we decided we don't cook enough and are pretty bored of what we usually eat (whether home-made or eating out).. so .... our new years resolution for 2014 is to try a new recipe every week.. so far we've done some jamie olivers roasted vegetables and right now we're making cornish-like pasties.
apparently, people are very militant about exactly what a cornish pastie is so our's are cornish-like because dammit, we wanted peas and carrots and whatever seasoning we wanted to stick in there too!.
smells delicious and can't wait to eat them.. i also invented a new dish using a leftover half-tin of garden peas and a slice of bread.
Here you go Quelly!
1 medium onion – finely chopped.
1lb potatoes – cooked and diced.
250g cooked (not pickled) beetroot.
340g tin of Corned Beef – cubed.
1 handful of fresh chopped parsley (or ½ that of dried parsley).
1 tsp paprika, black pepper, olive oil for frying.
Tan the onion in oil, throw in cubed beetroot, chuck in the rest and heat thoroughly all the way through. Add a good wodge of butter and brown the edges. (cos they are the tastiest bits!)
Enjoy Quelly!

community service.
the department's staff provided services to the community in diverse ways during the year under review.
I wonder if they are being paid to visit prisons in other countries as well?

i'm looking to see what the 1985 version of the kit says at matthew 27:52-53. i'm looking for the word-for-word greek/english part.
i have a 1969 kit, so i just need to compare to see if there's been any changes between the two.
if you can send me a scan of it, pm me.

This article is a hoot, especially # 10!
a young, progressive, kind elder wants to have a chat with me on sunday after the meeting.
we've talked before and been quite open about the judgemental attitudes 'we' have as witnesses, and he was completely in agreement, stating that he's never understood the beard thing among other issues, and wants to see the society moving forward by change..
i've no doubt he just wants to encourage me to up my hours or reach out again, but it's nerve wracking, as i know i'll say something i'll regret.
Record it?

how can i love people that dont really know me?
how can i love people i dont really know?.
thats not love.
Great post Noontide. I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I am getting sick and tired of trying to find my 'real' mum, the person she should be. I cant even remember the last time she hugged me. Even if she did, it would feel so very awkward. I can say I dont love mine either. Wow.
ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.
what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?
here are some i knew of.... .
In our congo you counted time if you went on service with an unbaptized person. Time on the min, and then time 'encouraging' the non dunked. Twas easy time!
