Navajo Fry Bread
Sift into a bowl:
4 1/2 cups flour
1/3 c dry milk powder(optional)
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
Stir in:
1 1/2 c water

Navajo Tacos
Spread Navajo Fry Bread with refried beans/other taco toppings (I cooked some onion and green peppers), then top with cheese. Broil until cheese melts.
Sprinkle generously with shredded lettuce.

Second point on the agenda - I need tips on how to make an omelette. Because I keep desiring an omelette but end up eating scrambled eggs with toppings.

In the spirit of enjoying food and not taking it for granted, I'd like to leave you with a quote from Bonhoeffer'sLife Together:
God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless attitude of ours in which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste, or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

I challenge you to eat your meals with someone else - not standing up - slowly, putting your fork down in between bites - focused on the food and not the television/radio/dogs. (Well, maybe dogs, if that's who you're eating with...You know who you are...) THIS is the day the Lord has made (Psalm 118:24) - if we want to know joy, it must be THIS day. Today! Let us rejoice and be glad in it - in all of it, including the meals.
