The Indian Life

I haven't written for a while now so there's lots of stuff to write about now! Hmm.. I'll start with:

Youth Competitions! Mom & dad were gonna be the judges, so of course the 3 of us kids went too. There was singing, dancing, short message (like preaching) and then a Bible quiz. The Bible quiz was really funny! The three C-Kids were the only contestants for teens! Sibling rivalry for good reason. Haha!

Wedding Prayer & Wedding! The prayer thing was interesting. The ceremony was like the other one after prayer and stuff. Tumeric paste, wreath of money (not like the other one), giving of sarees (dowry), and giving of red bangles to the bride. The next day we went to the wedding, which we didn't actually go to. We only went to the reception cause dad had worship practice. So we got there just in time for the starting of the reception.

Choir Practice! Dad will be choir-instructor for the Christmas choir. We've been having the choir practice every sunday after service. We've finished TWO Christmas carols! There are 5-7 I think...so we're doing great!

Last night! Last night we had mom's birthday party...kind of. I baked oatmeal bars, and our guests brought a birthday cake. I'll put the recipe down here for whoever wants to make them. I think I have a photo of them too...

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups oatmeal

1 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet; toast until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove nuts from baking sheet, and reserve.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar; cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and oatmeal. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and set, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove from oven, and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over surface; let chocolate sit until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly over oatmeal squares. Sprinkle warm chocolate with toasted almonds. Cut into squares when cool.

Well, ours looked a bit diffrent cause our almond were more crushed up than that. But trust me, it looks great AND tastes great!!!
