Just a Daisy in the Meadow

Last evening the ladies of our house, namely Loraine and I, ventured forth to purchase needed grocery items. It was a very relaxing time! Even growing up I remember having a hard time keeping up with mom at the grocery store, and now I find myself doing the same, dashing through aisles, trying to beat time.

Why is it that when we are on a date or Grandma is babysitting or we pay for a sitter that I subconsciously have to get back just as soon as possible? Somehow when Japheth watches the children I can relax alot easier.

Anyway on the way home, we prayed this prayer, (I hate coming home to a messy house, and I left it in an awful disarray ) “Dear God, please have Papa clean up the house.” Usually, he does something special with them outside or whatever and the house is just as bad or worse when I get home, but they’ve had fun! Anyway last evening our prayer was abundantly answered! The house was picked up and the hard floors mopped! Praise God for a caring husband!!!

Ranch Dressing though was not on our grocery list because we have the best receipe, given to us by a friend! Here tis:

Ranch Dressing

3\4 cup mayo or salad dressing (or can sub. with some yogurt)

1\4 sour cream ( I don’t always put this in )

2 tsp white wine vinegar or white vinegar

1 tsp - 1tbsp dried parsley (fresh is BEST) Can you tell I LOVE fresh parsley!

1\4 tsp pepper

1\4 - 1 tsp onion powder ( to taste)

1\4 tsp dry mustard

1 clove garlic or 1\2 - 1 tsp garlic powder

Add buttermilk ( I usually just use milk) to get desired consistency. Can also add Parmesan cheese if desired.
