Welcome to Amy's Place.
I watched the memorial services this morning. I thought that Nancy looked very fragile but she seemed at peace. I think she is happy that his suffering is over. I'm sure the last few years have been especially tough on her.
Hope you stop by again. Have a nice evening.
Morning, Amy.
Good morning, Jacqui.
How was your Tuesday? (Or is it just getting started?) I spent a lot of time napping and watching TV today.
Sweet Potato-Bacon Biscuits
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2003
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes, cooled
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
5 slices cooked bacon, drained and crumbled
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set aside.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter and work in with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a bowl, whip the sweet potatoes with the brown sugar until very smooth. Add to the flour mixture and mix in lightly but thoroughly with your fingers. Add 3/4 cup of the buttermilk and the bacon and gently work to make a smooth dough, slightly sticky, being careful not to overwork and adding more liquid as needed 1 teaspoon at a time.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat out into a large rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 10 large biscuits and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and risen, 15 to 18 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve hot with butter.
My Tuesday is about halfway through. 4pm here. Ooops, sorry about the "good morning" business... getting ahead of myself there...
The air has a slight chill to it - not too bad, considering it's now officially winter here. (I call it WINO - Winter In Name Only - lol!!!)
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Tuesday !
Have a cup while you Freep !
I hope Nancy finds happiness.
America is a great nation and it takes a lot of work to keep her that way. Reagan was a fighter and we must keep fighters at the helm.
Read: 1 Samuel 25:14-35
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. —Matthew 5:9
Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 30-31; John 18:1-18
David had been forced to live in the countryside to escape King Saul's jealous wrath. A group of about 600 men and their families had gathered around him. For several months they camped near Carmel where the flocks of Nabal (Abigail's husband) were grazing. David's men had helped Nabal's shepherds protect the sheep from robbers. Now the shearing time had come, and David sent messengers to request some compensation from Nabal, who was a wealthy man. But he refused and treated David's men with disdain.
In anger David rashly decided to kill Nabal and all the men in his household. When Abigail heard what had happened, she quickly gathered a large supply of food, intercepted David and his fighting men, and humbly apologized for her husband's surly behavior. David immediately realized that she had prevented him from carrying out a vengeful decision, and he praised God (1 Samuel 25:32).
Are we as quick to resolve a conflict? Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). —Herb Vander Lugt
Love your graphic, but I thought it only worked for cats.
See what I mean? (see post 101)
Ohhhh, were your ears burning? I didn't say aaaany names...(You are a teddy bear on the inside arent't you?, cuz I told Diva Betsy Ross that 'you' were...)
Oh, it wasn't just wedding dates, it was dates in general. I have a brother 1-3-61, and a sister 5-22-65, then there is less numerical rythym after them (there are 6 children).
How are you Jacqui?
Did someone mention hugs? Here's one for all y'all.
........................Squeeze the day!
Someone needs to jump inside those arms and take advantage of all those hugs!
I know a girl who was schooled in Manhattan
She reads dusty books and learns phrases in Latin
She is an author or maybe a poet
A genius but its just this world doesn't know it
She works on her novel most every day If you laugh she will say
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Well I know a doctor A fine young physician
Left his six figure job for a mission position
He's healin' the sick in an African clinic
He works in the dirt and writes home to the cynics
He says we work through the night almost every day
As we watch the sun rise we can say
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Well I know a man who's been doin' some thinkin'
He's as bitter and cold as the whisky he's drinkin'
He's talkin' bout fear 'bout chances not taken
If you listen to him you can hear his heart breakin'
He says "One day you're a boy The next day you're dead
I wish way back when someone had said..."
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de Dai Dai Lai de Dai Dai Lai de Dai Dai-e-i
Well one thing I've noticed wherever I wander
Everyone's got a dream he can follow or squander
You can do what you will with the days you are given
I'm tryin' to spend mine on the business of livin'
So I'm singin' my songs off of any old stage
You can laugh if you want He'll still say
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
