Monday in October ~ Day after the Feast of the Protection of the Mother of God

A beautiful liturgy yesterday;
last night a simple meal
of grilled cheese for my DH
and scrambled eggs and toast for me.
Tea of course and then washing up after.

I  brought
white chili to church.
My first meal contribution to my new parish.

Recipe:
3 Cans Great White Northern Beans rinsed well
Cut up cooked organic chicken (3 or so cups ~ my sister's recipe
calls for 3 to 5 cooked chicken breasts)
24 ounces of mild salsa
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
Put in crock pot.
I had it on high for about 3 + hours during liturgy.
Serve with grated cheese (we used sharp cheddar)
and tortilla chips.
It went over well,
and tasted great
I am thankful to say!

My Ortho-husband and I were given
this plant as a gift.
It bloomed yesterday on the
Feast of the Protection of the Mother of God.
A Violet-blue colour!
This Feast is very special to us
and we have a detail of this Festal icon always on our buffet...

More tea today.

Yummy Pizza.

Organizing and arranging.

It takes a long time to put together a house;
today I made some more progress
and now my beloved is on his way home from work!
