I’m sorry.My
explanation: it’s finals week.And I busted
out a rather long paper with numerous citations this last weekend.Needless to say…I can’t look at a computer
screen and type.It just isn’t going to
happen.
Hopefully I will be back this week after recovering for a
few days
Friday night I came home from being out of town for the previous
24 hours.It was a stressful day and I
had been meaning to make quiche all week.I forgot to buy a crust at the store {cause that’s what happens these
days, store bought crust}.So it was
leftovers and quiche combined.
If you are like me and forgot to buy or are too lazy to make
a crust make a simple cracker crust.I
used Ritz crackers because, well I was too lazy to make a flour crust.Mix the smashed cracker crumbs with melted
butter (3-4 tablespoons) and pat into a pie crust.Bake for 10 minutes at 250 to set.
Chop up whatever veggies you have and sound like they would
be good together.I had roasted brussel
sprouts earlier in the week and so that went in with the red bell pepper and
zucchini.I suggest adding some protein,
we added sausage that actually had spinach, cheese, and garlic inside.Fill your crust with the veggies and meat and
top with shredded cheese.I used cheddar
and parmesan because that is what I had on hand, but my favorite is swiss.Mix 3 eggs with ¼ cup milk and few dashes of
pepper.If you don’t have garlic in with
a veggie I suggest adding some to the egg mix.Pour over the top and bake for 25-35 minutes at 375 or until cheese is
slightly browned.
Enjoy!
I also figured that since I just talked about coming to the table this was a perfect opportunity to show you what's been on my table lately.
I love kitchen tables, dining room tables, side tables.Tables represent food and gathering to
me.They represent a display of life.
When we come to the table for dinner we are normal,
ordinary.Actually most people don’t sit
at a dining table to eat their dinner.I
know that I’m guilty of this as well. I eat on the couch or in my room when
others are using the common area.Sometimes
I eat sanding up around the kitchen or on the stool in the corner.I don’t take the time to come sit.To rest.To process.To build that
community.
I wonder but also believe that Jesus used the table as a
place that was ordinary and simple because it would be remembered.It is a task that we must do every day; we
must eat and drink.It is a simple and
sustaining meal; bread and drink.
I think of that night when Jesus came to table...
There were
no decorations
No table
cloth
No candlesticks
or plates
No centerpieces
No place
cards
Heck,
who knows if there was even a table
Just wine,
a cup, and bread.
And
people.People that were very much
loved.
Hands breaking bread make up the table.
People in conversation make up the table.
Like I said, life is centered around the table; through our conversation,
through our nourishment.
These are two videos, one a business plan about using what Jesus
started to be a community and the other a song.
