Recipe for meatless Friday:
Sucre a la Creme
There are many different versions/variations.
Basically you can do a recipe like this:
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of sugar (technically it really should be brown but cane sugar or white sugar should also work but the flavour will probably be different)
You put them together and cook them on medium heat stirring occasionally till it reaches softball stage. 235 degrees F. If you haven't a thermometer letting it boil for a minute or so should be good. Or the olden day method of testing for soft ball stage was to put a spoonful of the mixture into cold water and if it stays a soft ball, it is at that stage.
At this point you can use it just as a sauce for cake, bread, whatever. You can take it further though and get out the beater beating it till it is creamy. You can leave it plain or add nuts and stuff, pour it into a tray that has been buttered and let it cool in the freezer. It will be a chewy sweet toffee you can eat straight or put on stuff.
Now you can take it one step further (I have never done so) I am not sure the exact process but you cook it longer and hotter, then pour it out into the tray and it should harden into a crumbly fudge like candy which you can cut into squares.

What is Slow Living?
It's a slower approach to everyday life.
Mindfulness, being aware and present of your surroundings.
It's knowing that faster isn't always better.
Slow living is a connection to your community and a commitment to purpose.
It's also about consuming less and being mindful of what you do consume. This includes food, music, movies, podcasts, social media, and all products.

Recipe for meatless Fridays:
Gnocchi:
1.5 kg of all-purpose potatoes, (peeled weight), around the same size
450 g plain (all-purpose) flour.
Quarter the potatoes and put them to boil until tender. Drain thoroughly.
Put the flour on the wooden table or wooden board and make a well in the center to place the potatoes. With a potato masher you'll mash them and start mixing them with the flour, until you have a dough. Let the dough rest so the gluten doesn't develop due to excessive kneading.
Then roll a "rope" of dough of about 3cm wide. Chop in the size you prefer. Use two fingers to press in the middle of the bits you just chopped and roll them towards you. This will give the gnocchi it's shape. Repeat until you have no dough left.
Cook like any other pasta in salted boiling water.

A wife’s reflection of 10 little things that inspire grace within the sacrament of marriage after 10 years of marriage {on 10/8}:
1. Pray, fast, and sacrifice for one another intentionally. When two people are looking in the same direction—that is towards Heaven—powerful things happen.
2. Never get so comfortable as to lose your manners. A simple please and thank you with a smile brings joy and peace to the home.
3. Honor your husband; refrain from speaking poorly of him.
4. Avoid nagging or trying to take control. He is there to lead. As women we encourage his leadership and chivalry through a holy submission made freely with joy. Expect great things from him and encourage him in his masculinity and his work.
5. Make intimacy a priority and prepare with reverence for one another. It is holy. It is beautiful. It is good. It is life giving.
6. Make an effort each day to find a little time to speak friend to friend. At times more deeply, sharing hopes and dreams, and other times quite simply asking how he is feeling or how his day was. Then listen. Deep friendship is built on a shared life and vulnerability.
7. Read out loud or listen to a talk together. Growing together intellectually brings about fruitful conversation that raises the mind to higher things and leads to interesting conversation.
8. Laugh together and laugh often. I love dancing around the living room in the evening, drinking wine, and picking an activity to do together. Find your favorite way to “play” and make a date of it.
9. Leave no stone unturned. Never let something fester or anger take root. It is worth discussing and working through what is uncomfortable and hard because love is worth fighting for. When things are challenging we like to remind each other: “We are on the same team.”
10. And finally, seek to serve one another. I have started to recognize this as the “prayer of marriage”. When we serve the other and make the other happy with little sacrifices and acts of service, we are fueling and proving love with works. We often think about serving our children well but what about the value of serving our husbands too?
