font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">Yes indeed Starbucks sales them, the local coffee shop in the mall sales them- And my kitchen at home has them too! Oh yes, Gingerbread Latte is a favorite coffee drink for many people. It's a drink that reminds me of the fall season, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all rolled up in one. I guess that's because I drink it during these holidays more than the any other time of the year; come to think of it, these spices are also used the most during this time of the year as well. If you love the taste of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg or vanilla; then you will love this hot coffee drink. And Oooo yes! You can't drink it without whipped cream and gingerbread cookies either!<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="size10 Georgia10" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="size10 Georgia10" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">Now let's talk about the recipe.

So what's in that sandwich?</b></span></span><p></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I toasted my bread just like in the picture. Not sure what kind of bread it was but I had a fresh made loaf of white bread, so I went with that. I cut my slices a bit thicker than the standard slice.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Then I smushed up a bowl of avocado. Do I spread it on plain or do I make it into guacamole first? I wasn't sure so I went with plain first.</span> </li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I then sliced up cucumbers and layered it on. Do you think it's cucumbers? I think it was cucumbers. It looked like it had 2 layers so I sliced up 2 thin layers of cucumbers.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Then I layered sprouts on the sandwich. I wonder what kind of sprouts it was. Bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, I will go with what I've got. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Then comes the white stuff. What do you think that layer is? Is it cottage cheese? Is it cream cheese? Is it feta cheese? I couldn't tell from the picture, so I just mixed all 3 together. LOL! </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I went heavy on the salt and pepper.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I made my sandwich a tall sandwich just like the picture. So tall I could barely get my mouth around it. Yum!</span></li></ul><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Then I tasted..... this tastes really creamy</span><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Then I tasted again..... this tastes really different</span></b><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">It tasted very light. It tasted a bit to light but good. So I took the remaining smushed avocado and made guacamole and tried that instead of plain and I like it much better. That flavor move made it feel more satisfying. I loved the layer of cucumbers. The sprouts were.... just ok. The sandwich was so beautiful though. But I have to be honest I was hungry again after 2 hours. It didn't fill me up. But it did make me crave the creamy sandwich again. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">What do you think was in the sandwich?<br /></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">.............................................................★☆★...........................................................</span><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: medium;">Happy National Sandwich Month everyone</span></b></span></p><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: medium;">"Live everyday like a Holiday" Pam</span></b></span></p><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; white-space: normal;">.............................................................★☆★...........................................................</span><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">.</span></span></p>Gone-ta-potthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10959503301658895541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615826.post-27586450172275099362022-08-10T00:00:00.002-05:002022-08-10T00:00:00.179-05:00Chip Buddy Sandwich<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmYhZPSCw63u-ICDXSel7emxJPKQB2RB4SmxIuWBAHTWr6xR26q1MboVsrzWDYP-4uQimJstd_J0gTBfVeBX7QkoJv380s0sWzuNnEoEBbfUHUjZ59fHVjU6sSQy9J7316m6YKsVWuAZ4F-N8GCOUkbC2PX2n9My_z4Y9fy_lITCDU2ECFMY/s1920/Chip_Butty_Sandwich_frame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmYhZPSCw63u-ICDXSel7emxJPKQB2RB4SmxIuWBAHTWr6xR26q1MboVsrzWDYP-4uQimJstd_J0gTBfVeBX7QkoJv380s0sWzuNnEoEBbfUHUjZ59fHVjU6sSQy9J7316m6YKsVWuAZ4F-N8GCOUkbC2PX2n9My_z4Y9fy_lITCDU2ECFMY/w510-h287/Chip_Butty_Sandwich_frame.jpg" width="510" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div align="left"><span class="size10 Georgia10" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"A chip sandwich, chip butty, (in British English) or french fry sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich made with bread or bread roll (usually white and buttered) and chips (french fries), often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce (i.e. ketchup) or brown sauce.

When I only have a little.... I make pizzetta bread. </b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">This picture is a good example of an easy way to use up the last of your zucchini by slicing it up and baking it on homemade bread. (pizza / pizzetta) Which is exactly what I did for my lunch today. Early this morning I went out to pick some zucchini because I had in my mind, I was going to make some fresh baked lofts of zucchini bread. But when I went out, I found that I didn't have any. Animals came in the night and ate my zucchini and only left me with 1 little zucchini. So, when I only have a little... I make pizzetta bread instead.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>Let's talk about Pizzetta so everyone understands</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">A </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">pizzetta</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> (</span>plural<span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">: </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">pizzette</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">) is a small </span>pizza<span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> that can range in size from a </span>finger food<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202122;"> at around eight centimeters (3 in) in diameter</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; white-space: nowrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">to that of a small personal-sized pizza. I think they work great not just for a light lunch but for a party table where small finger food is being served. For me... I make it the most when I only have a little bit of something left that I need to use up.

