Horseradish Sauce

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:30:05 -0400

This is a good dipping sauce for someone looking for something more spicy than tartar sauce. Excellent with braised fish. You may use more or less horseradish to suit your taste

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed
salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, horseradish, and dill. Season to taste with salt. Serve.

Spicy Chili French Fries

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:25:48 -0400

These spicy baked fries are very easy to make, and a great way to kick up your burger platter.

INGREDIENTS:

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick fries
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried onion granules
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.

Fill a large bowl with cold water, add the potatoes, and allow to soak for 10 minutes.

Whisk together the oil, vegetable juice cocktail, chili powder, ground cumin, onion granules, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Drain the potatoes, and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the potatoes with the oil and spice mixture; stir until evenly coated. Arrange fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake fries in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn and continue to bake until browned and crispy, about 20 additional minutes.

Home Made Ketchup

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:23:42 -0400

It's the only ketchup recipe that I've ever had that stood up even close to as good as popular brands. It's different, but it's REALLY good! It's important to reduce this for a long time, like 4 hours or so. It will thicken just a bit as it cools.

INGREDIENTS:

6 large tomatoes, quartered
1 bulb fennel, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
10 whole cloves
2 whole star anise pods
1 tablespoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

In a large saucepan combine tomatoes, fennel, onion, garlic, sugar, molasses, vinegar, cloves, anise pods and salt. Reduce over low heat until mixture becomes very thick.

Puree mixture in a blender and strain through a mesh strainer. Chill and store in refrigerator.

Peach Cobbler

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:21:25 -0400

No one will ever guess it's 'lighter' than any other cobbler.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup reduced-calorie margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup skim milk
4 (15 ounce) cans sliced peaches packed in juice, drained and juice reserved

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Pour the melted margarine into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and white sugar. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved liquid from the peaches and the milk until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the bottom of the dish over the margarine. Do not stir. Spoon peaches over the batter.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden.

Hot Dog Sauce

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:19:23 -0400

I like it with a bite, but you can adjust it to your taste. Top the hotdogs with ketchup, mustard, the hotdog sauce, chopped onions and, if you're a real "dogophile," add some relish, cole slaw and possibly cheese and sauerkraut for a real "all-the-way!" This recipe makes enough for freezing and using later.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup water
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
crushed red pepper flakes to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Crumble ground beef into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in water, and mash ground beef thoroughly with a potato masher. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, sugar, and chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, 60 to 90 minutes, until the sauce reaches a medium consistency that is not too soupy.

NOTE:

Hot dogs can be a real subjective thing. Around here, we really like Carolina Packers and Brightleaf brands, as well as Carolina Packers "Red Hots"

Jordanian King namess 15 year old son as heir

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:47:28 -0400

Jordanian king names 15-year-old son as heir
Jul. 3, 2009
ap and jpost staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

Jordan's King Abdullah II named his eldest son as heir to the throne Thursday, ending five years of speculation over his successor. Abdullah's move is aimed at avoiding the uncertainty over succession that dogged his father, King Hussein.

In 1999, Jordanians were baffled to see Hussein - on his death bed struggling with cancer - strip his brother, Prince Hassan, of the crown and give it to Abdullah. Hassan had been groomed for the Hashemite throne for more than three decades.

By naming Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah crown prince, Abdullah can groom the 15-year-old for the throne from a young age. Hussein's appointment came in a royal decree released by the palace. It said the crown prince will hold the title and "enjoy the rights and privileges of his post" effective immediately.

Under the constitution, the crown prince has a largely ceremonial role, representing the monarch in ribbon-cutting ceremonies and carrying out other symbolic functions. He has no official political post.

Thursday's move was widely expected once the position became vacant in November 2004, when Abdullah removed the title from his half brother, Prince Hamzah, in a sudden palace shake-up.

Hamzah, 29, had held the post when Abdullah first ascended to the throne in February 1999 following the death of their father.

