I have this goal to update our blog at least once a week, having internet will make this possible! So...for the first time in a while...here is an update!
Fast Food
Cooking in our neck of the woods (in the mountains of South Asia) is mainly from scratch. I do not get to run to Wal-mart, Publix or Chick-Fil-A like I used to. I cannot pick up a frozen pizza or even call to have one delivered. I have learned to make many things here and it isn't terribly difficult, just time consuming. I say all of this to tell you that our new idea of "fast food" is using a pressure cooker! It is amazing how quickly you can cook things in one of those! I'm wondering why I never owned one back home. Some of you may be thinking that you are so thankful you do not have to live this way, but let me assure you...we are doing great! Believe it or not, those luxuries you have, are in fact luxuries. The idea of "needing" things has certainly changed its meaning in our lives. We no longer "need" so much. What we cannot live without, is God's grace and mercy. Everything else is just to help us out along the way.

Thank you guys for your sweet comments. It means SO much to get them. I'm thrilled that we have some folks that enjoy reading about what is going on here! LOVE to you!
I am so happy to see you blogging again (I had no idea). I love reading about your meal adventures. I tend to feel the same, especially as I try to figure out how to cook meals that are gluten free, dairy free, soy/nut/egg/sunflower free. Simple foods are sometimes best. I still have never used a pressure cooker...