Which is exactly how I enjoyed it today. </span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202122;">It is sometimes prepared without a sauce, but you can make a sauce if you want to. I didn't make a sauce today; I just used herbs and zucchini and enjoyed a glass of wine with it and I very much enjoyed it. Pizzetta can be prepared using </span></span>flatbread<span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> as a bread base,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> but </span>puff pastry<span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> is also used too. Additional herbs and greens can be added after pizzetta has been cooked. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><b>A look into our Holiday Calendar</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">📅 Did you know we have a National Pizza Day that's celebrated every February 9th?

It seems the recipe was created so you didn't have to use butter and milk since those ingredients were hard to come by during WW11. The mayonnaise was used as a replacement for those. I remember my mother baking this cake and it was super moist. This find has put a memory in my heart and a smile on my face.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiovd3XVEHNv0A6eJJkhkMnESorAgNY8OxmmT6HBAKMuht_lO-OhdXujPMlRrpoYJiwZ-KcZ_AvpfCLWcolM5Cl1XjHV40TMypouGRlz1Fh4MaeSU5rolSP7NouTzeJAtbRq8-Q0UJ2wKW2nh2rNaF42O3YCok8im94tUCB5KAMMgxQfkIBRU8/s1920/Chocolate_Mayonnaise_Cake_frame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiovd3XVEHNv0A6eJJkhkMnESorAgNY8OxmmT6HBAKMuht_lO-OhdXujPMlRrpoYJiwZ-KcZ_AvpfCLWcolM5Cl1XjHV40TMypouGRlz1Fh4MaeSU5rolSP7NouTzeJAtbRq8-Q0UJ2wKW2nh2rNaF42O3YCok8im94tUCB5KAMMgxQfkIBRU8/w512-h288/Chocolate_Mayonnaise_Cake_frame.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #484848; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>My Closing Thoughts~</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #484848; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"></p><ul style="background-color: white; color: #484848; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"><li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">📅</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"> Mark your calendars ahead: Our Holiday Calendar says we have a National Chocolate Cake Day that is celebrated every January 27th. / German Chocolate Cake Day is June 11th / National Cake Day is November 26.</span></li><li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">This was so fun I just had to share / Love to you all / "Live everyday like a Holiday."</span></li></ul><div><p style="background-color: white; color: #484848; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><span face="sans-serif" style="color: #0d0d0d; white-space: pre-wrap;">.............................................................★☆★............................................................</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #484848; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><span face="sans-serif" style="color: #0d0d0d; white-space: pre-wrap;">resource: wave.video</span></p></div>Gone-ta-potthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10959503301658895541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615826.post-86959899984484216172022-07-25T00:00:00.025-05:002022-07-25T00:00:00.203-05:00Everyone crows about a "Wing It Eating Party" so why not host one<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAMcv44H5bCeYb96TocMn7keIMWo20JxG6BCkNgtIWcfmLFxv7c7FRc2UG8oHKOq6m4MGuxFi45h974tn_WGwBTIH_vENphihsYKdJMJHRkUIyDa8fpbgYtBtqbF7HQ8-dNvVfB3Vg9l5T-ni73jlEHjvJKZSYDDugrPrA1LB3kEAZj2BGCo/s768/bbqchickennbiscuitsinbasket%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="768" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAMcv44H5bCeYb96TocMn7keIMWo20JxG6BCkNgtIWcfmLFxv7c7FRc2UG8oHKOq6m4MGuxFi45h974tn_WGwBTIH_vENphihsYKdJMJHRkUIyDa8fpbgYtBtqbF7HQ8-dNvVfB3Vg9l5T-ni73jlEHjvJKZSYDDugrPrA1LB3kEAZj2BGCo/w470-h313/bbqchickennbiscuitsinbasket%20(1).jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>It's time to host those "Wing It" Parties everyone!</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I have talked quite a bit about sauces and biscuits & gravies lately which reminded me of a great menu for an indoor or outdoor party. What am I talking about? I'm talking about "Wing It Eating Parties"!! What is a "Wing It" party? Well it's a food party that's based on all types of chicken wings, hot wings and buffalo wings based on all types of flavors. The wing meat itself can be baked, deep fried, battered or grilled just like in the photo above.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>Let's talk some facts first</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">A buffalo wing, hot wing or wing is a chicken wing section (drumette or flat) that is traditionally fried unbreaded and then coated in sauce. Classic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauce is composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter. Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.</span></span></p><div><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>How To Plan A Buffalo Wing, Chicken Wing, Hot Wing Party!</b></span></div><div><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">This is going to be very simple. It's your job as a host to fill the meal table with chicken wings, celery sticks and salad, biscuits, butter and honey with all the different kinds of sauces that you can think of.</span></div><div><span class="size8 Helvetica8" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 13px; min-height: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #000066; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Plan A Wing-It Theme Party ~ </b></span></span></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">Everyone crows about a "Wing It Party" at least that what my invitation said so why not host one. A wing it </span><span style="background-color: white;">party is just that; it's a food party that's based on chicken wings in all </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">kinds of flavors. You can choose to host a potluck style party </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">where each guest </span><span style="background-color: white;">brings a plate full of their favorite wings in their favorite wing sauce or </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">you can set up a buffet style party </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">where you provide all the sauces and toppings yourself. </span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Popular Wing Flavors</b> ~</span><span style="background-color: white;"> hot buffafo, </span>sweet chili, honey garlic, parmesan, parmesan garlic, hot sauce, barbecue, honey mustard, teriyaki, lemon pepper, blue cheese, sweet thai, pineapple, honey hoisin, are just a few of the choices. </span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Shaker Toppings would be~ </b></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">shakers full of spices, shaker full of herbs, shaker full of Parmesan </span><span style="background-color: white;">cheese, shaker full of BBQ rub, shaker full of celery flakes and a shaker full of pepper flakes. Shakers add a special spark to the table that guests really really love.</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #000066; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Don't forget the sides & dressing~ </b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">A wing it party wouldn't be complete if it didn't have the traditional raw veggies and dressing with it. Not only serve raw celery and carrots but why not serve bell pepper, broccoli and cauliflower too. All of these go great with salad dressings. The #1 dressing is ranch and blue cheese.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #20124d;">Breads~</span></b> I don't know why but biscuits go great with chicken but at restaurants you don't usually get biscuits with it. Biscuits, butter and honey are fantastic flavor matches to chicken wings. Now easy bread sticks are a fantastic choice too. Bread sticks covered in oil and parmesan like you get at a pizza place is a good choice. And an odd choice is different jams and jellies. Try warmed up and melted preserves too. That super sweet fruity taste is great for the meat and for the bread.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #000066; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Provide Dessert~ </b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Oh yes! Every party is expected to have dessert. It doesn't really matter what you go with.... cupcakes, cookies or pie to name a few and all will work just fine.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #000066; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Gift Giving & Door Prizes~ </b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Decide if you want to play any games or provide any activities at your wing it party. You may just want to host a munch out where no games are played but tons of food is provided for a real wing it munch out. If you don't have games you may want to at least give a door prize to one lucky winner. It could be something as special as a bottle of homemade BBQ sauce to something as silly as a stuffed animal that looks like a chicken.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #000066; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Added Fun~ </b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">For added fun you could meet all your guests at the door in a chicken costume! Oh yeahhh I said it! Are you brave enough to do it? This has been done many times so don't think it hasn't. Don't forget to do the chicken dance. Speaking of chicken dance.... why not have all your guest do the chicken dance.

Buffalo wing sauce can be made with a variable amount of heat/spiciness, with the names of these sauces generally corresponding to the level of heat, such as mild, medium, or hot. Typically, the wings are deep-fried (although they are sometimes grilled or baked). The wings are usually fried in oil until they reach close to a golden-brown color. They are then drained where they can either be placed in a bowl with sauce or even seasoned with salt and pepper. Following this, one covers the bowl tightly and shakes to coat the wings. As an alternative to waiting to coat the wings until after they are cooked, one can also put seasoning over the wings in a sealed bag and shake them until they are coated evenly. Afterwards, arrange the wings on a baking and wait until they are cook thoroughly. Wings can then be served dry with sauce on the side.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.............................................................★☆★...........................................................</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">📅</span><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> Mark your Calendars ahead</span></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: medium;"><b>National Chicken Wing Day</b> is celebrated every July 29th / the day rightfully proclaimed in 1977 by Buffalo mayor... / This is a great day to host a wing it party!</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><div><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.............................................................★☆★...........................................................</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">My Closing Thoughts ~</span></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Who doesn't love wings right!!!! / <a href="http://www.nationalchickenwingday.com" target="_blank">www.nationalchickenwingday.com</a></span></span></li><li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">So maybe you don't want the expense of a party but would like to just do this for your family that lives in the house with you.

