YESHUA = EVERYTHING~Shabbat Eve; Castle Rock-WA

I willingly walk beside the man Elohim chose for me (and 1st husband, too, when he walked Earth with me) & I willingly share space with him … BUT, there is only ONE that I 100% "answer to".

I don't apologize for this independent mindset.

Bob "got it".

Holland is coming around to understanding it.

(a) There isn't a single man on Earth I feel compelled to answer to. For anything (b) All the positions have been filled by the One - Yeshua, the only "One" - I seek for wisdom and direction 😉

He's always on call … and quick to come alongside me.

He never lies, cheats, or steals.

I know I can count on Him to "come through"; there isn't a single place in my life that His presence does not fill 😁

A BLUESY JOE~Very Relatable

I'm just fooling around, trying to figure out how to upload vid's to my Blog posts … and I saw this song pop up, by Joe Cocker: I like Joe's music - I like this song: but the 2 aren't normally seen, or heard, together. I have heard this song many times sung by The Animals; but I LIKE THIS VERSION.

Very calm.

Very bluesy - LOVE the intro & organ (MISS the organ sound)

Very relatable.

 

 

VAL'S SPIRITED 4PATRIOTS BEEF STROGANOFF Recipe; Castle Rock-WA

Val's Spirited 4Patriots Beef Stroganoff

The cooler days of Fall 🧣🍁 beg for heartier supper fare - beef stroganoff seemed to be the best choice for tonight's meal 🥩🍲

I like flavoring my meals with aromatic spices 👩‍🍳🍃; so, today, I pulled my little bottle of Juniper Berries from the spice cupboard; juniper berries are not traditionally used in beef stroganoff, but they will give the bland sauce a lively depth with the berries unique flavoring. Juniper berries can best be described as a pungent pine-like aroma, with a sharp tangy citrus flavor - some people may not like that combination … but, I do. Especially in the Fall 🌳🍂 

I also like to add a touch of whiskey to my Fall & Winter stews: the days are cold & dreary in the PNW & the rainfall can be unpleasantly biting when blown in off the river -  the pungent cinnamon aroma/flavor of the whiskey are a pleasant & welcome bite. For those concerned about alcohol usage … alcohol dissipates during cooking, leaving only the flavor behind.

And I pre-prep ingredients, hours before cooking commences: I spend less time standing in the kitchen, cooking flows smoothly, and splitting the dish washing cycles between early prep and later cooking - means there is no dish drainer jenga going on following the meal (there are still dishes to wash - but less of them - which is a plus for RV living). Also pre-prep allows for spontaneity if we want to enjoy an out-of-house hour or two 🚘, that supper prep would normally hog up: the time consuming work has already been done, and cooking is a snap when we get back home.

I like spending spontaneous time with my husband 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

I like cooking for my husband‍ ⏲️🍽️❤️

Pre-prep and experimentation with recipes 👩‍🍳‍, works for me … and is a 👍 for both of us 😁

NOTE: If you want to pre-prep ingredients too, read the recipe 1st, so you know ingredient amounts to prep:

a) Prepare beef; thaw slightly & break apart, if frozen (frozen slices better) - I chose to slice in thin strips; refrigerate until needed.

Thaw slightly & separate.

Dice, cube, or slice into thin strips; I sliced my pieces on the diagonal - just to be different.

b) Place chunked veggies & garlic cloves, in the manual-pull food chopper & process as you desire - I like my veggies minced fine; set aside.

Process as you desire; I like minced fine.

c) Using a medium-size mesh strainer over a bowl, I prefer to separate the pre-packaged noodles from the dry sauce mix - I find this way make for a smoother blending of the sauce into the mixture; set aside.

I also add the mushroom powder, paprika & brown sugar, to the dry sauce mix & stir to blend thoroughly; set aside.

d) Crush the Juniper Berries & place in the tea ball with a pinched tip of a sprig of rosemary; close & set aside.

e) Place the lemon juice in 1 Jigger Cup … and the whiskey, in another Jigger Cup; cover with plastic wrap & set aside.

f) Measure margarine, place on a saucer (I use a recycled plastic top from a cake icing container; saved for this particular purpose) - cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate until needed.

VAL'S 4PATRIOTS CHIX-RICE-VEG HODGEPODGE SUPPER Recipe; Castle Rock-WA

Val's 4Patriots Chix-Rice-Veg Hodgepodge Supper

Every time I use one of the 4Patriots packaged meals, I like to do it differently than last time; so, that's what I did tonight 😊

As usual, I started with a halved packet (there's just 2 of us, that's all we need) added a chicken breast & basic veggies, but … I also added cabbage, dates, mushroom powder, & Brewer's yeast; for flavor, and blood strengthening minerals. Brewer's yeast has a slightly bitter, nutty flavor -  while mushroom powder leans towards earthy. Balanced with herbs, or acidic ingredients (like cabbage) both flavors add depth to the sensory sauce, and are agreeable to the taste buds.

The house smelled wonderful while supper cooked, & we both liked the results: I hope you will, too.

NOTE: I like to prepare my ingredients before actual cooking commences 👩‍🍳‍, so time in the kitchen is short ⏲️ & cooking flows smoothly 🥘 - if you do this too, read the recipe 1st, so you know ingredient amounts to prep:

a) With a smallish mesh strainer, separate the dry sauce mix from the rice blend; set aside.

Use a mesh colander, separate the dry sauce mix from the rice. 

b) Place the chopped veggies into the Manual-Pull Food Chopper, & mince the veggies - coleslaw sized; set aside.

Place the chopped veggies into the Manual-Pull Food Chopper.

c) Slice a cabbage wedge & dice large; place into Manual-Pull Food Chopper, & mince coleslaw sized:

Place into Manual-Pull Food Chopper, & mince.

Add to minced veggies medley & stir to incorporate evenly …

d) With regular scissors, cut 10 Dried Smyrna Figs in half; set aside.

e) With kitchen scissors, cut the chicken breast into 2 long pieces - then slice each long piece into 2 pieces: cut each of the 4 pieces into 4 strips & cut diagonally across each strip to make bite-size ovals: set aside.
