ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY,JANUARY 14TH, 2022
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.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is National Strawberry Ice Cream Day which celebrates the worlds third most popular ice cream flavor.
Ice Cream evolved from ancient flavored ices. As early as 3000 BC, people in China served their guests sweet juice mixed with ice or snow.
Today ice cream is made with a mixture of milk, sugar, and eggs. While fruity varieties of ice cram flavors are still popular, vanilla and chocolate are the favorites.
Dolly Midison served strawberry ice cream at President Madison’s second Inaugural Ball in 1813.
To celebrate treat yourself to a delicious bowl or two today !
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is like an ice cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
Charles M. Schultz
While I don’t have Strawberry Ice Cream today I can mix up my own by using vanilla ice cream and some strawberry jam. Jam makes a very good topping on ice cream.
I always keep vanilla on hand so that way I can make what ever flavor I’m hungry for. I just add a different topping.
Today is a day to cook something new at my house and on the menu today is:
Delightful Tuna Casserole
Makes 5 servings
7 oz. elbow macaroni
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 can water packed tuna, drained and flaked
2 tbsp. diced pimentos
3 tsp. dried minced onion
1 tsp. ground mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup crushed cornflakes
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the soup, mushrooms, cheese, milk, tuna, pimentos, onion, mustard and salt. Drain macaroni, add to tuna mixture and mix well.
Transfer to a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
One serving is 1 1/4 cups. I don’t have any pimento today, so will skip that ingredient. It should still be very good This is one of my favorite comfort food casseroles. It’s delightful!
And of course I’ll be having some strawberry ice cream for dessert!
While I don’t have and ice cream pictures today, I do have some of strawberries and ice cream. They are so very good and good for us!
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!!
