ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH, 2020

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

46  DAYS UNTIL WINTER 

Sunrise: 7:05 am

 Sunset: 5:18 pm

Life is a special occasion!!

Hallmark

Today is National Condy Day which honors the sweet confections that have been around for thousands of years.  The ancient Egyptians preserved nuts and fruits in honey and the Aztecs and Mayans consumed chocolate during religious rituals as early as 300 AD.

Today there are thousands of different types of candy, all with their own unique history.  For example Tootsie Rolls were  created by Leo Hirshfield of New York in 1896.  He named them after his daughter who was nicknamed Tootsie.  The average American eats twenty five pounds of candy each year. That may seem like a lot but the average person in Denmark eats 36 pounds each year.

Whether you like chocolate, caramels, hard candy or marzipan, treat yurself to something delicious to celebrate today!

If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

i like candy as well as anyone else does,  but have made an effort to cut back on all sweet stuff this year. So I won’t share any recipes for candy today, but there are many. On the menu for today is:

Beef Stroganoff

2 tbsp olive oil

10 oz miushrooms, sliced

1 onion chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 1/2 cup beef broth

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

3/4 c. flour

1/2 cup sour cream

6 oz. whole wheat noodles

1 sprig parsley for garnish

Add oil to skillet over medium high heat.  Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, salt and pepper .  Cook stirring until softened.  Add beef and continue cooking breaking up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink.  Add ;broth and Worcestershire. Bring to boil.  Whish 1/2 cup broth and flour in a small bowl.  Add to the pan and stir until thickened.  Add sour cream.

Meanwhile high a pan of water to boil.  Add noodles an  cook according to package directions .  Drain and serve with stroganoff.  Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Makes 8 servings

i’ll be having a side of broccoli with this today.  It would also be good with a garden salad.

Italian Hot Dish 

Maple Roasted Chicken and Acorn Squash

Apple Topped Ham Steak
