A Tasty Recipe, Some Crochet, and a Whale of a Story!

I have been crocheting a lot, but it doesn't show much because during the summer, I like to work on cotton thread and I am not so quick with it like I am with the large crochet hooks. Still, I am hoping I will soon be able to post some things
to share with you all.
Meanwhile, I would like to share this.

A new recipe, this one is also very savory and easy to make.
Try it, you'll enjoy it!

Veggetarian Chopped Chunks
1 1/2 cups of oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup vital gluten (you can find that at a health food store)
1/2 cup ground raw potatoes
2 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
3 Tbsps. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
5 slices whole wheat bread, toasted and pulverized in the blender, crusts and all
1/8 tsp. sage powder or marjoram
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
Salt to tast
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup garganzos or soy beans soaked overnight
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Soak garbanzos or soy beans overnight, drain water and put in the blenderwith chopped raw potatoes, celery, parsley and sunflower seeds, ground in the blender into a pulp using a little water.Scrape into a bowl, add all the rest of the ingredients, mix well until all the seasonings are well incorporated and forminga soft dough. With your hands, form cutlets or chunks. Prepare a cookie sheet or any other baking tray that you have. Bake at 300 degrees F turning several times until a fork that is inserted in them comes out completely dry. You can use the cutlets with a sauce as a side dish, like meaty dumplings in your beans, you can add them to your pasta dishes, add them to Pita bread sandwhiches, etc.

Always remember that although life is hard, God is good. Turn to Him for your needs and He will not forsake you.


I love lace, crocheted, knitted, macrame lace, needlelace, you name it!
I am currently working on some things but it takes so long to make them!
I keep looking at some beautiful patterns to keep me inspired. . .


I got an email from a dear friend of mine who lives in Australia. We used to work together when she lived here in the States and then she married someone from Down Under. . .but no hard feelings, he has been a very good husband. This is a very touching, real story, worth reading.

The Whale Story

If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle,you would have read about a female humpback whalewho had become entangled in a spider web of crab trapsand lines.She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that causedher to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards ofline rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a linetugging in her mouth.A fisherman spotted her just east of the FarraloneIslands(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help.Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she wasso bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her ...
a very dangerous proposition.One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyouscircles.
She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it was the most incrediblybeautiful experience of their lives.The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye wasfollowing him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you, and all those you love,be so blessed and fortunate ...to be surrounded by peoplewho will help you get untangledfrom the things that are binding you.And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.I wish you well, my friend.

Well, that is all for now, take care!
