Hot Cakes (do not use metal bowl):

• Thu 25 Jun 2009 - Garlic Butter
Garlic Butter
This is excellent. Has wonderful flavor and is so easy to make. I think
next time I make it I will use garlic powder or cut back on the garlic salt.
Recipe By : All Recipes (Denyse)
Categories : Condiments
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic and parmesan
cheese. Season with garlic salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and paprika. Mix

Recipe Source: All Recipes (Denyse)
Author Note: "Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple
recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on
barbecued steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or
margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust
the amount of garlic to your taste." |

• Sun 21 Jun 2009 - Romans 12 ..Word to live by
Romans 12
King James Bible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
