[OPEN] Covered-dish Dinner

[wvmtnkid]

Carmel Apple tart! :yum:

I am in the mood for Mexican now. :D Here's a Taco casserole with some burritos and nachos with salsa and cheese on the side.

Boy, just the thoughts of that made me hungry! Good thing it's really close to lunch time! :)

[LuxPerpetua]

I must say, you Methodists eat better than we do in the Lutheran forum. They keep wanting to feed me salted fish and saurkraut! :P

The caramel apple tart sounds scrumptious! :yum: And don't get me started on Mexican!! Mexican is my favorite food of all time! (Well . . . other than communion, of course, but I digress ;) ).

Can someone come and cook dinner at my house tonight? Taco casserole would just hit the spot, I think. :)

[dsdumpling]

Hey LP, glad you could make it :hug: You hang around over here, guaranteed 15 extra pounds.

[LuxPerpetua]

... 15 pounds easily, I think. Thanks for the invitation. :)

[wvmtnkid]

Hi LuxPerpetua! Glad to have you join us. :clap: I was beginning to think my Mexican food was scaring everyone away! :P

[LuxPerpetua]

Hi LuxPerpetua! Glad to have you join us. :clap: I was beginning to think my Mexican food was scaring everyone away! :P

:wave:

The aroma just finally wafted into the Lutheran forum. ;) I can't resist a good Mexican dish. I'm a sucker for salsa every time, too. :yum:

[Celticflower]

Hey LP, glad you could make it :hug: You hang around over here, guaranteed 15 extra pounds.
But it is only in the virtual world that you gain the weight. Turn of the puter and you slim back down. :D

That's a relief to know! :)

Jumps in with a corn casserole. Hi everyone :D

[bigsierra]

Jumps in with a corn casserole. Hi everyone :D

:wave: Hi Gwynne. Welcome to Christian Forums.

*bigsierra dips out some corn casserole*

[dsdumpling]

Hey Gwynne, welcome :wave:

[wvmtnkid]

:wave: Hi Gywnne! Thanks for the corn casserole! :yum:

[Gwynne]

Hi wvmtnkid! Corn casserole is my grandmother's recipe :D I learned how to make it while she was pastoring two churches. She didn't have the time to make it for family get togethers so it went to me!

[wvmtnkid]

Some of the best recipes are ones that come from grandma's! :D

[Gwynne]

And it's great because my grandma lives in my backyard :D

[wvmtnkid]

Oh man....I need some coffee this morning.....

/me puts on a pot of coffee and stumbles over to a chair to wait, impatiently, until it is ready.....

[bigsierra]

YaY, It's officially Fall.

May I join you in a cup of coffee? It tastes even better than normal this time of year.

[wvmtnkid]

Of course you may. Company always makes a cup of coffee taste better!

[Celticflower]

Coffee?????? ***holds out big mug****
Do we have any donuts?
Never mind, I'll go whip up some muffins.

Celtie

[Gwynne]

Hmmm.... I don't drink coffee, pepsi is my drink of choice, but if you don't mind I'll join you for donuts!

[wvmtnkid]

Happy Friday all!

Anyone have any exciting weekend plans? I know one of us is getting ready for a pretty exciting trip!!!!!

[Gwynne]

We're kicking off a 40 Days of Purpose campaign at my church and I'm small group leader :D That pretty much covers my weekends, and weedays, for the next 40 days!

And I'm doing my membership affirmation on Oct. 10 to officially become a member of my church!

[wvmtnkid]

Sounds cool Gwynne! :clap: And congrats about becoming a member at your church.

We talked about doing the 40 days of Purpose. We did 1 small group last year and wanted to do it with many small groups this fall, but for some reason, it was never followed through on. I guess too many other things going on. I hope it goes well for you.

[Celticflower]

We did the 40 Days of Purpose thing at our church this spring. Personally, I didn't get a whole lot out of it. It was all stuff I had known about or doing on one level or another already. And I think they did it backwards--showed the video for the coming weeks readings instead of what you had just finished reading. Would have made for better discussions and allowed questions bruoght up by the reading to be voiced.


Does that mean I'd already found my purpose? :P


*****sets down warm pumpkin pie and whipped cream :yum: *****


Celtie


PS:--as for what I'm doing this weekend---I'm trying to crochet an afghan out of 2 shades of mauve, in 35 7inch squares. Personnally I think it is ugly, but it is not for me. It is a pattern I am testing for a publishing company, so I just keep telling myself "you don't have to like it, you're getting paid!" ^_^

[Theofilus]

Happy Friday all!

This is my last weekend at my job, before the layoff goes into effect. I've worked Sat-Wed for the past 7 years. It will be odd having weekends back.

[dsdumpling]

Thanks bigsierra. I'll be posting some pics in my journal during my trip.

