A Scrambled Prayer Request

Last night after fussing before and over supper on a client's hacked website that I restored, and then spending the rest of the evening looking for answers about the eCommerce site I've been trying to build to sell my brother Tom's diecast models, I concluded that perhaps it is time to ask my friends to also pray for me.

I have so many projects on the go; ebooks to polish and some to set up, the rebuilding of the novel site, which has been on hold while I work on the ebooks to go there, learning to market via Pinterest, re-starting the eCommerce site - now for about the 5th or 6th time! Plus now the extra pockets of time I need to find for the garden over the summer months. It all ads up when you look at the whole ball of wax! (Maybe it's best not to do that too often).

But if you are inclined to pray for friends - such as me, please ask the LORD to grant me wisdom and discernment and also much patience when I have to search and dig for answers. I know it all adds to my knowledge base, some victories would sure be encouraging.

Blessings on You, and Thanks,
I pray for many of my friends too. But if you have a special request, do let me know.

What Good are Green Onions?

Some people don't know what to do with green onions (also known as scallions). Others, like Chinese and other Asian cultures, just love green onions in many of their recipes.

My Mom liked to put them into soups, especially the spring vegetable soups. I also have made soups where the main ingredients are diced potatoes, maybe some chunks of sausage, and the green onions. Like Mom, I also like to put in a good splash of buttermilk (about 1/2 to 1 cup) into the pot before getting it ready to seve at the table.

I also chop them up and use them when making a sandwich spread out of tuna or canned salmon.

With the bumper crop of green onions that keep coming up in my garden every spring, and always trying to enlarge their bed-space, I have more than I can use up.

So yesterday I went to Google to ask if one could dry green onions into a powder for a tea or something like that. None of the sites I checked out mentioned a tea, but yes, you can dry green onions and buzz them in a blender to make a powder. You can then put it into an empty salt or pepper shaker and sprinkle some onto fried eggs, soups, or salads.

Apparently there are some recipes where people like a strong taste of onion, so there you would use the regular onion bulbs - any size. But where you want just a light tang added to the flavour of some dish, that is where the powdered green onion is just what you need.

I'm going to try that out. But I may also decide to offer some to the restaurant across the alley from me. I know I can't use up all that I have. They are plentiful!
