Salad dressing

November 30 2007

Genesis 3: 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

These bottles are done in watercolor and are for herb dressing, I collect these just to paint and sit in my window for the light that shines through.

I have come up with another recipe, something that needs a better taste. You know these attractive little packages of white turkey that look like so clean and tastefull? Well I think a ground up lighter knot would taste better, so I will just have to invent something to make a dish. Now I like turkey if it is fried, baked or smoked, but to me this little package of meat does not taste at all. So here goes,

I make this herbal vinegar and also make my Salsa in the summer when I have fresh tomatoes and herbs.

This little eye catching tub of white might could use some of it.

1 cup chopped onion

2 chopped sweet pepper

1/2 cup celery

2 chopped jalapeno pepper

2 chopped medium size garlic cloves

1 cup salsa salt and pepper

Saute first 5 veggies, add the turkey and cook until done, and add salsa.

I did a taste test then I knew immediately that it would have to have something else.

so I cooked 3 pieces of bacon and crumbled it in, that made a difference.

When I made a salad and used some of the herbal mustard dressing that I make (check this on and older post) then spread that on top; well the white turkey is eatable.

Genesis 1: 29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

This scripture is most interesting of all
you could read, just think how wonderful and gracious God was to us. Just think of all the needs of a tree and the seed, what all the things we can use.

This art work is one made of handmade watercolor paper, of the tree it furnished the material that went in to that process. Then that paper was hand beaten with the stain of the the pecan hulls of the tree. Hm mm

I retrieved this artwork from the galleria I had it hanging in so could make some pictures for someone.

Luke 17: 2
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about is neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Looks like he may be a business man, cause I am thinking it through right now. So don't even think about setting the wrong example before me because I am soaking it all up.

Pecans

November 22 2007

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 35: 3

The pecans are falling and I need all the help I can get. But I have to taste of them first since that is usually the first thing I do. I am just fifteen monts old but I can do it.

I believe this the first year they have been so many.

The Falcon

Friday November 9 2007

My this week has gone by fast and the month is getting on just as fast, four more days and the month will be half gone.

It has been a beautiful day and the hickory trees are getting even more beautiful. Of all the paints I have painted with that is a yellow that I never came up with. Only God can bring out the beauty of the hickory tree. The deep brown that surrounds it brings out the warmth and glow it has. That is not in this painting but watch it when you are traveling the country roads. This painting is painted with acrylic on canvas.

Psalm 23: 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Proverbs 26: 2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Pelican

October 6 007

Today in Covington County Ms is voting day and I will go this morning and then wait up tonight to see who won.This is always and exciting day. The weather is cool and kind of windy and cloudy but it really feels good out side.

This is, a pelican I suppose, I am not to up on the kind of birds I paint, he just has such a graceful neck that I couldn't resist. A pelican is suppose to have large web feet with a very large bill and pouch to catch his food most likely fish.

He is painted with acrylic on a canvas. Can't you just see him strolling around in low water hunting his prey?

St. Luke 12: 24 says "Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them:

how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Old World Santa

We have a beautiful day here in this area, don't seem like it so close to Christmas.
This is an old world Santa that I sculpted, it is made of polymer clay and is about 18 inches high, dressed in red velvet with a gown of silk taffeta. I will be at the Galleria for viewing.

Psalms 108: 3
I will praise thee, O Lord , among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

I have another recipe that I have made up since I like something sweet ever once a while. Even if I wasn't watching the sugar it would be good for any body. I have been blessed with peppers this summer and you can use these Jalapeno peppers so many ways. I have been eating sugar free jello and apples for quiet some times now and keep adding things to it. If you like these peppers take the seed out and cut up real fine and try adding to your vegetables, sweets and any thing you can think of.

I used one sugar free strawberry jello

1 apple, gala or delisious

1 cup blueberries

2 Tablespoon celery chopped fine

1 Tablespoon Jalapeno pepper chopped fine

2 Tablespoon Splendo

After it has jelled, spread with crounchy peanut butter. If the pepper is too hot for you the peanut butter will help calm it down.

Deuteronomy 28 :8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto: and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord God giveth thee.

Winter greens

October 3 007
This is a beautiful fall day near my home and so pleasant with the sun shinning. This is a fall garden with mustard, turnips, collards and last spring peppers. .
I am thinning out the mustard to give the turnips room to make roots, this will last me for a long time and then the we will get ready for Spring again. Goes good with the potato bread.

1 Chronicles 4: 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. .