[AngelAmidala]

I wish I had exciting weekend plans.
Or someone to see. :(

[dsdumpling]

This is my last weekend at my job, before the layoff goes into effect. I've worked Sat-Wed for the past 7 years. It will be odd having weekends back.
I hope your layoff doesn't last too long. :prayer:

[dsdumpling]

/me brings in hot homemade macaroni and cheese for Jenn. This is one of my comfort foods, hope it's yours too. :hug:

[bigsierra]

I hope your layoff doesn't last too long. :prayer:

Thanks. :) It's shouldn't be bad. It's permanent. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of job I really want to do.

[Celticflower]

I wish I had exciting weekend plans.

You could come see me--I'll introduce you to my hubby and kids, 2 cats, a beagle and a bloodhound. The bloodhound may even play hide and seek with you--but you'd have to do the hiding. :P Then we could show you the race track, the Birth Place of Country Music Museum and the International Storytellers Center.

Celtie

[wvmtnkid]

Can you tell I'm excited? :clap:
You're excited? I would have never have known! ;) Hope you have a wonderful (and safe!) trip! Take good care of her Theo!

[wvmtnkid]

I wish I had exciting weekend plans.
Or someone to see. :(
Me too. :sigh: May I join you with a dish of ds's homemade mac and cheese?? That way we can wish together. Surely wishing is more fun with two than just by ourselves!

[wvmtnkid]

Thanks. :) It's shouldn't be bad. It's permanent. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of job I really want to do.
Praying for you too bigsierra! :prayer:

[dsdumpling]

Thank you dear. :hug:

[Theofilus]

You're excited? I would have never have known! ;) Hope you have a wonderful (and safe!) trip! Take good care of her Theo!

I'll be taking good care of her while she's here. We'll be going to the Blue lagoon and other places. I'm going to make sure she has a wonderful time.

[Celticflower]

I'll be taking good care of her while she's here. We'll be going to the Blue lagoon and other places. I'm going to make sure she has a wonderful time.
There is really a place called Blue Lagoon??? I thought that was just in the dippy Brooke Shields movie. ;)
Have fun you guys--but no skinny dipping in the lagoon!:P

Celtie
LOL...watch out or I'll take the beagle back with me. :D I love beagles. :)

As for comfort foods...mac & cheese is one of mine. Mashed potatos is another. And beef fried rice is another. :D I got lots. Must be why I look the way I do. ;)

[kelco]

Mac & cheese is one of my favorites too, along with biscuts and hamburger gravy, fried pork chops and saurkraut and wienies. Oh and a big glass of sweet iced tea. That's definatly why I look like I do!:D

[bigsierra]

Mashed potatos are the best with good gravy. They are the reason I will never be Atikins follower.

Thanks for all your prayers.

[wvmtnkid]

Morning! Well, while we are into comfort foods, here's some biscuits and sausage gravy....

[Celticflower]

My husband made waffles (ya have to say it like Donkey <g>).


As for comfort foods--I'm in the potato crowd, esp potato soup!:yum:

Celtie

[bigsierra]

Thanks for the biscuits. They're awesome.

Potato soup is great. If there isn't any to be had clam chowder with lots of potatos is good.

[bigsierra]

*looks around to see who all else is here*

:wave:

[wvmtnkid]

Yum, potato soup and clam chowder both sound good to me! Especially cheesy baked potato soup! It's getting to be soup weather....

[AngelAmidala]

Any food at this point would be good for me.

I'm starving! :D

[wvmtnkid]

Well, it's Friday again! :clap: Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Anyone into hometown high school football games? My sister is a band director and I was informed last night that I had to go her band's performance tonight at the home game! :D That's ok, WV University's band is playing at half time, so that will be an extra bonus!

[Celticflower]

This week end I plan to finish up a two-toned mauve afghan (not colors I would have chosen:sick: ). Lucky for me I don't have to like it--it is a pattern I am testing prior to publication. The good part is I get PAID!!! :thumbsup: So I can put up with the ugly colors for a couple of more days, then get back to the prettier thread and yarn project on my "do before Christmas" list.


BTW--I have an appointment Friday the 8th about my back/nerve/leg problem. Hoping pain meds is all I really need at the moment.

Celtie

[dsdumpling]

/me brings in dried haddock and some margarine.

You tear off a piece of fish and drag it through the margarine and eat it...good stuff.

Hey folks...I'm back :wave: had a great trip!!

[Celticflower]

Sorry, too early for me to think about fish.

Welcome back!

Celtie

[Gwynne]

Pops in with some applesauce bread, fresh-baked with my new breadmaker :D

Hi all!

[Celticflower]

OOOOhhh applesauce and warm bread!!

Is there any cinnamon?

Celtie

[Gwynne]

OOOOhhh applesauce and warm bread!!

Is there any cinnamon?

Celtie

Yup there sure is!

[wvmtnkid]

Welcome back DS! Glad to hear you had a great trip.

/me sets down some fresh bagels and cream cheese from New York....

[Theofilus]

*Theo brings some dried fish for everybody to try.*

[dsdumpling]

Ok, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not much of a hot dog fan...until I went to Iceland. They have the best hot dogs. They are made with beef, sheep and pork, they put ketchup, brown mustard, dried fried onions, raw onions and remolade (rich mayonnaise) on them. Oh my!!

