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.
