no one can return from The Great Beyond to tell us its Mysteries...
but one thing is sure; we will all find out for ourselves and who knows when?
Have you made room in your heart for the Greatest Love of All?
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, 6 so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’? 10 Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 “This is what the Lord says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands? 12 It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.
I came across an old picture of suppertime recently when all of the family still lived at home...
How ordinary that sacred scene seemed at the time!
I was really planning on posting this What's-for-supper Thursday last night
(click link for previous posts) but the old engine ran out of steam...
I thought I had a supper-menu planned until I cleaned out the fridge
and realized there are too many left-overs that need using
and I could not justify my original chicken dinner plan...
so, what to do with a bunch of less than stellar looking tail-end garden-gleanings?
Roasted Vegetables;
red and green peppers, carrots, beets, squash, sweet potatoes, brussels sprout and broccoli.
(last 3 veggies from store:)
Toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar,(a few tbsp of each) cayenne pepper (1/4 tsp)
and sprinkle of kosher salt.
Bake at 400F til tender approx. 15-20 min.
With the leftover hamburgers and mashed potatoes I tried an invention!
When Matt and Victoria asked 'what's this?' I wasn't sure what to call them so they are still
Hamburger and Mashed Potato Thingys.
Slice the burgers in half and put in a baking dish.
I had some 'tired' kale that needed using so I made a filling by browning in olive oil
fresh chopped garlic, red onion and kale with stems removed.
Add a splash or two of apple cider vinegar, some salt and pepper.
I'm not mentioning amounts because I didn't measure and they vary
depending on how many people are being served.
Put a glob of filling on each burger half then top with leftover mashed potato filling;
To the potatoes I added pepper, paprika, parsley, two beaten eggs
splash of light cream and shredded cheese.
Garnished with a jalapeno pepper-ring.
Bake on top rack above veggies for same amount of time!
I'm realizing how quickly the numbers at the supper table are dwindling
so I try not to take for granted the seemingly sometimes messy and mundane..
But the messy-and-mundane could be addressed while supper baked
making eating time extra-relaxing!
Supper hour minutes is a little later right now due to work schedules.
When I asked Matt for a verdict on the hamburger-potato thingys he said
he thought of this scene from the movie What About Bob...😋
