ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SATURDAY,NOVEMBER 6TH, 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 Nachos Day which celebrates a popular Mexican dish that can be served as a snack, appetizer or a main course. The perfect recipe for nachos include a huge plate of stacked totilla chips topped with lots of melted cheese, salsa, sour cream, jalapeños and quacamole!
Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras, Mexico. One night in 1943 the wives of ten U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan arrived at a restaurant called Victory Club after it had already closed for the evening. Restaurant employee Ignacio Nacho Anaya quickly put together what he had left in the kitchen for the women and called the dish Nachos Especiales. Word about this tasty treat quickly spread throughout Mexico and Texas. Anaya went on to open his own nacho restaurant and his original nacho recipe was printed in St.Anne’s Cookbook in 1954.
Celebrate today by having a big plate stacked high with delicious nachos. Bake your own version or order takeout and enjoy!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I don’t think I’ve ever met nachos that I didn’t like before. It’s almost inconceivable that nachos can be bad. It makes no sense.

Thankfully I do have some leftover nachos to enjoy today as I made Sweet potato Nachos yesterday. I do love having leftovers! I’ll be having a plateful for lunch today. But on the menu is the dish I’m cooking for the weekend:
Maple Roasted Chicken and Acorn Squash
Makes 6 servings
1 medium acorn squash
4 carrots , chopped
1 onion cut into 1 inch pieces
6 bone in chicken thighs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut squash lengthwise in half, remove and discard seeds. Cut each half crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, discard ends
Place squash, carrots and onion in a greased baking pan. Top with chicken, skin side down. Roast 10 minutes
Turn chicken over, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with salt and pepper.Roast 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer entered in chicken reads 175 degrees. and vegetables are tender.
I only have boneless thighs on hand so that is what I’ll be using and will also add a few quartered potatoes to the mix.
I’ve no pictures of my nachos today but decided to share the colorful leaves on the oak tree here next to my house. The leaves have finally changed and there will be a whole lot of leaf raking going on here soon.
Today we’re to be in the mid 50’s and sunny and tomorrow looks to be even warmer reaching 60 degrees. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend!
Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed. Tomorrow daylight savings time ends!
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

I hope you have a great weekend!
Oops ... I almost forgot about the time change! Being retired, it doesn't have much effect on us. Love this back-story how nachos came to be. That's probably my all-time favorite snack food. The messier the better!
Happy Saturday!
