Pickled Carrots and Radishes

A quick pickled radish with carrots for added sweetness…wash and slice the radishes.  I bought already sliced carrots (I know).  Bring to boil, (1) one cup rice vinegar, (1) one cup water, 1/2 cup sugar,  and a good pinch of salt.  Pour over radishes and carrots in a glass dish.  (Please be careful doing this…)I let mine cool on the counter then refrigerated for several hours.  I like them crispy and tangy.Serve with Korean dishes or with any side dish.  I like to have them with a boiled egg.

Blessings.

Baby Girl Time

Carmen was home over the holiday weekend.  She had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, that led to me being off of work.  So we ended up at Emeril’s Coastal Italian in Destin for lunch.

We shared the coastal board (a daily special that varies) which had olives, marinated blue crab claws, and artichokes and crab.  It was yummy, and a perfect size since we decided to have dessert!They have changed up the plating, which gave us much more of a serving of the Olive Oil Cake – okay! It used to be served in the (picture in the link) cups but this is a huge slice and is AMAZING!  I have added Emeril’s recipe in the link —if you have the gumption to make it.  I think I might try to one of these days.  But to have the entire cake at my disposal might not be a good thing.  We ended up taking half of it home even after sharing it.Although the food was wonderful, time with Carmen was better.  Always good to have her home.

Blessings!

Memorial Day

Thankful for my Father’s service and sacrifice (killed in 1966 before I was born) even though I never knew him. Thankful for my path because of him.

Thankful for my Step-Father stepping in when I was three, and his 26 years of service (two tours in both the Korean War and the Vietnam War).

Blessings.

Claim

There are days, before I set my feet to the ground, that I say this out loud to God. On those days, I claim this…that God will show me His glory.  I also believe that speaking it out loud helps. I am not exactly sure why, just that it does.

Some days I need God to show me more of His glory than others. I am certain God needs to see more of me in His glory as well – but that is another discussion.

Asking for some GLORY today.

Lemon Chicken Thighs

Mediterranean chicken thighs…marinated the chicken thighs with juice of one lemon, zest as well, some chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, minced garlic and Greek seasoning. Sauteed with the juices until somewhat reduced, then I added a couple of pats of unsalted butter.Sauté until chicken is cook through.

These thighs were light, juicy, fresh, and tasted like summer. Really enjoyed them as is, didn’t need any other sauce.   You can serve them with rice or noodles. I had them with a salad with and a sprinkle of feta cheese with balsamic vinegar.  Yummy.

Blessings.
