Lively eating

January 24 -2008

Job 6: 6
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

In this dreary weather it causes me to think of something tasteful to cook and keep something on the stove that will keep the kitchen warm, it turns me back to the herbs and say that will do it. You can see the Rosemary bush is still standing under the snow, some people like it cooked with chicken but I am not so much for that so I will get out the herbal vinegar, that has Rosemary in it and marinate some kind of meat. Cook some kind of greens and a hoe cake of cornbread. The herbal goes good with the greens to, for me I just like a ham hock cooked in the greens. I found this little scripture in Job which I read a lots and thought it was unique.

Snow

January 23: 2008

Job 27: 6-9

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth: likewise to the rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

9; Out of the south comet the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

Well this is our snow year, we only get snow down here in the south once in about every fifteenth year apart. Saturday morning I looked out and saw every thing white then in a few minutes I saw it coming down. Oh so beautiful.

I am thankful for the snow, it helps to pulverize the soil and kills off some of the pest that would take over my garden. I think it enriches the soil.

Eggs and Herbal Vinegar

Job 6: 6
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

For those of you that like the herbal vinegar and may like the eggs I wrote about in the previous message, there is other things that can be added for more taste. I have added some purple onion, a couple of pieces of celery, some salt, fresh ground black pepper and a bit of hot pepper flakes. I like my food with a bit of sting, so you can do that to your own taste. Op! by now I need to add some more eggs, three of them are already !!!!!!

Eggs and Herbal Vinegar

To Day January 5 2008

Psalms 52: 8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I have always liked boil eggs, especially on my salad so I decided to come up with a more flavor able one for it. I used a fourth of a cup of the mustard sauce that is made with the herbal vinegar and about three tablespoons of olive oil, I added some more pure vinegar in case the herbal vinegar is a little strong. The mustard sauce already had olive oil in it so I didn't need much more. I will leave the eggs in this for several days and give it time to take up the flavor. You can always add more of what ever taste you like the best.
Hope you will like this.

Magnolia

For the Lord shall be thy confidence , and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Mississippi is the magnolia state and is a little watercolor I have painted. It is more vibrant than on this picture.
