Re: Nervous hello

Please forgive me if I seem obsessed. It is certainly not usually the case I would be obsessed with anything other than being honouring to God and my family.


To be honest I probably am a little overwhelmed with the new things I am learning and just these past few hours visiting your site have shown me fresh truth and that my husband is not alone in his beliefs and how he feels we should live.



I would never want to cause anyone to stumble so will continue to plough this furrow alone while being grateful to be able to read all your thoughts on a variety of Godly issues.

Re: Nervous hello

That's a good time to stop digging. Young lady, what's the real problem here? Why are you bothering the flock with repetitious questions that you could easily research yourself? Tell us more about your personal situation - are things happy at home? Say stuff that ladies like to talk about, I can't keep stepping in to help.

Thank you for your sage advice Dr. Toole, and please know I accept and take note of your chastisement.


We are navigating some changes at home while also raising a teenage boy and two pre-teen girls.


As my husband has taken much more seriously his role as the head of our house, I have found it to be a struggle, but also that I am thriving in the new dynamic. A wise lady suggested it was better late than never and I agree with her.


We are very happy and hope and pray that this will increase as we bring our home more in line with his teaching.


I am particularly enjoying baking and am teaching our two girls this skill, I am also finding great satisfaction in doing more cleaning and more housework finding it very affirming.

Re: Nervous hello

That is terribly good to hear. Family and all that good stuff. Well, good chat, hope to see you mingling in with the ladies.

Re: Nervous hello

I found Jesus through Sunday School as a child. Though it feels like I have learned more this last few months about what it means to be a Christian woman than in my other years of life combined. It is probably an obvious one but my favourite verse was always John 3:16.

Hello, welcome to Landover. There is every piece of good information we need in The Bible. Sometimes people claim they have a private revelation and I'm not saying that's impossible but whatever's revealed, assuming it comes from God, will not contradict what He's already explained.

The idea is not to deviate away from the narrow path described by Jesus. In this, we're assured, we will be assisted and—where necessary—comforted by The Holy Spirit active in the world today.

I Timothy 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Such an encouraging sentence. Do you have any good recipes?

THank you for your encouragement it is gratefully received.


I have many recipes though I am learning to focus on those favoured by my husband and son.


My son is particularly fond of a lemon drizzle cake that his friends mom makes. For a long tome i resisted his requests to get this recipe and learn to make it. I am feeling led to repent of this and intend to learn this recipe and add it to my list.


I wonder if the is a forum here for the ladies to mentor one another in Godly living, or if it is just spread throughout the forums?

.some blue jelly
.stale cake, diced
.custard

.assorted fruit to taste, diced
.crystallised rose petals
.hundreds & thousands (blue) (optional)

. Place cake into a bowl
. Add the vodka
. Add the fruit, jelly and custard
. Top with whipped cream

Otherwise, in an appropriate context, we discussed icing patterns a little while ago. You can pick up that thread here:

Thank you so much for that, I am going to ask if I may have the lemon drizzle recipe later and will post that here, hope I can make it as well as she can.


I am cooking for my husband and some of his friends at the weekend, would it be ok if I did your trifle for dessert?

[MitzaLizalor]

Re: Nervous hello

Oh, yes - of course. It may be that your owner would like less pink. There is an aniseed variant using aniseed (black) absinthe which is nice with vanilla ice cream. Perhaps in this weather crème fraîche would be better but I've never tried it and don't think it would go very well with aniseed.

If you can find caraway vodka, that would be nice perhaps decorated with a small amount of dried chilli. This might sound odd, it is delicious though, make the base as a blue cheese cheesecake and build it up from there with cream and berry pulp, you can even top it off with thick sweet vinegar. But if he's OK with the pink, serve it just as it is.

ALTERNATIVE IF HE DOESN'T LIKE PINK

1. BLUE CHEESE CHEESECAKE AS THE BASE


2. BERRY-THEMED LAYER

this was the best graphic I found at short notice (or
use berry pulp / black cherries) & for a single serve
pack some cheesecake underneath it first - in bowl.

3. BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA

As this is not my place I will stay low on the pasta recipes for a bit. You mentioned the citrus tastes for a bit. And I am pretty sure the people you are cooking for like their red meats. Maybe this can give you some inspiration? It seems pretty easy and besides the tasters not approving the citrus taste it looks pretty good:

Thank you so much Sir. That looks amazing, I love the idea of doing steak for them but not sure if my budget will stretch.

Definitely tempted to that sort of route but may struggle to get that pepper over here.

Budget is an issue here too. Getting the ingredients like pepper is not. What ingredients do you miss? Maybe this forum can help out.


With a bit of luck the ladies over here will allow me to post a pasta recipe.Those recipes are in general well received and not that expensive.

Re: Nervous hello

Still getting used to being given a budget to work with at all lol, everyday is a school day.

Something pasta based had been my first thought, but that steak looked so good and i am sure it would please the men and their sons.