At the time, Abdullah said Hamzah's position as crown prince was in line with his father's wishes, but later stripped him of the title because it "restrained his freedom" to study, travel and live a normal life.

Under the constitution, the crown is automatically ordained to the king's eldest son, unless the monarch decrees otherwise.

Prince Hussein - a high school student in Jordan - is the eldest of King Abdullah and Queen Rania's four children.

Like his father and other members of Jordan's ruling Hashemite dynasty, Hussein claims ancestry to Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

Issues

I'm dealing with some of the toughest things I've dealt with right now, and I thought it would be fair to let Worthy know, seeing as I'm not going to be around much.

Losing a friend??

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 09:17:56 -0400

I just got back from a Christian getaway with my girlfriend. There we both got a great time to focus on Him and weed out sin. We both decided that we need to take a long break to let old dogs die and new life come in... we've been sexually immoral together and used to argue very often over little things. But now we're both refocused and we're going to split so again we let the sin die. But I talked to my pastor the other day about the situation, and he said something that surprised me. He said that not only should my girlfriend and I not consider dating/marriage again, but he also said that we should never talk again. She's not only my girlfriend, she's my best friend. I keep thinking to myself, there has to be another way, right? I just feel so connected to this woman. Help.

Hello all, I'm new here. My name is JJ. Here to learn more of the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ. Hoping to get closer to God thru this site.

Hello!

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:57:34 -0400

My name is Kenny Disraili, and I have just joined this forum.

I am Non Denominational and I am looking to find other Christian friends, and fellowship with them.

I was the Senior Co-Administrator of another urban oriented forum, but the liberal views of the Administrator caused me to resign, and I have been looking for a good forum to join ever since.

I hope to make many friends here, and learn many things regarding the Christian Faith.

Point of Praise

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:50:39 -0400

As a new mother- my son who is only 3 months old has already taught me so much. When I look at him I see such innocents and love. When he smiles at me it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. His smile is so genuine and pure- his joy radiates abundantly, there is nothing held back.

I have been struggling for the past few months with the concept of God�s love for me. I feel so tainted by the world, so blemished from my scars. How can God Love me so much? I know it�s true but I can�t grasp it. When I come to God on my knees I see myself hideous in His sight, saved through Christ�s grace, but still scarred from my past. I am nothing like a Child so pure and innocent�. I have been stained from many years of battles lost.

But then a gentle whisper in the quiet of my heart stirs my thoughts. When Jesus cleanses us from our sins, he does so COMPLETELY. When God looks at me, He sees me through Christ�s Blood. Wow. God looks upon me as though I have never sinned. He doesn�t even remember my faults. My sins are as far from me as the east is from the west. What a revelation, no longer will I dwell in the sorrow and guilt of my past for I am made perfect in Christ. When my Father in Heaven looks upon my face, he sees me as a Child, innocent and pure. Praise God. Thank you Lord.

Psalms 103:11-14

�11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;�

Romans 8:35-38

�35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[l]
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.�

Romans 8:28-30
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Hebrews 8:12
�For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."

Eze. 44:4

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:12:31 -0400

ze 44:4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.

this may not be the perfect scripture for what I want to say but the point is when He saw the Glory of the Lord he just could not stand but fell upon his face before Him...

Has the Lord ever spoken so intensley to your heart that you could not stand but had to fall on your face before Him..
Who He is was so overwhelming it just took your breath away...

There have been a couple of threads about this but none that are sharing kind of thread..

It is an awesome experience and I will never look at God the same way as I did ..
He is all powerful..omnipotent ...Holy...forgiving..faithful..steadfast..and a million more adjective I just cannot come up with...

I remember talking about His forgiveness to us and it just so struck my heart how big and incredible that forgiveness was that I was overwhelmed by it... I am completely forgiven...
Oh how can I stand in His presence ... in the revelation of who He is.. sometimes I cannot...

I am curious to see how many folks who come here have and in what situation you were in that His presence was so awesome to you.

Share some of your experiences ...
