Home Made Ranch Dressing

Greetings to all those who have come from abroad for the World Cup.

I see everywhere you are excited about some of the food, so I will

share where to get recipes to enable you to make these favorites at home when you return to your country.

Find the particular recipes by doing a web search for DIY, Homemade, or "Copy CatRecipe for______" and include the thing you are looking for.

Also, grocery stores, WalMarts and other places that sell cooking magazines will have entire issues showing how to make the following things at home:

Ranch Dressing

KFC and Chick-Fil-A coatings for chicken

Home made flour and corn tortillas

Taco Fillings and Sides.

Mac and Cheese

Cole Slaw

French Fries like _____(name the place)

I was able to make fries very similar to the ones in fast food restaurants, with a few helpful tips:

After cutting the fries, soak them in ice water. Then drain and dry on paper towels, roll in cornstarch and salt and fry in your preferred oil or bake on an oiled pan.

I hope all of you are loving the way these visitors are enjoying the local parks, foods, activities, shopping, visiting and more. My favorite videos on YouTube are the ones showing World Cup fans from different nations enthusiasm for the shopping, eateries, and recreation areas we often take for granted.

Hopefully many of these newcomers will seek out places to attend worship. with churches. There was a powerful US and some foreign teams prayers before a match, but other than that I have not had any personal reports regarding this.

We are also enjoying the smiles, laughs and songs of these overseas visitors.

We have had long visits in the past from people in other countries and they complain that during their visit they smiled so much their face muscles ached when they got home.

I hope all will be well with these people and that the US can host the World Cup again. The fans were another entertainment itself.

Ranch dressing consists of:

plain yogurt

buttermilk

sour cream

lemon juice

vinegar

garlic powder

onion powder

sea salt

dill

I hope to be back in about a week with videos and posts for you.

The Little Chap Who Follows Me!

A careful man I want to be;
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.

I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whate'er he sees me do, he tries.
Like me he says he's going to be;
The little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I'm so very fine,
Believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see;
The little chap who follows me.

I must remember as I go
Through summer's sun and winter's snow,
I'm building for the years to be;
The little chap who follows me.

Welcome

" So far as this world knows or can vision, there is no attainment more desirable than the happy and contented home."

This is a Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 teaching blog, where you will find some ideas for creating the kind of home life that gives you a sense of well-being, creativity and accomplishment. It will help you understand the reasons for being the Biblical keepers of the home, as opposed to the world's answer of being career women outside of the home.

I really hope to help restore the culture of the home, which is a never-changing precept of the Bible: marriage, home and family. Young women especially need to know there is something else of greater importance than college and career, and that they play a vital role in making a stable family. In order to have strong marriages, respectful children, and good churches, women need to return to the home. My blog is based on the precept of First Timothy 5, verse 14:

"I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully..."

These articles are designed to give the homemaker ideas for doing an excellent job in the home and for enjoying the role of homemaker and guide of the house. Marriage, the family and home life is splintered. Women must be allowed to return to the home.

The Queen's Ire

England's Queen Victoria wrote in 1870, "I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights', with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings, and would surely perish without male protection."-- Queen Victoria, 1870.

Home

"Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" ~Tasha Tudor

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. ~Jane Austen

Home ought to be our clearinghouse, the place from which we go forth lessoned and disciplined, and ready for life. ~Kathleen Norris
