Tasty Tuesday

Barb's tip this week is really fascinating. I'm not an egg plant fan but maybe this tip would make the difference in how I like them!

Well, my miracle is still going on. After sending out the JoyNotes last week I went back to the pond and adjusted the valves a bit and reprimed the pump.... and though I only got a little stream from both pipes at the time - when I went out this morning for our early morning Shelley trip the waterfall was in full force. Has been going all day. Hurray.

Blessings of Peace and all Good,
Sister Patricia



Mini Retreat Theme: A Time for Miracles

Quote:

Meditation: (set your timer for ten minutes)
Practice the gift of inward silence. Take ten minutes to sit quietly - not praying - not thinking just listening and becoming aware of life about you.

If possible find a spot outside where you can hear a bit of nature - but anywhere will do.

Prayer when time is completed:

Jesus,
how much of life
going about me
I never seem to notice.
Thank you for
filling my world
with so much.
Amen.




Tasty Tip of the Week

Tasty Tip for Tuesday, June 26, 2007


Ever tried to cook an eggplant and have it be full of seeds? Did you know there is a male and female version? For once, the female version is preferred. They will have much less seeds and be tastier and easier to prepare. Here’s how to tell. Tip the eggplant upside down (the little stem part being the top) and look at the center of the base. If it is indented it is a female. This is what you want. And don’t be fooled by size, too small and they can be bitter, too big and they can be mushy. Select a nice medium sized firm eggplant with good solid deep purple color.
