Making Veggie Trays


Fill your basin with cold water that will bathe the veggies as you clean them.
celery cauliflower broccoli tomato carrots onion radish

Now the carrots will sink to the bottom.
The things with more air float at there own level so they are so easy to seperate.
Trim down those things into bite size and set aside to drain on cookie sheets before assembly.
The only thing to cut then is the dedicates of cucumber and peppers.


reserve the bell peppers and the cucumbers to do alone.
 
Home grown radish
 
This is a tray for a smaller party
 
The larger one
In center is the fresh home grown basil
Curl onions by cutting them the long way to within an inch of the bulb part.
Cut twice so there is quarters soak in a bit of water a few moments and they will curl.
 
This was one of the other  dishes I offered to the meals of Thanksgiving.

Such a beautiful picture...I love raw veggies.
I had to laugh at the description of the stocking. It is a primitive sheep with a blanket on it..the blanket has a holly leaf and berries on it. the sheep head is facing forward with a small bow in it's hair..I can take a better picture if you want me too..I think I made them in January if you want to check the archives...hope that helps...lol Dianntha

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
