ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 15TH, 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 Cupcake Day which have been in American Culinary icon since 19th century. Prior to cupcakes, ingredients used in baking were primarily weighed rather than measured. These delightful treats shifted the art of baking fron weighing to measuring.
For many years, cupcakes were known as one, two, three, four cakes because of the recipe: one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, 4 eggs, plus one cup of milk. and 1 spoon of baking soda. This formula is still the traditional cupcake recipe that many people use today.
The worlds largest cupcake was displayed in July of 2009 at the Covent Garden Real Food Market in London.This cupcake was about 4 feet in diameter and weighed over 330 pounds. It also contained 200 eggs and took over 50 hours to make.
To celebrate today, bake your own special cupcakes or support your local bakery and place an order.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

Cupcakes are an easy sweet treat. You don’t even need a fork to eat them and they are wrapped in paper so your fingers don’t get messy. I like them but only bake them for company. If I get hungry for them, I’ll buy some from the store
The pictures shown today were taken a few years ago when I visited my sons out of state. They were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had so I keep using the same old ones .
It is Wednesday and my day to go shopping, I also make up my grocery list by making up a new menu for next week.
On the menu for next week is:
Monday: Grandmas Swedish Meatballs
Tuesday:Easy Cauliflower Shepherds Pie
Wednesday:Sausage and Swiss Chard Pasta
Friday:Crumb Topped Sole
Weekend: Crispy Roast Chicken and Carrots
It’s been raining here this morning but I’m hoping it will stop long enough for me to get out and about and do my shopping this afternoon.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Cupcakes make me SMILE !
Cupcakes bring back a host of good memories. When Tom was going through chemo, my son sent a generous check with specific instructions -- for every milestone, I was to go buy a big decorated cupcake, stick a candle in it and present to Tom as an 'atta boy.' While not pleasant, it made the journey more bearable.
Your next week's menu has my mouth watering. Can't wait to read about the cauliflower shephard's pie.
