The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

Access the Wounded Heroes Guestbook to write a message of encouragement for a hero wounded in the line of duty.   Messages in the Wounded Heroes Guestbook are viewed by wounded soldiers, their loved ones, and the general public.

VetsCoR is pleased to present: a CD message of support from America to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen deployed in the Middle East, and other places around the globe, in the ongoing war on terrorism.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

Do you have any pancake recipes for the Canteen crew?

I'm about to head to bed,... (It's another "tomorrow is going to get her earlier than usual" night, Kathy.)

...so forgive me for not taking a moment to go "test" my Freedom Flapjacks (lemon crepes) recipe. This is one where I throw together a bit of that and scootch of this and it's yummy. I hoping that in my fatigued state, I remember all of the this and that that goes into it.

I mix this up in a coffee cup, and if I make it a thin crepe (Freedom Flapjack) batter, it makes 4 of 'em; adding a scootch more flour and you get 2 pancakes:

Luscious Lemon Freedom Flapjacks

3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoons FRESH lemon juice*
1 large egg
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch sea salt
Beat until combined and frothy.

Add:
2-3 tablespoons unbleached flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch baking powder
Optional: lemon zest or crushed dried lemon granules
Optional: a plop of vanilla ;)
I plop the flour, etc. on top of the milk-egg mixture, then use a fork to mix the baking soda and powder into the flour, and then mix it all together. For Freedom Flapjacks, it'll be a thin batter.

Melt a smidgen butter in a small nonstick pan until it froths, then pour in 1/4 of the batter, turning the pan until the batter coats the bottom of the pan. I prefer to keep them "soft," so once the butter is melted, I only use a medium-low heat. Also, unlike for regular pancakes, these won't have the bubbles that form on the surface and break; instead, occasionally jiggle the pan to keep the crepe "loose" in the pan or use a spatula to loosen the crepes around the edges. Once it slides easily in the pan, flip it over and continue to cook for another 15 seconds or so. (It's important that you DO NOT BROWN the crepe ... err Freedom Flapjack!)

*I usually use Minute Maid 100% lemon juice -- available in the freezer case at the supermarket. It comes in a bright yellow squirt bottle. (Thawed by the time I use it, of course; it keeps thawed for weeks in the fridge and still continues to taste "fresh.")

I'll try to get some pictures taken so you can see 'em. No promises that I'll get that done today, but how 'bout by next week? ;)

OH! I prefer to serve 'em with a light dusting of powdered sugar OR spread with a little raspberry creme (honey-raspberry blend), then rolled, and dusted with powdered sugar if I'm feeling really ambitious and craving sweets.

I'll post some of my pictures of some other breakfast goodies here in a bit. (I've been told that I even blink in slow motion when I'm in a tired state, so bear with me here.) ;)

Never mind: It appears he's making some sort of fishy-filled crepes -- and he's getting his crepes entirely too dark! I guess I'll have to give him lessons. ;)
