I still love to see the entry of Santa Claus via the Macy's parade. While the parades are on, I start my meal. After it's all cooked to sit down with my family and have a nice meal together. With both girls so busy and my busy schedule we don't have a lot of time to eat together...this will be nice.

Did you have a person in your life who is your Christian mentor? If so, how have they inspired you?

I think while he was living my father was the greatest Christian mentor I had. He exuded the love of Christ in all he did. Through all of his trials and difficulties he still had such great faith. He inspired me to never quit.

If you could go back in time, what era would you go to and why?

I would like to go back to Jesus' time, maybe be an onlooker to his preaching and ministry. That would have been awesome.

What is your favorite inspirational quote - not from Scripture?

Success

To laugh often and much
to win the respect
of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world
a bit better, whether
by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life
has breathed easier
because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Do you decorate your home for Christmas the day right after Thanksgiving?

I usually decorate right after Thanksgiving...this year, my oldest daughter did it while I was away. It looks so good, what a blessing that girl is

 

[MMXII]

What is your favorite Holiday tradition and why?

My favorite is for Christmas. We get up and open our presents, then after that is all cleaned up we read the Christmas story from Luke. I think my girls know it by heart. The rest of the day is spent with family until our non-traditional Christmas dinner...lasagna.

I think my favorite meal is steak, baked potato and a salad. I had a great one when I was in Texas at the Texas Roadhouse

The meal that I do best on is my lasagna. I don't pre-cook the lasagna noodles.

Let's see....lasagna noodles, spaghetti sauce (I make mine with Italian sausage), ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasonings, parmesan cheese, mozzerella cheese and salt & pepper.

Make your favorite spaghetti sauce (I do it a bit runny since I don't pre-cook the noodles). While that is simmering away, mix the ricotta, egg, parmesan and seasonings. Put a little of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the pan, then a layer of noodles, 1/2 the sauce, spread half the ricotta/parmesan on top of that then half the mozzerella. Repeat the same for the second layer. I cover mine with aluminum foil, bake at 350 for about 45 minutes then remove the foil for another 15-30 minutes. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and you have it. BTW, this is what I fix for Christmas diner.
