Think I'll sit down here for a bit...

One of the guys that taught me to play guitar used to eat raw garlic, right from the garden. That and eating raw onions, managed to keep people at a distance.

Have you seen the garlic stuffed olives? I can eat more than a few and I have to try very hard to resist buying several jars at a time!

Darn--that's one I missed---now I'm on a quest.

I'll eat anything that has garlic except---------garlic jelly. I thought I had found the ultimate when I opened the jelly. After a few bites it stayed in the fridge for a few months then found it's way into the trash......never again.

Yep. Love 'em. I really like garlic, but my wife doesn't cook with it too often.

Garlic in chili, garlic in salads, with hamburger, with steak, with fish. Only thing I don't like with garlic is pork.

Ctay, Bankhead is truely beautiful. So's your Granddaughter. If you like scenery like that, come up here to Trinity, Humboldt, Shasta, Tehema, and Syskiou counties, ie: Northern California. In fact, the entire Pacific Northwest. Just remember to come with a full wallet. You'll need it. That's why I want to escape California so badly. It's insanely expensive. Unfortuneately, the Lord has trapped me here and refuses to let me go.

Sorry, I'll quit whining now. And no, I don't want cheese and crackers to go with it.

As to Garlic, I love to put a crushed clove or two in my spaghetti sauce. It simmers for three hours and the garlic is quite mild when it's through. I, like my Mum before me, skewer the clove with a toothpick so that it can be fished out when the sauce is finished. I don't know why I do this as I'm the only one who eats it. Just kinda fun to do, I guess. With my sensitivity to Soy of any kind, I'm cooking from scratch increasingly. It's fun, if time consuming.

Hey, I just noticed, we're up to page 99. Is this the end of Seajoy's kitchen? I'm really gonna miss it. How 'bout I put the kettle on for a last cuppa? Hot chocolate too!

I wonder who's gonna get to do the last post????

You're not alone in that thinking, Clunker, but we're on God's time, not our own.

Thanks, sis. I needed that. Do you remember the song from the eighties (I think), 'Livin' on Tulsa Time'?

Livin' on Jeee-sus time!
Livin' on Jeee-sus time!
Well I'm a livin' just for him, yeah,
I'm a livin just for him, yeah,

I know, I know. LOL Don't quit my day job, right?

I looked at the last two that split and they were at 1002 posts each. So, I guess we've got a ways to go yet. At least another couple of days, maybe?

Hey if you like garlic I wish you all could have had dinner with me tonight. I cooked green chili shredded beef all day in the crockpot for burritos and made homemade tomato salsa to go with it. Garlic galore!!! MMMM it was good!

I would love to go out west sometime, doesn't look like I'll ever make it, Farthest west I've been is Louisiana. Alabama is pretty cheap to live in compared to other places. I love driving through Tennessee and Kentucky, very pretty scenery.

I love pickled okra.

Thank you Father for a wonderful church home. I need to be in church with my beloved brothers and sisters today like I need water to live.

Please give me your healing grace and and embrace my wounded soul as I worship you with all the glory and praise.

Amen

Hmm, lyrics might need just a little help, but I can assure you that I'm no better. Creativity is not one of my gifts.

What do you do with your palms you receive on Palm Sunday?

I didn't go to church this weekend, not feeling so great, but my husband and daughter brought home palms for us. I always hang them near our back door...actually attached to the shillelagh. I try to make it in the shape of a cross....but it ends up looking more like an X.

 

[Studeclunker]

The church I attended in Riverside had several king palms. They would cut fronds every year. The previous year's were carefully stored in the attic and allowed to thoroughly dry. then they were cut in four and six inch strips. The four inch were noched in the middle and a small split was cut in the six. Then the two were joined to make crosses. There was always more than enough. I still have several. I forgot about them this morning. Otherwise one of them would have been in my jacket pocket for church. Actually, I forgot that this was Palm Sunday. I believe I'll make the pilgrimage to Redding for Easter services. It'd be nice to worship with people who believe the same and be able to take communion for once.

just a few more posts until we are on part 2 of this wonderful thread!! way to go, seajoy!

I told the pastor tonight I needed to talk to him.

 

[porterross]

Poor man. It takes a special person to be able to stick with the ministry. From what I understand, many men leave early on because of discord and lack of support from the first congregation that calls them. How very sad is that?

That doesn't happen... does it?


Seriously... the problem with first calls out of seminary is that it's tough to minister to a congregation that didn't call you. My church didn't call me, they called a seminary candidate. There was no input from the congregation as to what their ministerial needs were, what approach to ministry the pastor takes, etc. It's a crap shoot and you take what you get. It rarely is a situation that can exist long term.
