I saved a little old lady today. Well I didn’t save her, but I ran to her rescue. Delores, 90 years old, fell down outside the bank and broke her hip. I prayed with her while fellow co-workers called for an ambulance. Luckily the Ambulance was two blocks away and actually on their way to the bank to see me. The responding EMT is my customer and he needed to come sign some papers. She was in a lot of pain and I was very grateful that God prepared quick help for her.
I hope that Delores is OK. I thought it was nice that my EMT customer and his co-workers all called her “Sweetie,” or “Darling.” Like, “Does this hurt Sweetie?” Or, “Darling, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain you have ever experienced, how would you rate your pain?” Through her moans she got out a number…9. Ouch!
She kept apologizing that we had to help her. One of the EMT’s joked with her once they got her situated on the backboard that if she hadn’t of been so clumsy they would be at lunch already, she was able to laugh a little at this.
Pray for Delores and her family. Our bank manager just went to the Hospital to visit her and Delores daughter confirmed that she broke her hip and was scheduled surgery for tomorrow morning. So again, please pray…well, let’s pray right now:
Lord, thank you for Delores. I pray that she has a relationship with you. That is the most important thing I could ask for right now in this moment. I pray that you will take her hip and mend it. I pray that you take her pain and relieve it. I pray that you will bring comfort to her family, and wisdom to the doctors and nurses involved in her care. I pray that they will treat her with respect and dignity. In Jesus name, Amen.
I posted Brandon ’s testimony yesterday about his trip to Africa , wasn’t that amazing? I don’t dance very well; in fact, I am really, really bad at it. I loved reading about how the Kenyan’s danced for the Lord. King David danced before the Lord too. I love it when I see my little boys dance. They see me smile and they dance even more. They clap their hands and shake their little booty’s. Adorable! Makes me wonder if God smiles at us and claps when we dance like I do for my little boys…maybe.
I’d probably make him spit out his heavenly coffee laughing at my dance moves.
I almost spit my coffee out the other day, all over my computer screen, when a friend from work sent me an email with a quote in it from My Big Fat Greek Wedding:
“Yes… Inside the lump was my twin.”
That movie is hilarious! I am going to have to watch it again soon. Maybe eat some Monkey Brains and watch MBFGW…any takers?
Ok, well, let me know!
Soooooo, I made another vegetarian dish. I am telling you folks, it doesn’t have to have meat to be a meal. I used to think this was the case. I am now convinced otherwise. I may never go back. I think you will really like this too! Especially if you are trying to eat healthy but not compromise taste. Only problem with these are that you may be required to use some restraint. But they are so healthy that you could eat a bunch of ‘em and you wouldn’t hurt yourself.
It was so easy, SO easy. And it was so good, SO good! Mmmmm, I would order this at a restaurant all day long. But I don’t have to, because I invented it. And because I invented it, I get to name it. It shall be named: Skinny Mini Greek Garden Soft Taco’s
Yes, I think that should cover it. Here is what you will need to serve 2 people….are you ready?
- 1 zucchini chopped
- 1 yellow squash chopped
- 1 carrot sliced diagonally
- 12 pickled asparagus spears (I forgot to take a picture of this, oops!)
- ¼ cup feta (hence the Greek in the name)
- 1/2 block firm tofu
- 4 low carb soft taco tortilla (this is just what I used)
- Salt to taste
Ha, and that is it! My mouth told me I was a genius. In the words of my father, “If I wasn’t already taken, I would marry myself!” –Ron Salleé. He says this when he creates culinary genius; so he says this a lot! (Have you noticed how everyone is putting quotes on Facebook?)
In a skillet combined your zucchini, squash, and carrots with about ½ cup water and cook on medium heat until veggies are hot and kind of steamy. When they are done, drain and transfer them to a bowl. Place your tofu in the skillet and cube with the edge of your spatula and brown them with a pinch of salt. When your cubes are browned on multiple sides place in bowl with veggies.
Take your flour tortilla and sprinkle with about ¼ of your 1/4th cup feta and place 4 asparagus spears in the center. Let it heat up a little bit in your skillet.
Just so the tortilla is heated through and the cheese is slightly warmed. Should take about 2 minutes. Top with ¼ of your veggie mixture and pinch shut with a clothes pin (adorable and very functional…I love these things).
I ate two, and they were amazing. I even said out loud, “Seriously! These are amazing!” I was amazed because it was so easy, and so quick, and SOOOOOOOOO good. The saltiness of the feta and pickled asparagus balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the zucchini, squash, and carrots. It was juicy and so flavorful. I will make this, and eat this regularly from this day forward. It is a new favorite.
Here is what I used:
Zucchini and Yellow Squash and Organic Carrots
Organic Extra Firm Tofu
I also used Pickled Asparagus, but I forgot to take their picture. Sorry. I hope you make this. You can't let time be an excuse because it takes like 2.5 seconds.
xoxo,
Ronda
