As 1 Corinthians 15:17,20 says, "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins....But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." Because of the resurrection, I am assured of salvation from my sins and the hope of eternal life. Amen!
Good Friday and Easter services went smoothly, and I thank God for the privilege and blessing of being able to serve. May He continue to use me for His Work.
Easter dinner with my family also went fairly well. I made:
- Turkey Vegetable soup
- Turkey - it turned out fairly juicy. I roasted it breast-side down; and while the rule of thumb was generally 4 lbs/hour of cooking time, I leaned more towards 5 lbs/hour. It worked well for the meat that cooked faster, like the turkey breast; but, I had to further broil the dark meat.
- Sides - cranberry sauce, gravy (from the drippings), and stuffing
- Vegetables - Asparagus and Spinach and Sweet Potato Fries
- Bread - this did not turn out well. Being a healthy low-carb package, it had a really strong oat bran/wheat germ taste. And, it didn't really rise enough.
- Strawberry cheesecake tarts - I went with the simple approach - filling: cream cheese, egg, vanilla; and topping: strawberry, with sauce of "melted" strawberry with honey
