Leeks For Dinner



                                                                        Everyday is a brand new day,
                                                                         everyday is a journey.





Without an end or bound
    Thy life lies all outspread in light;
      Our lives feel Thy life all around,
    Making our weakness strong, our darkness bright;
  Yet is it neither wilderness nor sea,
  But the calm gladness of a full eternity.
F. W. FABER.


Now leeks have always been a vegetable that I had in soup. In fact, I never knew that it was a vegetable, but more of a garnish to cook with like parsley or chives. It wasn't until I watched on PBS " A Chef's Life" and saw a recipe for the leek over rice. 

Being vegetarians, we are always looking for new veggies to explore and widen our palette, so I decided to give it a try. Of course, we modified the recipe to fit our food lifestyle and choices. This has become one of our favorites and we make it often. 

Basically all you do is saute some chopped onions and leeks. Add salt and pepper. Serve over white rice. You can add a poached egg on top. That's our version and we love it. 

Our day, our weekend, has been pretty quiet and relaxing. Recently, our Church has been in the news and not in a pleasant way, either. When a Church leader is exposed or there have been allegations of misconduct, that act casts a dark gloom over the Church and it's family. So we sat at Supper today, disappointment in our hearts for what was happening. 

It is not up to us to judge anyone's actions, but we can have our own opinions on the matter. I am deeply saddened and right now, we have no idea where we are going from this point on. Or what the future may look in regards to this matter. 

Mealtimes and especially Sundays, should be spent in happy thoughts and conversations with your loved ones. For us, as we are having one of our favorite meals, has been a little downcast. Whatever happened there, I hope an act of confession and forgiveness occurs. We don't have to witness it, but people's lives have been broken and they need mending. 

I hope your Sunday meal has will be pleasant and filled with great company. Have a blessed day everyone.
