ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY DECEMBER 2ND, 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 Fritters Day which celebrates delicious fried cakes filled with fruit or meat. They can be served as snack, side dish, dessert or even the main course.
There is not actually much difference between a pancake and a fitter batter. They are both made with the same ingredients. It is only once fruit or meat is dipped into the batter and then fried that it comes a fritter.
The first historical record of the fritter dates back to 1865. Samuel Pepys, an Englishman who served as a Member of Parliament during the English Reformations period, noted in his diary that he would be enjoying some fritters before Lent.
To celebrate today, try making your own tasty fritters to enjoy.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Little critters fried like fritters come out crunchy and divine.
Gregory Maquire
I love apple fritters and tried to make my own. They were not as big as the ones I purchase in the store, but they were very tasty and good. That is what my pictures are of today.
There are all kinds of fritters, another of my favorites are corn fritters. One of my friends in high school, mother made them for breakfast when I ‘d visit and they become a favorite of mine to this day.
I do have some leftovers to enjoy today, but I’ll make sure to have an apple fritter for my dessert. Yum!
Yesterday I got out and got my hair cut. DD picked me up so we were able to spend some time together. Today I’m going to get my grocery shopping done. We’ve been blessed with a break in our winter weather and it’s to be around 50 degrees for a high today, but then it will be turning colder once more and we may see more rain or snow coming our way.
I’ve already stocked up for the winter, so I’m prepared!
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Snack rules is that if it contains fruit it is a health food so go ahead tell yourself that and eat a whole bunch.

Homemade is always better !
I totally forgot about corn fritters; and honestly, can't remember where or when I had them. Glad you were able to get out while the weather was nice. After a c-c-cold week, we're having 70*-plus afternoons. On the bright side, at least our heating bill should be more reasonable.
I’m always impressed with your meals! We could use some of your winter weather! We haven’t even had a frost yet! 70’s.....I had the attic fan on yesterday!