/me brings in a load of hot dogs for everyone to try.

[Theofilus]

*Theo downs a couple of hot dogs*

These are good. :yum:

[bigsierra]

*Bigsierra douses hot dog with mustard and saurkraut*

[Celticflower]

*****sets down big plate of peanut butter kiss cookies and a large pitcher of milk*****


Finally found a doc willing to do something about my back/leg problem other than dismissing it as a potassium imbalance. Turns out that sometime 4-6 years ago I ruptured a disc in my back and never knew it, and that is what is putting pressure on the nerve from time to time. So now I am on an anti-inflammatory twice a day and a muscle relaxer 1-3 times a day (as needed) and feel MUCH better!! I actually went for a 2mile+ walk yesterday without so much as a twinge. Yup, I'm a happy camper now! :D

Celtie

[bigsierra]

WoW that's awesome, Celtie. :clap: Praise God

It's scary to think about doctors not wanting to put out the effort to really do their jobs.

Mmmm cookies. Me love cookies.

[wvmtnkid]

That's great news Celtie! I am sure it is great to do things you want to do without being in so much pain! :clap:

/me pours a large glass of milk and helps herself to some cookies (if bigsierra hasn't eaten them all!)

[bigsierra]

hehe, I left a few

*sits out a bag of ChiliCheese Fritos*

[Celticflower]

hehe, I left a few


Eat all you want, I'll make more. Have to keep my own cookie jar filled for the 3 cookie monsters I live with. :P

Celtie

[TCapp]

Sorry I haven't been around lately. :sorry:

*shoves great big casserole dish full of Thanksgiving candied yams in front of everyone, in contriteness....

Dig in! See those marshmallows are slightly toasted. There's also a bit of pineapple and peaches in there. Yummy yummy

[Celticflower]

Welcome back TCapp!!!

Have a cookie :yum:

Celtie

[wvmtnkid]

:hug: TCapp

Glad to see you!

[TCapp]

mmmmmm...... cookies....... :yum:

[wvmtnkid]

I was in the country today and went to a little bakery run by some Mennonites. I brought back some fresh baked goodies for everyone!

/me sits down some apple and cherry pies along with a carrot cake and some fresh apple cider....

I'll have a slice of carrot cake and some cider.

It sure is fall up here. It was a wild weather day today. We had sun, rain. thunder, sleet and snow all within 4 hours!

[wvmtnkid]

Oh my! I was in sun and rain today, no sleet and snow. But you are at higher elevation then me. You guys always get the bad weather where you are! I hope none of the snow amounted to much, did it?

[TCapp]

GCapp and I spent part of the afternoon getting the plastic on our windows. For those who don't know: it's a thin layer of plastic film one puts over windows in the hope of better insulation against cold. Getting the ones over the kitchen sink is a real pain. :doh:

We're halfway done and maybe we can get the rest of them done tomorrow after church and lunch. My favorite part is using the blow dryer on 'em to get those sheets nice and tight. ^_^

[kelco]

Oh my! I was in sun and rain today, no sleet and snow. But you are at higher elevation then me. You guys always get the bad weather where you are! I hope none of the snow amounted to much, did it?
No it was just big wet flakes mixed in with the rain. I guess it just kinda blowed me away because snow is my least favorite thing. One minute it was thundering and the next here comes the snow! It was really weird.:eek:

[wvmtnkid]

Wow TCapp, how cold is it getting up your way?

kelco-you guys can keep the snow up your way for awhile, I am not ready for it just yet!

[TCapp]

'tis -3°C or 27°F right now....

[Celticflower]

All this cold weather talk....it was 32 yesterday when I got up. Good thing hubby had the fire going. We don't want to turn on the heater until we really have to, propane is getting toooooo expensive.


Anyone for hot cocoa???

Celtie

[kelco]

kelco-you guys can keep the snow up your way for awhile, I am not ready for it just yet!
What and not share all the shoveling, cleaning off car, slippery road fun with my friends? Never. I just cannot bear the thought of being that selfish! :P

[bigsierra]

I hate the idea of snow already.

[Celticflower]

Welcome Celine! The cake sounds wonderful!


But since we seem to be overbalanced on desert lately-----


******sets down pot roast, carrots, potatoes and dinner rolls*******

Celtie

[TCapp]

It got down to -16°C (3.2°F) last night. :eek: Brrr! :( It's only going to get up to 0°C today, and it's windy. :|

:sigh:

* goes to get a great big vat of chicken noodle soup for everyone.

[CelineDion]

* Gets cocoa* This is marvelous. Im glad to be here. So what shall we chat about?

[jenelis]

Hi there all! This is Jennifer-- its been a while since I've been here. I've brought along an entire Thanksgiving dinner-- with all the trimmings to show my thanks (just a tad bit early). I'm in Central Florida and have a LOT to be thankful for having weathered the storms that have been tossed our way.

