Baskets of Blessings!\u00a0 Well I just got out of church and can I say.. This is the day that the Lord has made, I WILL rejoice and be glad in it!\u00a0 This has been a great week for me, I was blessed to spend a few days at our house in the Texas Hill Country with a girlfriend and we just talked and talked till our ears hurt!\u00a0 Chilled on the Frio River and just caught up on girl talk.\u00a0\u00a0 Aren’t those kind of friends great.\u00a0 Oh but I was in constant communication with my digi BFF Tabby!\u00a0 Can I also put in a plug for our Book Club here at GS?\u00a0 Its just a fun way to chat about what we are reading and I am so loving my ereader that I can’t stand it.\u00a0 So nothing better for me than relaxing and reading in bed.\u00a0 Oh and for any of you who know that I started jogging about 3 months ago, I am still a “joggernut” and am up to running for 3 sets of 18 min with a 1 min walk in between.\u00a0 And I hit the big -30 lbs!\u00a0 Whoot!\u00a0 I am going to try to find a zumba class close and check that out and even a yoga class.\u00a0 I guess when you are my age, you got some time to do those things and now I want to experience some other modes of exercise.\u00a0 So this week I didn’t see any new questions so I just thought I would share a favorite reciepe with you chikaroos!\u00a0 Hope you enjoy it and it makes quite a bit so great for covered dishes at church or family reunions.<\/p>\n

First, take a mallet and break up the noodles before you open the packages.\u00a0 If they are not broken up, they will not break up after you have sauted them.\u00a0 Saute the two packages of noodles with the almonds in a small amount of oil.\u00a0 When brown, remove from stove.\u00a0 Add this to the sliced cabbage.\u00a0 Pour the seasoning from one package of noodles over the salad.\u00a0 Add 1 bunch of green onions to the salad.\u00a0 Make dressing and pour over cabbage.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