Have you ever made it?</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I did the German Spaetzle thing today and it wasn't too bad. Now rotisserie pork roast has always been a favorite of mine but I didn't grow up eating spaetzle, so this was a test dish for me. I found lots of pictures of what it was supposed to look like. All the recipes said it was like dumplings so that information enticed me because I did however grow up eating Southern dumplings cooked in its dumpling soup gravy and I loved that. So, I thought let's give it a try.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Now when I cook pork roast, I normally cook potatoes with it but today I let the spaetzle replace the potatoes. The recipe directions said to use a spaetzle board when making them. Well, I didn't have one of those, so I tried to use a small hole grater, but the holes were to small. So the directions said to use your fork and mash out bite size noodle-thingies. Well, that was a lot of work and even though it was fun it was taking me forever to make a bowl full and using my fork just didn't feel right. LOL~ So needless to say, I rolled out the remaining and cut that stuff with a crinkle roll knife. Ha! Ok so I cheated. Sorry but I passed on the traditional shape of spaetzle. Wait don't get mad at me. I did say I did some. I need that spaetzle board for sure though.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">🛒</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://amzn.to/3yxEUiY" target="_blank">Spaetzle Boards</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>The taste wasn't too bad. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I thought the flavor went well with pork, but I kept thinking it was to dry. Maybe that was because I had southern dumplings in my head. I think it would have been a failure for me if I hadn't of had the brown gravy to pore over it to give it more moisture. I also tossed some cheese on top of that too and it turned out better once I did that. Mushroom gravy would have been a good choice too, I think. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>Next time I make it I'm going to add some herbs in it. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I tried to follow the directions of the recipe I was looking at since it was my first time making it, so I didn't veer from the original. But next time I know I'm going to add some fresh herbs. Maybe parsley, basil or chives, who knows. All in all, it tasted kinda like a dry chewie egg noodle thingie. I guess that's what it was. Again though, I'm very glad I had the gravy because this dish seems to be one you don't want to eat dry. And I know if I add a selection of herbs and spices it will taste much different next time. Maybe some garlic too~ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>Ok to sum it up... </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I went with a basic recipe for the first try. Next time I'm going to herb it up and also go with mushroom gravy and see how that changes things. So it didn't turn out perfect. Be it good or bad, sometime you just have to eat it with a big spoon.

This post is in honor of World Day of Prayer, National Day of Prayer and Unity Day of Prayer in our calendar. All 3 are celebrated in different months. Today my post is about my research on key points of prayer.</i></span></b><p></p><p><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Prayer is talking to God. Prayer is vital to the Spiritual Life of Christians. Christians pray to God because they know that they are following the will of God by doing so. We are taught that God is our Father. As his child, we must speak to him, talk to him and pray to his. In doing so he answers our prayers and guides us in life.</span></b></p><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.............................................................★☆★...........................................................</span><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, "Arial Narrow"; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ask In Faith</span></b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">When you begin to pray, you must believe and have faith in God. <br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: #757575; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Hebrews 11:6</b><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: #757575; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

In prayer we must pray and talk to God more than once. More than twice. We must be "Diligent" in our prayers. Be heartfelt and come to God daily with your prayers, your want's and your needs. Let God know how important it is to you and how much you need his help in the matter that you're praying for. This is what he want's you to do. Why? Because HE want's to be there for you and answer your prayer.<br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, "Arial Narrow"; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b></b><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, "Arial Narrow"; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b>Matthew 7:7-11</b><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1px; text-align: left;"><span class="size11 Helvetica11" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, adobe-helvetica, "Arial Narrow"; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Today, the “kräftpremiär” date in early August has no legal significance. Dining is traditionally outdoors, but in practice the party is often driven indoors by bad weather or aggressive mosquitoes.<br /></span></span></span></div><div align="left"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div align="left"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="size12 Helvetica12" style="color: #406ab0; line-height: 18px; min-height: 18px;"><b style="line-height: 19px; min-height: 19px;">3) </b></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: black; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">Customary party accessories are comical paper hats, paper tablecloths, paper lanterns (often depicting the Man in the Moon), and bibs.