I'm here to catch up on the faith I've been growing as a rather newbie to the Church of the Nazarene and I must say that I really feel like I've found an prganized belief that is in line with what I've always believed-- although I was raised as a Catholic.

Any cocoa left?

[ChrisLockhart]

*brings spinach lasagna*

Hello everyone! How is everybody doing?

[CarrMommaVa]

Ok, Ill post...my name ia Anna, but most of my friends call me Kathy (I use my middle name a lot) I was raised Methodist in NE Ohio, but left the church in 97 b/c of some persoanl issues with another member. I have just recently rejoined the church, and attend a small (78 members attending last Sunday) UMC near my home. I think all but 6 of the congregation are over the age of 60, so being 24 I feel slightly out of the loop at times, even thought the pastor is close to me in age as is his wife. I"d like to talk to some other women close to myself in age, whose kids are close to my daughters ages. I feel that I was led to start attending my church, but where I am to go here, I'm not clear.

[frocks]

i'm just here for the food. a wonderful lady in my church always makes the 'green stuff' for every church supper. it's some kind of pudding, nuts, marshmellows and good. and of course it is green. oh and pineapple too.

frank

[bigsierra]

WoW, lots of folks I haven't seen in here before
Hello Frank, Kathy, Chris, and Jennifer. :wave: Welcome to Christian Forums.

frocks: I like that green stuff too.

*Bigsierra sits a large pot of potato soup on the counter*

[Celticflower]

**stumbling in looking for coffee**

Just taking a break from my hooks. In the last 16 hours I've made a hat and scarf set and a rosary. I have a pouch for the rosary about half done. (It is a gift for a Catholic friend of mine). Looks like I just might get all the Christmas gifts done on time this year! ;)


Hmmmm...looks like it is time to refill the cookie jar.

***fills jar with pumpkin/white chocolate chip cookies***

Celtie

[CelineDion]

Hi everybody!!! I brought some fudge *puts down a large tub of fudge* And to go with it Ben and Jerrys vanilla ice cream...so what ru up to today

[wvmtnkid]

Hi everyone! Especially the new folks! :wave: Looks like we have some good food on the table. :yum:

Your hands must be getting tired Celtie!

So, does your church do something as a halloween alternative? Question of the day.....

[Celticflower]

****Looks over nearly empty tables, clears away old yucky stuff, tosses paper plates in trash----exits
**** returns with 6 pizzas, a case of Coke, a pan of brownies and a banana cream pie****


Come and get it!!!!!

[ChrisLockhart]

I've never had a banana cream pie before. It sounds good.

[SandyLou]

Thanks Celtie!
I think I'll start with :yum: http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/food20.gif

Chris, save me a lil of that banana cream pie, please?
You OBVIOUSLY didn't grow up in the south where it's a staple *giggle*

yummmmmmmmm. . . . .thanks again for the pizza!

[wvmtnkid]

Hey everyone! Since Thanksgiving is coming up, let's have a Wesley's Parish Thanksgiving Pot-Luck. What do you say? Everybody come and bring your favorite Thanksgiving dish and share in a meal of thanksgiving and gratitude! Maybe if we talk really nice, we can con, ah, um, I mean convince WesleyJohn into bringing the turkey! :yum: :D

[Celticflower]

Great idea!! I'll bring the pumpkin pie and my Mom's jello salad.


Celtie

[CelineDion]

Goodmorning Freinds!!! *hugs everyone* I just wanted to drop by and say The Cappucino Lounge is opened!!! IF youd like to stop by for a sec plus Im taking applications for a partner to help me run the place ( Go to the friendship court)

I love you and brought a Red Velvet Cake to leave here...enjoy!!!

[ChrisLockhart]

mmm.. cappaccino. coffee.. mmm ..mmm

I'm not supposed to drink coffee anymore. I sure did love it.

[bigsierra]

*crushes cranberries for the cranberry sause*

It's going to be tart this year. :)

Happy Thanksgiving :wave:

Oh yeah :eek:

*****sets down a LARGE pot of turkey vegatable soup******



Hey gang,
It's been a bit of a blah weekend for me. Yesterday I had an eye exam and the dilation left me functionally blind for the rest of the day. That meant no crocheting, no TV, no reading and <gasp> no computer!!!
The good news is-there is nothing wrong with the eyes other than my nearsightedness.:)
The bad news is my new glasses won't be ready for a week.:(

Oh well, I can wait. And now that I can see again I'm going back to work on the CareBear for my niece (she's 2). Enjoy the soup!

Celtie

[Gwynne]

Hi all! Been awhile since I've been around much. Holidays are a hectic time of year, as well as being thrust into a leadership position at church in a bit of an unexpected way has taken up a lot of time....

So I'm dropping in with a rhubarb pie!

[ChrisLockhart]

congratulations on the position, just the same. And I would love some rhubarb pie.

[bigsierra]

Happy Advent Season.

Mmm, Great soup and pie. :)

[wvmtnkid]

/me stumbles into the room, starved to death.....

Hello! (hello....hello....hello.....) *echo effect

I can't believe we have went this long without eating! What is wrong with us?!?!

