THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we never choose and that is the path of surender, or submission
John P, Kennedy
As my Dad and several of my uncles served in WWII, I know a lot about the history of this war. My Dad was on the European side of the war and lived to come home, but one of my uncles served in the Pacific and didn’t make it back home.
No matter what, war is never good. So much was destroyed and too many lost their lives. So I will celebrate today and hope that we never see a World War again.
It’s my day to cook something new to eat here and on the menu is:
Fish and Fries
Makes 4 servings
2 potatoes
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. pepper
Fish:
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 egg
2 Tbsp. water
2/3 cup crushed cornflakes
1Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 lb. haddock or cod fillets
Tartar sauce, optional
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices. Cut slices into 1/2 inch sticks.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil and pepper. Transfer to a baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered until gold brown and crisp, stirring once.
Meanwhile in a shallow bowl, mix flour and pepper. In another bowl, whisk egg with water. In a third bowl, toss with cornflakes with cheese and cayenne. Dip fish in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg mixture then in cornflake mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until it begins to flake easily. Serve with potatoes and if desired serve with tartar sauce.
It’s to be a warmer day here today, but still pleasant. They say the weekend will be hotter and more humid too.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday !
There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,576. for the end to war
10,577. for peace in our land
10,578. for a pleasant day
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I will never forget and always remember all this who gave their lives for our freedom.
My father and his brother also served in WWII, and thankfully made it home safely. Thereafter, he never let us forget the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy.
