Day Two in Ruth’s Kitchen

Today is a busy day that started late. Sean had a boiled egg in a cup, with a dab of butter and a pinch of salt. He also had toast, orange juice and on top of all that, he had a hot chocolate drink!!

Niall had juice, cornflakes and toast.

I had my usual, which is two crackers, yogurt, hot water & milk.

I know it is a strange mixture, but about six years ago I began to feel very tired. I would get up, make beds, teach Sean and would be fit to fall into the bed at twelve… I gave up drinking tea and my energy levels soared. After about a week they came down to normal so I stayed off the tea. However, I missed the hot drink, couldn’t stomach hot water on it’s own, so settled for hot water and milk. Sounds awful but I like it!

For lunch Sean had roast potatoes and chicken with butter and salt that was left over from yesterday. (He loved it!)

Niall got himself a snack.

I had a salad, one roast potato and a fried egg. (Not all together! I had the salad for brunch)

This evening we are a busy lot. Niall has the Church Christian radio show tonight and I am hosting the women’s meeting in my home so I plan to make a lasagne and eat it over the next two days…

Of course there will be snacks for the meeting so I will take a photo of that and post it tomorrow!

Here is a photo of something I like about my kitchen. I have it on my windowsill. When I got married almost six years ago a friend gave us a silver photo frame with Proverbs 3:5 inscribed on it.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding”.

My friend Jean stitched the scripture and a pretty “Niall and Ruth” on it and put it into the frame for me. It’s just lovely and reminds me of Mick, (who gave us the frame) Jean and the Lord!

Don’t forget to stop by Ruth’s blog. Thanks for opening your kitchen to us all this week, Ruth!