[AngelAmidala]

Wow...that was a long time between meals! :eek:

[bigsierra]

Is the food still fresh?

Hi Angel :wave:

[wvmtnkid]

I would say it's time for a new round!

/me sets down a pot of beef stew and some mexican cornbread........

[AngelAmidala]

/me brings homemade toll house cookies for dessert

:yum:

[wvmtnkid]

:yum: Toll house cookies!

[AngelAmidala]

hehe...my mom's specialty....especially around the holidays! :)

[wvmtnkid]

I tried a new cookie recipe last night. They are snowmen-basically coconut balls with chocolate dipped marshmellows as the hats. I had a terrible time with the marshmellows and ended up having to start from scratch on them. But, eating the mistakes were pretty good! :yum:

[wvmtnkid]

Merry Christmas, Wesley's Parish! :hug:

Hey guys!

We need to get going again! I'm hungry-

How about we start with a fresh pot of coffee and some homemade blueberry muffins?

[Celticflower]

Hey guys!

I'll see your muffins and raise you a coffee cake. :yum:

Why does January seem to be my busiest month?? Between getting the kids back to school, sending daughter to TCTC, redoing son's room, keeping up with son's basketball schedule, cleaning up from the holidays--I feel like I am just now catching up! And I still have to help Hubby with the inventory on the tool truck!

Wish me luck--I am starting a new crochet project. I found a very basic sweater pattern and am trying to figure out a) the sizing for my husband and b) the placement of cables up the front (he wants an Aran style sweater). I have never tried this before--should be interesting or infuriating.:P

Celtie

[CelineDion]

Hey everyone! Im very tired. Please pray for me

[wvmtnkid]

Wow, sounds like you are busy Celtie! Hope the sweater comes out well. My sister has just taking up knitting. She was going to make me a scarf for Christmas, but since I didn't get one, I was a little to afraid to ask how the knitting was coming along! :)

Hi CelineDion! I am sorry you are tired. Saying a pray for the Lord to renew your strength and energy! :prayer:

I'm going to PA this weekend. How about a round of Philly Steak sandwiches to add to our table? :yum:

[Celticflower]

I'm going to PA this weekend. How about a round of Philly Steak sandwiches to add to our table? :yum:

Seems like forever since I've had one of those!!!

I would have brought in some of the NY state cheese curd I got at Christmas, but the kids ate it all :sigh: .

Sadly, no. My comp died in August and I've been trapped offline all this time.
There's probably no other way to get rid of me except outright persecution, which you have deigned to administer. ;)

[Monika]

Hi all! I grew up in the United Methodist church. In my early college years, I looked into other denominations... musically, I really love the Lutheran and Catholic churches! But I've always come back to the UMC, and have happily stayed put for the last 7 years or so.

I am currently the pianist at my church, where I also play harp, direct the handbell and flute choirs, and lead a healing music ensemble called Canticle (http://www.canticlemusic.org).

I was on this forum last year for a while, then got distracted with a bunch of stuff, then Hurricane Ivan came along (I'm in Pensacola) - things have changed a lot around here, looks great!

I brought a plate of ham and turkey sandwiches, with the crusts cut off, for the covered dish dinner! ;)

[Plan 9]

Hi, Monika! My dad lived in Pensacola for several years but I can't remember the name of hs UM church there. I sure liked Pensacola when I visited there. :)

Well, I'm sitting here in the aftermath of another winter storm that wasn't. We were supposed to get like an inch of ice followed by 3 inches of snow. We got a tenth of an inch of ice and a few snow flakes. The kids are bummed. Guess I'll be baking a big batch of chocolate cookies to comfort them when they get home from school tomorrow (they were hoping for a day off). I'll drop off the extras here when they are ready.

Celtie, help me! The stove in the apartment to which I've moved has the temp numbers worn off of the baking knob! I can't bake anything without them, and my microwave just broke. Is there some way to deduce the temperature of ones oven?

You can buy a thermometer that hangs from one of the oven racks to check the temp. Once you figure out where 350 is (the most common temp used) mark it on the dial with a marker. You might want to check a few other temps on either side to give you an idea of the approximat spacing on your dial for other temps.
The thermometer usually costs about a buck.

Oh, good idea! Well, supposing I can execute this plan; I'm still having trouble adjusting the stovetop burners. :blush:

I'm really broke right now because moving temporarily (I hope!) cut off my housing funding, so I'm getting this charity food, you know, odd mixtures of food items, which can be weird eating when I could actually set my ovens and burners, and had a working microwave. :sigh:

erm...it's not that I'm ungrateful to the local charities; they're a Godsend.

Planny!!!! :hug: I am so glad to see you back. Sorry to hear of your troubles, but I am glad that you are back with us. :clap: Loved the madcow link! The "madcow" cracked me up. :D

Hi bigsierra! Haven't seen you around for a bit either. Hope all is well out your way!

Welcom Monika to WP! Glad to have you join us! Is that you in the picture in your avatar playing the harp?

