Round the Sphere Again: Whatever You Eat or Drink

With Purpose
On slowing down at the dinner table. (The Irish Calvinist)

With Pumpkin
I made these cookies (Mennonite Girls Can Cook) with the canned pumpkin not used in the pie for Thanksgiving  dinner.  Except that I didn’t frost them because by the time I got around to it, the cookies already been pronounced “very good” and I didn’t see the point of making a whole batch of frosting for what was already only a half batch of cookies. They expecially liked them dunked in tea and are already asking me to make more. 

Pumpkins, you know, are one of God’s good gifts and so are good cookie recipes.

I love pumpkin, and I saw that recipe, too. I have not got around to trying it.

I agree with the Irish Calvinist wholeheartedly! It's easy to let family dinner time dwindle into a rushed event, but the benefit of taking time to enjoy the food and each other with an actively thankful heart to God, glorifies Him. I'm glad for the nudge.

And I'm going to have to make those pumpkin cookies, but I bet my guys will want the frosting on them!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane Rebecca. The joy that I still feel in my heart just thinking about my wife and and some of our grand daughters baking this time of the year for Christmas and to make a long story short, some of the joy is short lived when I start thinking of all God's Children who will be doing without. Of course, we Christians and other good people do what we feel is reasonable but in our heart of hearts, it usually is never enough but just the same we still do what we can and thank God for the little sample of heaven on earth He on occasions provides U>S and I'm so thankful for "IT" all.

I hear ya! We sure are blessed are we not Victor?

You can say that again Rebecca! :)

God Bless Peace
