ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
AUGUST 16TH, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's TUESDAY!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DDIL #3
May the dear Lord Bless you today and always!
Due to being away, my birthday gift will be just a little late. My card at least is now in the mail.
Hope this birthday is a very special day !
NEW IN THE KITCHEN
Bratwurst Festival Day
A Bratwurst is a big, fat sausage of German origin. In the U.S., you'll usually find it made of a pork and spices, severd on a bun and topped with sauerkraut. Over in Germany, it's made with different kinds of meat, but usually veal. And as to eating... a bratwurst in one hand and a roll in the other is politically correct. Either way, it sounds really good to me
Bratwurst Potato Skillet
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 fully cooked bratwurst, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
In a heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes; cover and cook for 6 minutes or until browned and crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
Add bratwurst, onion and green pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until meat is heated through and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Combine the soy sauce, orange juice, basil, salt and pepper; add to the skillet. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until meat and vegetables are evenly coated.
This recipe makes 2 servings
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU!
AROUND HOME
The middle of August is always a reminder that summer is almost over and that back to school is just around the corner. I know that at least one of my grands is already back at school. DS#2 said the first day the bus forgot to drop her off at home...so that was an exciting start to the school year.
We need to remember to make the most of the remainder of this month as soon our summer days will be just a memory. Hopefully I will have several camping days left before the season is over. This summer has gone by way too fast for me.
PRAYER REQUEST
DDIL#6's mom has asked for prayers. Her dad fell in the garage and broke his hip and will be going to a rehab facility once he leaves the hospital. In addition her sister will be having surgery on Friday for a tumor on her parathyroid. All prayers would be greatly appreciated.
My Memory Verse for August 15th
So prepare your minds for service and have self control. All your hope should be for the gift of grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ is shown to you.
1 Peter 1:13

We love Bratwurst in this house. It's always the first thing we buy to eat when we go to Germany! They serve it up quite simply, grilled and on a plate with some boiled potatoes, onions, sauerkraut and some delicious German mustard. OH, it always tastes soooo good! xxoo
