ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY, JULY 16TH, 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.

Today is National Corn Fritters Day which celebrates savory bites of fried or baked corn batter, a mixture made with corn, egg, flour milk, and melted butter. These treats can be eaten alone, served as a side, or enjoyed with a topping like syrup, powdered sugar, or jam.
Although corn fritters originated in the South, many other cultures enjoy similar dishes. For example in Asia, Pakoras are a popular snack. This dish is made with vegetables dipped in batter that are then deep fried.
To celebrate today, order some from your local southern style restaurant or grab your frying pan to cook up some homemade. fritters.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Comfort food is the food that makes us feel good, satisfied, calm, cared for and carefree. It’s food that fills us up emotionally and physically… Finding comfort in food is a basic human experience.
Ellie Krieger
Corn fritters are a favorite of mine and when I make them, I take the easy way out and simply add a drained can of corn to my pancake batter and fry them up just like pancakes. The first time I had them was at a friends house when I was a teen ager. Her mom made them for breakfast and they were the best I ever had. Now I think of them as comfort food.
I may just make some today for dinner instead of my weekly seafood pick. It’s a easy and delicious meal for me. I have some maple syrup in the cupboard that will go very well with them.
I went to ge get a haircut yesterday so today is going to be my day to go shopping. I usually try to get out earlier in the week, so today it’ll probably take me longer than usual. But it is what it is.
I hope you have a FANTASTIC Friday!

Time for a easy and quick dinner.
I usually make mine the same way you do but I like to cut fresh corn off the cob instead of canned. I also had them for the first time at a friend's house when I was a teen. Enjoy your shopping trip today and have a great weekend! :)
Those corn fritters look good!