Well, I didn't get any Philly Cheese steak sandwiches this weekend (:cry:) but I was treated to an authentic Pennsylvannia Dutch meal. We had ham loaf and cheesy Dutch potatoes. Ham loaf is best described as ground ham and sausage mixed together and than formed in the shape of a loaf, much like meat loaf. It was ok, but the potatoes were yummy! I also had for dessert something that looked like a Swiss Miss Little Debbie cake, but the filling inside was ice-cream. It was very good as well.

/me adds a pot of chili to go with Monika's sandwiches.....

Thought it was time for some real food. Here's baked ravioli and meatballs, green beans and garlic bread. And it you want something sweet--apple pie and ice cream (but you have to eat your veggies first!)

So, what has everyone been up to? Any plans for Valentine's Day?

[hyperhiggy]

Hello

Im Nichola and im from Scotland..well originally from Northern ireland but i came over to scotland for university and i have just stayed here as i got a job. I grew up in a non religious house with the exception of my granny who used to take me to Church with her till i was about 11. I have only be going back to the Church and growing with my love for God from July 2004..my Minister back in Ireland has helped me along this stage of my life which i have really appreciated.

Anyway enough about me, how is everyone else doing on this lovely Friday afternoon? or morning or evening wherever you are!!!

Nichola x

[Celticflower]

Welcome Nichola! Pull up a plate and dig in!

On this cloudy, cold Friday in Tennessee I am trying hard to keep the fire going, rejoicing that my son's basketball game was cancelled(no going out in the cold tonight!) and waiting for my daughter to come home from school so I can listen to her practice her flute. Her school band is doing highlights for "the Lord of the Rings" movies in an upcoming concert. The music is a bit difficult, but it is such a joy to hear her go from a few tentative notes one day to being able to play a whole section.

Celtie

[hyperhiggy]

Thank you Celtie

You must be pleased that your son's basketball game has been cancelled...lol the poor wee thing will be upset!! You must have one talented daughter to be able to play music like that. I loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy it was such a good film!!

[Kalista]

Mmmm yum! All this food looks good!!! Heres some broccoli rice casserole.

Hi!!! I am from Iowa. Right now I go to the United Methodist Church in our community. I grew up in the Free Methodist Chruch, Dad is the pastor. Nice to meet everyone!!

[Andy Broadley]

Hello. Wandering around aimlessly doing an Arthur Dent (looking for tea, you have to have read the book), when I suddenly thought that if there was onr place in CF a fella could get a decent cuppa, it would be with the Methodists.

[Celticflower]

Welcome Andy--
Tea is on the sideboard next to the coffee and milk. There should be some cookies there too, unless my husband snuck in and ate them all.

Celtie

Hi - just passing. Hows it going guys and gals? I have a thought to share with you.

Before you critisize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. then when you critisize them you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.;)

Gotta run. God Bless

Did I hear the word tea mentioned?

Bored Cletie? Me too. 25 mins into 8hr night shift.
Is it me, or has CF got very quiet lately?

[Celticflower]

I think you"re right Andy--things have been quiet lately. Oh well, at least we are here.

How's the tea?

Celtie

[Andy Broadley]

Tea went down very well thanks. Just boiling kettle to make more. Need lots of tea when on nights. Well, Tootle Pip, and I'll look in later.

[Andy Broadley]

You'll like it here, Try some tea (it's good). Chicken and buscuits? And you reckon us brits are strange.

[Lel]

*sips some tea* Looks like a lovely dinner about here. May I offer some vegemite toast?

[Andy Broadley]

Yuk!! This is what you want. Far superior

Think I will stick to the blueberry preserves on my toast thank you.

Redneckanglican--everyone is welcome here! The kettle is always on and we try to have food of some sort.

Here we go, another lousy night shift. Oh well, at least theres plenty of tea.:)

Sorry about the night work. I had 2 jobs where I worked nights. The first was a waitressing job that stunk, so I left it to run sound for a local bar band. Now that was fun! Now I'm a stay at home mom and I love it -- except when I have to do the paper work for my husband's business :sigh: .

Anyone want some cherry pie?

Celtie

[Andy Broadley]

Tea and cherry pie sounds great

[Lel]

Yes, excellent. And I'll stick to vegemite, thanks. I've tried marmite -- not my cup of tea.

[Andy Broadley]

No, Lel, this is a cup of tea....


http://www.punchstock.com/image/imagezoo/4700999/large/jba0868.jpg

This is Marmite....

http://www.blessedquietness.com/marmite.jpg


And this is Vegemite...


http://www.ozbird.com/oz/OzCulture/oz_culture/vegemite/vegejar.gif

So you see, Marmite would not be your cup of tea, any more than tea would be your cup of vegemite;) ;) ;) ;)

What's that cup of tea doing without ice cubes? Heresy! Heresy!

[Celticflower]

The ice is in the cooler with the sodas--help yourself.

Celtie

[Andy Broadley]

You put ICE in TEA?


