Got a Freschetta pizza... Canadian Bacon and pineapple added some Bacon Jam, Colby Jack cheese and some Honey Ham... Garlic powder and Red Pepper Flakes... It was damn good. Not as sweet as you think.

If you like almond, I would add 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. That stuff is very good if you like almond taste.

Actually, if you don't burn it, it has a pleasant cat like taste, with just a hint if cat spit, so we don't mind if a little gets in the gravy or dinner rolls.

Friend,

Your delightful dish reminds me to pray for our dear friend Salmon, whose house was destroyed earlier this month in those storms. Although it appears he is doing well, it is always a good time to pray for our friends, not to mention our enemies, just as our Lord taught.

We are at a cousin's house in Florida right now. I begged Mother to bring us to Charlotte today for the Christopher Radko warehouse sale. This annual sale has been on a three year hiatus due to the virus that took a swipe at you. She refused, and no one on the OT has of yet taken up the mantle and gone to the warehouse to take pictures for the benefit and edification of all of us. Let us pray that tomorrow holds a gift.

Tonight, we had NY strip steaks, which is not my favorite cut of meat due to the fat. These were prime NY strips, so they were even fattier and our cousin put butter on top. It was good if you enjoy steak coated in butter and salt, which I do not. Give it to me as it as a slab of beef. We also had fresh heirloom tomatoes, which we brought as a house warming gift. Yes, they are from Grandfather's garden. We also had some of their zucchini and squash which came from a nearby farm. The family prepared some succotash, which left much to be desired.



Touching to me was that this cousin set out the Fiestaware I gave her for Christmas in 2008. It is quite fetching, isn't it?

For dessert, we had an absolutely delicious key lime pie from Sam's Club. In my opinion, it is a better pie than that served at Joe's or even Kermit's. It is perfect, so good I went back for three slices.



Heartfully Yours,
TulaneLSU


Lord, be with all of us this eventide.
Give us this evening, a time to reflect
On the gifts you shower upon us
Day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment.
May each moment be spent in the knowledge
Of your grace, your love, and steadfast mercy.
May the food on our plate,
That joyful miracle of sun and soaked soil,
Give energy to our frames
That they may build the house that welcomes all.
Through Christ,
Amen.

I LOVE almond extract and I keep extra creamy canned whipped cream on hand as a staple.
