blueberry cobbler's the most recent baking project with christy. we bought a 2-cup bag of frozen blueberries- strain your eyes & you'll see a decent amount of the juice in the pic... initially wondered if it would be too much. but we decided that was actually its strong point- kept it from being sickly sweet & made it just the right level of moist! so, if you try it, & you go with frozen blueberries, once thawed, let any juice from the bag go where it will. another thing i love about this recipe is the touch of cinnamon on top! (and take note of christy's sweet engagement ring :)here's the recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/very-best-blueberry-cobbler/detail.aspx
and some food for thought from c.s. lewis. currently reading his letters to an american lady. despite never having met in person, their conversation appears to have run the gamut. a lot of chit-chat, but certainly also the depth that the man can't help but go to. check it out on amazon / enjoy the quote below.
"we should mind humiliation less if we were humbler. it is, at any rate, a form of suffering which we can try to offer, in our small way, along with the supreme humiliation of Christ Himself. it is the humble and meek who have all the blessings in the magnificat."
this may've been written in response to some humiliating experience the "american lady" had informed him of, but the book only includes lewis's side of the correspondence. in any case, i was challenged. and have a renewed hope that pride & selfishness, by degrees, may die!
"thanks be to God- through Jesus Christ our Lord!" -romans 7:25
That is a great way to see pride. Lewis knows how to bring it down to brass tax. If we see and understand the supreme humiliation of Christ, and seek to replicate that in our own lives we will be able to move closer and closer to humility.
