ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FOR FRIDAY, MAY 28TH, 2021

The moments 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.

26 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Sunrise: 5:59 am

 Sunset: 8:52 pm

Life is a special occasion!

Today is Hamburger Day which celebrates hamburgers and cheeseburgers that have been a staple of the American diet for decades.  Nothing says say summertime like a big juice hamburger.  Americans eat almost 60 billion burgers a year - that’s the equivalent of 3 burgers a week for every person in the United States.

Although they originated in Hamburg, Germany, eating a burger on a bun is actually an American tradition.  The hamburger as we know it was most likely invented in Seymore, Wisconsin.  Each year the city hosts a hamburger festival called Burger Fest.  That is where the world’s largest hamburger made its debut in 2001. It weighed 8,266 pounds.

To celebrate today, grill up some tasty burgers for dinner tonight .  Don’t forget about the delicious says you can customize your burger.  Add bacon, ketchup, lettuce and mayonaise and many other favorites.

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

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

It requires a certain kind of mind to see the beauty in a  hamburger bun.

It’s the start of Memorial Day weekend so I’m sure many will be having burgers at some point in the next few days.  But here at my house the menu for this week say today I’ll be having:

Spring Roll Salad

Makes 1 serving

1 tbsp. smooth peanut butter

1 /2 tsp. sesame oil

1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar

1 tsp maple maple syrup

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp water

1/2 tsp. minced garlic

Pinch of crushed red pepper, optional

3 oz. cooked shrimp

1/2 cup cooked brown riche

1/4  cup chopped red cabbage

1/4 cup julienned bell pepper

1/4  cup julienned carrots

1/4 cup julienned cucumbers

1/4 cup avocado

Fresh mint and sesame seeds for garnish

Whisk peanut butter, oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, water, garlic and crushed red pepper, if desired, in a small bowl until smooth.

Combine lettuce, shrimp, rice cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, cucumber and avocado in a bowl.  Add dressing and toss to combine.  Garnish with mint and sesame seeds, if desired.

I’m using green cabbage instead of red because that what I have on hand here It shouldn't make much difference at.all. 

The weather here is cold and rainey, and looks to stay that way until Monday when we’ll start warming up again. I’m staying in today and making Macaroni Salad for the birthday party I’m going to tomorrow.  Hopefully it won’t rain all day as it’s supposed to be outdoors. 

I hope you have a FANTASTIC Friday!
