Goldilocks just reminded me of another word that she knows: moon! We just came outside to wait on the rest of the family to get home. I'm so glad it cools off so well in the evenings. She's picking a bouquet of tea roses, watching the birds, and scolding the dogs. "Dogs! No, no, no!" I'm not sure what they've done that she thinks is so terrible. They are just lying in the yard waiting for the van to drive by and into the driveway.
Tonight is the last installment in the 8 Steps to Wellness program our church has put on the last several months. This morning I thought I was well enough to go, but about lunchtime I figured out that I only wanted to spend time in bed or on the couch. Right before they left I took some mediation so I could be upright and take care of Goldilocks while they were gone. The Man is one of the presenters tonight, so I didn't think it would work out well for him to take her along.
We don't have as many helpers with this month's program so last night I was asked if I had any thoughts for a centerpiece. The meal has a oriental theme, so this morning I got up and made these (yes, I'm fully aware that the origin of these is here in America).
They are "promise cookies" and each one has a Bible verse tucked inside.
Since the food served at the wellness seminars is always vegan, I followed/adapted this recipe. The instructions didn't say anything about them not being crisp! After a few trials and temperature adjustments I got something that looked like a fortune cookie, but they had the texture of a crepe. A gummy crepe. A few were crisp. A few were too crisp. It was agreed that they need more experimentation, but considering I've probably only eaten a dozen fortune cookies in my life, I don't think we'll spend a lot of time on it.
It's a good thing they are just for looking at. They are edible and quite tasty. However, with the broad range of textures, none of which resembled a fortune cookie, I told The Man to forewarn everyone that they may not wish to actually eat them.
"Are those for me?" asked G. So, when I was finished with the ones for the centerpiece. I threw together a gluten free/flax free/soy free version of the vegan fortune cookies for G and J to eat or not eat.
Sometimes we joke that we eat food with nothing in it. Heh.
