ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER  7TH, 2023

The moments of 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.

Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals

16 DAYS UNTIL FALL

In Ohio

Life is a special   

occasion!

Hallmark!

Today is Salami Day which celebrates a delicious cured sausage that has been fermented and air dried.  Countries like Italy, France, Hungary, Germany and Spain each produce their own style of salmi.  The varieties differ in the coarseness or fineness of the chopped meat as well as the side and style of the casing.

Although the exact origin is unknown , there is evidence that fermented sausage had been made in the Meditarian region for more than 2000 years.  Both the Romans and Greeks cured their meat so that the final product could be stored at room temperature for up to 10 years without going bad. 

The way in which salami is fermented has many natural health benefits. For example the final product contains lactic acid bacteria which can help maintain a healthy digestive system. To celebrate Salami day, enjoy some delicious salami on a sandwich, in a salad, or on its own.

If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY 

When you are in doubt what to eat, always go with salami as it will not disappoint you.

I don’t often have salami because it’s supposed to have a lot of salt in it, but I didn’t know it also has healthy benefits.  One of our favorite local restaurants serves a good beef sandwich with salami on it and it was one of my sister’s favorites.  It’s called a Roman Burger which contains two juicy burgers, grilled salami, an Italian lunch meat, Swiss American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion with house dressing and mayo

It is delicious and I’ve made myself this sandwich before.  I only use one burger and my oat nut bread instead of an Italian bun. Sorry I couldn't find any of my sandwich pictures to share so I'm sharing some of my favorite decorations for fall

I hope you all have a GREAT day!  Happy Thursday!

Do not make a stingy sandwich; pile the cold cuts high so you should see salami coming through the rye..
