lemon balm, pic of the day #14



This is lemon balm. Lemon balm can be used for: air refresher, sachets, and tea. If you have constant stomach aces, then drink lemon balm tea around once a day and that should help.

PS: I found out about the tea because I used to have to take it and it HELPED!!!!

pie recipe, pic of the day #7




Me and my sister made 2 HUGE chocolate pudding pies. Here is the recipe for the pudding:

4 cups milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 TBSP butter
Place ingredients in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, bring to boil, while stirring.

1 cup milk
7 TBSP cornstarch

In a separate bowl, mix milk with cornstarch. Set aside.

12 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla

Beat egg yolks with a fork, add in vanilla. Slowly pour mixture into bowl with milk and cornstarch.

After saucepan ingredients are brought to a boil, add in egg mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Pour into bowl to cool, place plastic wrap directly onto mixture and set in fridge to cool at least 4 hours.

What we did to make pies:

We made the pudding and put it in graham cracker crusts and let sit for around ten minutes. While it sat we used the egg whites and made a HUGE batch of meringue. After the meringue was finished we heaped it on the pies and baked them for around 5-7 minutes. After it was baked we put it in the fridge until it was set.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus is our anchor

Yesterday night I went to Awana . In counsel time we talked about Jesus being our anchor. We are boats, salvation is the rope that attaches us to Jesus the anchor. The water is our life. When our life is difficult it is like a storm at sea. And when our life is calm it is like when the water is smooth but the boat still needs an anchor. This illustration shows that even during calm times we still need Jesus to keep us in place.