Only in America

[Celticflower]

I only put ice in my tea in the summer when the temps is near 90 and the humidity is the same

Celtie

[Andy Broadley]

My granny used to say that the best thing to drink on a hot day was a hot cup of tea, because it cooled you down. Apparently it's actually true. Something to do with the bodies internal thermostat. Just goes to prove that Grannies are NEVER wrong.

[Lel]

Hey, whoever wants a hot cup of tea when the temps are 120F can have one. Just don't make me drink it!

I didn't even know hot tea existed until I was an adult, actually.

Guess people haven't been too hungry lately.

Can I tempt anyone with warm apple crisp and vanilla ice cream?

Celtie

[bigsierra]

Hello Everyone :wave:

It's been a while since I've seen you all. I hope your spring is starting well.

Mmm, warm apple crisp and ice cream sounds great.

Oh, I brought brownies. They have chocolate chips, and are a bit gooey, so be careful, when trying to eat them.

[Celticflower]

I'd better not let my son in here with those brownies--he will eat every oneof them!

Hey Bigsierra-- long time no see!

The weather is getting warm again, will we have to fire up the bar-B-que and set up the pool again?

Celtie

[bigsierra]

http://caribbeanwind.com/Graphics/PoolBBQ_small.jpg

Sounds good. The grill is hot.

Where did all the brownies go? :)

[Celticflower]

Lovely pool!! Here's steaks and chicken for the grill.

Sorry, but I think my son snuck in and ate the brownies.

[bigsierra]

That rascal ;)

[wvmtnkid]

:wave:

Hi all! I just popped in to see if there is any iced tea left! :yum:

[bigsierra]

Hi wvmtnkid :wave:

Are you watching Survivor this season?

[wvmtnkid]

Hi bigsierra! :wave:

You bet I am! It's turning out to be pretty good! I haven't posted much on the Survivor thread this go around, though. I think my posting the other day was the first one for awhile.

How are things in your neck of the woods?

[bigsierra]

Things haven't been bad. It's nice having a little warm weather. Did you make your job change yet?

[wvmtnkid]

Well, I will actually start a new job next Monday (May 2). I am working out this week at my old job. I am a little nervous. I guess it's mostly the fear of the unknown. The new job looks pretty promising, so I hope it goes well. How about your job situation? I think the last time I talked to you, you were doing something on your own.

[bigsierra]

YaY, That sounds good. :clap: No break in between?

I'm trying to get my little company going. It's been a roofing and remodeling company, but I'm thinking about narrowing it down to roof repair and cedar preservation, decks and roofs. It's starting to take off, now that the weather is getting better.

[wvmtnkid]

Unfortunately, no break in between and I can not take any time off for the first 3 months. Kinda stinks since that will be the majority of my summer. But, I am sure I will survive! :)

Good luck with your business! I am sure the warmer weather will help boost your business too. In my area, the roofers have had more work than they can handle. Last May, we had a huge hail storm, with hail the size of tennis balls. Many roofs have been replaced and many are just now getting their's done, because roofers have been so backed up.

/me sits some fresh baked brownies on the table....

[ChrisLockhart]

Hello everybody! I bring spinach lasagna for everybody.

[Celticflower]

It is Memorial Day Weekend--the grill is fired up, potato salad is chillin' and lots of sodas on ice. Join me for a picnic??

[bigsierra]

That sounds like my kinda picnic. Here are some burgers and brauts.

[CaDan]

Hi all!

I am again making a tour of all the congregational fellowship fora!

/me drops off some pulled pork and potato salad.

Dig in! We have lots of leftovers and if you don't eat, it will just get fed to the cats!

[Crazy Liz]

Hi CaDan!

Do you by any chance have a pie to drop off at The Barnraising?

[ChrisLockhart]

I am happy that today the Youth Minister met my 2 year old son this morning.
I've been very shy about the whole thing, but she is a wonderful person and besides.. he's cute!

[Linnis]

Hmm. I usualy make my very yummy brownies for any family church like event, they always go over very big.

[ChrisLockhart]

brownies?

YES!

[AngelAmidala]

Hey Ya'll!

There's gonna be some massive great food (with of course tons of fellowship, prayer, and worship of God) the end of July in PA at a revival I've been helping out one of my fellow staff members with. You can check the link out in my profile to the revival...or click here... http://www.easton-revival.org


hehe....to give you a bit of a preview of the food....which will make your mouth water..... ;)

What do you do when you get a pastor to buy an old bar with a house attached....and in the bar is a small but very workable commercial kitchen? You get real deep fried chicken...that's what you do! :D

Feel free to check it out and see where I've been spending most of my free time...at my other church. :)

God Bless! :)

And keep making yummy food! :D

[LadyLuck]

*Plops down some of her World Famous Mother's Day Angel Food Cake*

Food looks great all!! Mind if I join the party? I was born into the Nazarene Church and my beliefs have not changed much since then. When I was seven my Dad and stepmother started going to a penecostal church and I went there until I was a teen when I switch back over to Nazarene because I moved in with my grandparents. Since then I've found that my beliefs are much more in line with Weslian thought then Penecostal.

