Learning the jargon
I’m learning all sorts of new things as I make this blog. One thing I know – that without God’s Spirit I would be sinking!
Just as an example, if you are reading on a desktop, there’s a right hand column called ABOUT. I tried and tried to edit this so I could add a few words about who I am. Just in case anyone I don’t know drops in to read the blog.
The good news is, after much effort, I emailed WordPress. They were very helpful and very quickly replied. Apparently it’s a widget! So, in a moment or two I will try to get a new widget in place. The old one is obsolete, so I’m told!
Down in the Galley
As I said at the beginning, I love baking. It’s both creative and satisfying! I have some very old books of recipes. The old ones are unsophisticated and light on ingredients – I don’t mean light in calories.
Oat + cookies I had half an egg mixed with a tbsp of milk left over from the other day, so I decided to add it in to this recipe, but you could just omit that if you want to. About 12 cookies from this recipe. I'm using grams this time. Ingredients 40g of soft marge or butter 40g of caster sugar 30 mls of golden syrup (2 tbspns) 50g porridge oats 40g SR flour Ground nutmeg or spice 25- 40g raisins or sultanas or choc chips Method Beat the first 3 ingredients together until smooth. (Add egg/milk if you want to) Stir in oats, flour, spice and fruit (or choc chips) Grease baking sheets well or line with parchment (preferable as these cookies stick!) Place small balls of mix on sheets spacing well apart. Flatten slightly. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180C or 350F (check after 10... They should colour a bit) Remove cookies carefully from sheets after letting them cool and set briefly. I used a flat blade to get them off!
Feeling the breeze
This has been another blessed day. At lunchtimes, 3 days a week, we have a small worship & praise half hour on Zoom. My husband Roger plays the guitar and we both sing and lead those who join us in this worship. I am always amazed at the reality of the Lord’s Presence as we offer Him this time and our hearts and voices. Even on Zoom!
That’s the breeze of His Spirit, blowing through our lives and touching us with His love and goodness. May you be blessed today as you enjoy His Presence. And if you’re reading this and don’t know the Lord of life, and want to, please get in touch: kate@poems-and-reflections.com
