BFS Assignment 22: Dinner Tonight
For this week's assignment I thought it would be fun to share our dinner plans for the night or if you're organized enough for the week. You can include pictures if you desire. Also tell what your family likes to drink, if you have desserts or not. If you want to then take this assignment and let all the children in your life make dinner for the night. Please add your favorite verse for this assignment as it might be an encouragement for someone else. This week's assignment is short and sweet so have fun with it.
It's been a while since I did a Blogger Friend's School assignment. Life's just been really full lately. But I had time today so here it is!
I went to the one little grocery store here in our city last week for our monthly trip to stock up and what did I see when I came to the legumes? Black Beans!!!! They are hard to find in this country and I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all those bags of black beans for a good price! Woo hoo! So I stocked up!
This week I cooked them up with some taco seasoning in the pressure cooker and served them over rice with fresh salsa on the side (my tomatoes were a bit mushy but made perfect salsa). Yum! Just last night I re-heated the beans and we ate them with little potatoes I boiled and some cubed fried potatoes (didn't have enough of either kind of potato so I made both!) , lettuce and some sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. We usually drink water with our meals or after the meal.
This week we had some very tart apples that were starting to get really ripe so I sliced them all up and added some sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice to them. I had some leftover pie crust in the freezer so I rolled it out into 4" squares and put the apple filling in the middle and folded the corners in to the middle. Making a sort of bundle. From a recipe for apple dumplings I followed the instructions for a syrup to pour over the "bundles" of: sugar, water, cinnamon and butter. This I boiled for a couple minutes and then poured over the "bundles" which I had placed in a 9X13" glass pan. I baked this for about 40 minutes and they turned out very yummy!
There was still some leftover apple mixture so I mixed up a really simple cobbler batter:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
It wasn't much but just enough for a tiny pan. Poured the batter in and spooned the apple mixture over it and baked this too. We had lots of yummy apple goodness to eat for desserts for a couple days. Mmmm!
Verse that came to mind with this assignment:
Song of Solomon 2:4 -
He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