[bigsierra]

Hello LadyLuck :wave:

Welcome to Christian Forums.

Your revival looks great, Angel. Fried chicken sounds good too. :yum: The schedule looks very interesting. Thanks for posting the link.

I grew up with campmeetings. They were always outside and always on the hottest days of the year.

[Celticflower]

*****looks around the empty room, :sigh: and begins to straighten things up*****

Nobody has been in here in a while, so I figured it was time to clean up again.

Since the weather here has been soooooo hot and nasty I've brought along a HUGE pitcher of lemonade and lots of ice, some sugar cookies and fruit and veggie trays to munch on.

***sets food on table, leaves and returns with a bouquet of white roses****

The roses grow in my yard--left behind by the previous owner.

[ChrisLockhart]

Lemonade? I'll be loving some lemonade, thanks!

[Onesimus85]

We had homeade apple crisp cooked with apples picked from the North Carolina mountains at Bible study. Then we topped it off with ice cold homeade vanilla, cherry, or chocolate ice cream. I figured that I would bring some here too.

[Celticflower]

Apple crisp YUM YUM!!! It is one of our favorites! My daughter (age 13) makes it sometimes when I don't have the time. She even made it for last Thanksgiving--she and her brother don't like pie.

[supertaz]

When I was in college and attended a church potluck, I actually got away with bringing a nicely-arranged plate of uncooked pop-tarts . . . taken out of the bags of course . . .

Any objections?

BTW, I'm SuperTaz (Zach to my buds), and I'm new here! I hail from Texas where I am an English teacher. I hope to meet some good friends here! Talk to you soon folks!

[Celticflower]

Welcome Zach! Poptarts huh? Well, I'll break out the toaster for them. Did you know they are pretty good with vanilla ice cream?

[supertaz]

My dad-in-law smears creamy peanut butter on frosted cinnamon tarts!!

Shame you couldn't make it to the party, it was a heck of a night:D

We ended up filling a full 1000 post 'pub thread' in a little over 9 hours:D

[Celticflower]

Man, I always miss the good stuff! Guess that's what I get for being a "good Mom", I'm too busy or too tired to party.

Party in the pub to celebrate sometime shortly after that.
I'll put the date here.

I am soooooooooooo depressed!!!

:( :cry: :(

[TCapp]

I've been so-so. :) Will be better once I move south.

Here, Linda, have some apple pie. I've had my share of friends moving away (or me having to move from them). It's never fun.

[tryme]

MMM,yeah.You must be Italian! Wanders around with his carrot cake and 7-11 Slurpee this morning.:yawn:
Not Italian but love their food.
I am not sure where my mom found that recipe.
It's a family favorite and often used for guests.

[lindamarie]

Here, Linda, have some apple pie. I've had my share of friends moving away (or me having to move from them). It's never fun.

Thank you so much, TCapp. Apple pie!!! :thumbsup: Yum -- maybe there's some vanilla ice cream to put on top???

I've done more than my share of moving away... But I don't like it a bit when someone else does the moving. Besides, I've let this particular friend get a "little too close"... ;) And she is soooo good for me...

<whine, whine>

[TCapp]

My bestest best friends in the universe (save for Jesus and husband, natually) live a couple thousand miles away. We've been buds since kindergarten, and we miss each other greatly. We used to live down the street from each other.

Then they moved about 14 miles away just after grade school. Then they moved two states away after high school. Then they moved back to the same state (a couple hundred miles away). I managed to drive to see them every so often - a 4 hour drive.

Then I moved from AZ to Canada and we've not seen each other in about 4 years. :cry: But we still write and call every now and then. And we look forward to a reunion once my family and I move back to AZ.

Oh yeah, and here's some vanilla ice cream! :D

[amx]

Hey lindamarie I've brought mashed potatoes and a gallon of sweet tea. Too me mashed potatoes are top of the list when it comes to comfort food. I'm sorry your friend is moving. :(
Hey everyone. I'm writing from middle Tennessee. I'm a Sunday school teacher in a nazarene church. I'm the fourth generation of my family in our church. I love the holyness traditions and philosophy. I feel blessed to be speaking with fellow wesleyans tonight.

Nice to meet you amx :wave:

[Celticflower]

Hi amx :wave: , I'm in east Tenn. Did you hear we had SNOW on the mountains the other day???


I'll see your mashed potatoes and raise you a pot of potato soup! :yum: And here's a pan of fudgy brownies I rescued from my chocoholic son ^_^ .

Anyone want some Kraft macaroni and cheese (or Kraft Dinner as they call it here)?

[lindamarie]

Sounds like carb heaven in here... I'll have a serving of each !! (Don't pay any attention to the "idea" I had in the ODB disussion... I think I must have been under conviction, but am getting over it...

Carbs :clap: :clap: :clap:

Hello lindamarie :wave:

I wonder if there's a group for carb-oholics ? (I don't think I'm ready to join, though...)

Hi maggie !!! :wave:
