Pumpkin Pilaf and Meeting Jesus

This dish Pumpkin Pilaf with Dry Fruits on Campfire

from Country Life Vlog

inspired last night's supper!

So, no recipe...

I just tried to imitate what she did, 

the huge difference being, mine was not cooked on a campfire...

The result was pure delight!

SO good😋

(I missed a picture of one step)

After soaked rice, sugared, spiced pumpkin and boiling water-soaked raisins

 are layered in the pan make a sauce of melted butter, white sugar...

Add milk or light cream and boiling water to pan, 

enough liquid to make enough sauce to barely cover pilaf...

Bake at 350-375 till rice and pumpkin are cooked!

Life is like a buffet with lots on display

to whet desire's appetite and keen delight!

This morning's Daily Bread Devotion

challenges us to 

'Delight yourself also in the Lord,

And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Just between you and me

Oh, wouldn’t it be grand

If we would find felicity

In love’s greatest command

And wouldn’t it be nice

To train our taste and touch

To glory in the sacrifice

Of second miles and such

The common bond of need

Makes us like family

Where we all shoulder word and deed’s

Responsibility

The common bond of grace

Levels the playing field

Where delight and desire chase

What soon turns into yield

Just between you and me

Let’s picture if we can

Beneath the faces that we see

Jesus as fellowman

Ah, suddenly want's wish

We'd reevaluate

Embarrassed by the empty dish

Beside our heaping plates

Just between you and me

Oh, wouldn't it be grand

If, as we/He reached out we would see

The nail-scars in His hands

Matt.25:40

And the King will answer and say to them,

 ‘Assuredly, I say to you, 

inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, 

you did it to Me.’
