Great Northern Beans is going in a side dish. The main course is every thing else you see - plus the cheese!

I have to put it all together now... Ms. Apron is getting testy again! Where did all this impatience come from? She acts like she's been living with me all this time!

PLEASE PRAY FOR HELGA

I have a prayer request please. Pop (my stepdad) called last night to tell me he had to take my mother to the hospital. She was admitted and they are going to run tests on her today. It isn't related to her heart or pacemaker but rather, intense lower abdominal pain. To put it delicately, they "flushed" her out yesterday which was incredibly painful for her and she believes that they will do a colonoscopy today. In spite of the unknown here, I feel very peaceful in all of this. Please pray that she would be at peace, feel God's presence, not be discouraged and hopeful.
Thanks,
Connie

Just Salad?

After a long and tiring day at Ikea, I didn't feel much like making a fancy meal. Actually, I felt more like having a pizza delivered, but I took one for the team and threw together a salad.

I don't think it's what Ms Apron had in mind, especially after all the meals she's been witness to. Oh, by the way....she'd like Donna to lighten up on using the symbols...♪♫♥♦♪►◄↕☼...you're starting to make her dizzy.

So, she sat her fairly large bohunkus ( she can't help it, she's had way to much good food on her journey) on my counter and anticipated something really scrumptious coming her way.

SURPRISE!!

Not tonight my fine floral friend. Tonight we eat salad!

So, here's what my tired self threw together. A semi/sort of Greek salad. Made with love from what ever I could find in the refrigerator and cupboard.

Her whining about the aroma of the Feta cheese was really starting to annoy me. OK, it's not my "smell of the day" either, but it sure tastes good! Next I threw in a can of tuna...and called it dinner. I was out of olives...my favorite, that will teach me to keep my cupboard stocked.

Here's to you Ms. Apron...may your hips become slimmer and may the aroma of Feta Cheese be always at your back!

NOTE:

I forgot that I was asked what was inside my Ikea bag...here's the contents.

1. Cloudberry Jam

2. Lingonbery Jam

3. Candles that smell out of this world good...like fresh berries!

4. A gift certificate

5. Swedish Almond Cake....I really need to know how to make this cake

Welcome To MIchigan - Again!

Well guess who was waiting in my mailbox when I got home from shopping at Ikea today? Yep, our friend, Ms. Apron. She was acting a bit forward...trying to see what I bought at Ikea...I think a lesson in manners may be necessary. Between you, me and the fence post, I think Ms. Apron has been fairly spoiled. She's been to so many beautiful homes, visited with family members and dear friends and been witness to some of the most scrumptious food I've ever seen, pampered washed, repaired, ironed, and napped, and sang, praised and worshiped --- I should have such a life!

Well Toots, I think your just about to the end of your carefree journey...this ain't Disneyland! You're with the cranky old Senior Citizen now, and my mood swings may be the biggest ride you've been on! Straighten those ties...the week is just starting!

Dear sisters

Dear sisters , I seek your wise and godly counsel as my spirit is disquieted within me.

My Dad 's elder brother 's widowed wife is Aunt Virginia. She is 80 plus, infirm, invalid and needs 24 hr assistance. She doesn 't have any children. She has day and night helpers who take care of her needs - 2 women and a house help.
Aunt V had alienated herself from all her relatives years ago. Her attitude and actions just turned off everybody. We were the only one' s who were good to her and Uncle and assisted and helped them and went the second mile for them. But they were always very mean to us. I cannot even describe the ways they hurt us and tried to harm us, more so after they retired.
Aunt Virginia depends on a certain Mr & Mrs P. to help her in many ways, and they do good work I am happy. But I came to know that Mrs P speaks to her quite rudely and her night helper -Sita too.

I feel bad about this but I can 't confront these women because Mrs P is a very contentious and foul mouthed woman, I can 't stand up to her verbal assaults ( she is a Christian mind you) -she will kill me in an instant.And if the night helper leaves then Aunt V will be all alone. Night helpers are hard to get.

Aunt V also is a very difficult person to deal with Her helpers say she drives them crazy, which I know is true.
Although I feel emotionally and spiritually disturbed I cannot do anything about it.I can only do what ever I can for Aunt V and leave the rest to God.
I can only commit Mrs P and the night helper Sita in God' s hands as talking with them will only worsen the situation. And Aunt V will also not sympathize with me - this has happened before. Once she was hospitalized and the helpers she hired were not doing their duty properly, in fact I did all the hard work in the hospital- all alone.
One day the helpers were insulting Uncle and Aunty and I stepped in and confronted them. The helpers were very mean to me, and uncle and aunty supported them. No one will believe this!.
So the best thing would be to keep silent, pray and let God have His way.
Do pray for this situation, for Mrs P and Sita who is not a Christian.
