"RECIPES"
This salami is absolutely delicious. It takes some time to make, but is definitely worth the effort.
5 lbs. hamburger
4 tablespoons curing salt (Mortons Tender Quick)
2 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper ( I used regular pepper)
2 1/2 teaspoon mustard
Knead all ingredients together and put in a large bowl. Cover and put in the fridge. Knead 5 times each day for 4 days. On the fourth day, after kneading, shape into 5 or 6 rolls. Place on a rack over a cookie sheet or use a large broiler pan to catch the drippings. Bake 9 hours at 160 degrees. Turn the rolls a few times during the baking process. Store in the fridge or freezer. ENJOY!
1 package (14 oz.) caramels (about 48)
1/3 C. water
2 C. all-purpose flour
2 C. quick cooking oats
1 C. packed brown sugar
1 C. margarine or butter, melted
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 package (6 oz.) chocolate chips (holiday m&m's may be substituted)
Heat caramels and water over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, margarine, baking soda and salt. Reserve 1 C. mixture for topping. Press remaining misture in ungreased baking pan, 13 x 9x 2 inches. Bake mixture for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle baked layer with chocolate chips; drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with reserved crumbly mixture. Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut into bars, 2 x 1 inch. Makes 4 dozen bars.
In this busy time of the year, we need to find time to rest, and remember what this season truly means...I hope this next item will minister.
I was brought up on a farm in southern New Jersey. For me the winter season was a very special time. Daddy didn't work as hard as he did the rest of the year. In fact, there were periods of time when he didn't work at all--so far as I could tell. He just sat by the fire and held me close. Oh, how I treasure those imtimate moments!
I treasure the winters in my spiritual life, too--those times when the demands to be active are not as heavy as usual. How good it is to come apart from the frantic pace of life, to feel the warmth of my Father's love in a refreshing way.
Sometimes, when I am resting in His arms, He speaks directly to my heart. "My child, I love you. I love you," He emphasizes. "Do you mind if I hold you tightly for just a moment? You need to calm down. You've been running."
As I snuggle closer to Him, He gently probes, "Why do you think you are pleasing me only when you are actively accomplishing something for me? Don't you know I am much more interested in what you are becoming than in what you are doing for the advancement of my kingdom? Learn what it means to be still. Just be still--and get to know me. I am your Protector, you Provider, you Comforter and your Healer. And, my child, I dearly love you. Understand that."
Psalm 46:10....Be still, and know that I am God.
Have a wonderfully blessed and fun Christmas. Let's not forget what this day is all about! JESUS
