Fun Summer Recipe

                                                     
 
I found this recipe and tried on some innocent friends.  The consciences was that it was yummy and fun.  It was enough for 10 people.  I have even heard that it is fun to put newspaper down on a water proof table and just dump it on the paper to serve.  I did not have my camera but next time I make it I'll get a picture.

Frogmore Stew

2 medium onions, quartered from stem to root
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Salt
1 lemon, halved
2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed
2 pounds kielbasa, cut into 16 pieces
8 ears corn, husked and broken in half
2 pounds (21 to 25 count) shrimp, unpeeled (use wild shrimp, if possible)

Lemon wedges and melted butter, to serve

Pour 3 quarts of water into a large, heavy-duty roasting pan set over two burners or into a large kettle, such as a lobster or crab pot. Add onions, garlic, seafood seasoning (yes, 1/2 cup is the correct amount) and salt to taste. Squeeze lemon juice into the stock, then toss lemon halves into the pan or pot.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and kielbasa; return to a boil. Cover pan with foil or partially cover pot with lid. Reduce heat and simmer, cooking until potatoes are just tender, 20 minutes.

Add corn; increase heat to medium-high and cook, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir shrimp into hot broth; let stand, covered, until they are just cooked, about 2 minutes longer.

Serve seafood, sausage and veggies on one or two large platters, with lemon wedges and small bowls of melted butter for dipping.

What About Bob

                                                                                IMG_1301
 I heard from Bob today and he is having an amazing time in Bulgaria.  I am so thankful he got to go on this trip but I do want him to come home!!  He has been missed.  I have some little surprises for him when he gets home- like a new lounge chair for the patio and a R O unit in the kitchen.  I wanted to do more but I have been busy almost everyday and most of the evenings.  Thank you everyone for keeping me company.  I also want to thank my blog friends for keeping me busy with reading your blogs- they kept me company at night.

People who want to share the love of God -even when they are in pain and have only a few months left on this earth.

What are you thankful for?

4th of July 2008

What an awesome day.  After all the flyers were passed out, posters put up, decorations went up, 200 balloons were inflated, PA system was put in place, goodies and drinks put  on the tablet, 150 plus people showed up, The National Anthem was played, it was time to start the parade! Every year gets sweeter. I am so thankful for everyone that helps with all the preparations and all the friends and families that show up each year. Check out some the pictures and if you did not come this year please join us next year- July 4th @9:45 am!

BOB IS HEADING TO BULGARIA

                                                   IMG_1262

In less than two weeks Bob is heading to minister to the Gypsies in Bulgaria with two other men from Revolution Church.  Bob, along with Rex and Ritchie, will be leading a pastor's conference and then going onto the villages to help meet the needs of the people there. God truly has blessed Bob with more than enough funds for the trip so any extra money will be used to help meet the needs of the people who truly are hurting. He will be there from July 12 to the 26th.  It is an exciting opportunity - could you please pray for them- THANKS!
