Book club book

This month we are reading the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel.

I love this book for what it makes you think about. It is a true story about a boy's experience in the concentration camps. It is an easy read, so get reading!

Ward Halloween party tonight

Don't forget, tonight at 6pm is the ward Halloween party! They have a chili cook off, hot dogs, cupcakes, and then a trunk-or-treat! See you there!!

Parade

We are having a parade. Tell your neighbors and friends. It will be at 5:30 and we will have everyone meet at the park. Apple cider will be served and then kids can go trick or treating after. Hopefully people will show up. Hope to see you there!

Parade around duck creek

Does anyone want to have a little parade with our kids in their costumes around duck creek? If so, let's pick a day and time, and then we can even announce it at church if we want to. Let me know what you all think!!

Walking

It is getting a bit chilly in the morning. We were thinking of having a walk at 4:00 and we can continue the walk at 10:00 as well. I love the exercise but more then anything it is fun to visit. If there are times which will work better just let us know.
Thanks!!!

This will be a fun way for all of us to stay in touch with what is going on and when it is. I am going to put a poll up to see when we want to have recipe club each month.

Chili’s Fajita Marinade

Liquid smoke is indespensible in this recipe...well worth the buy!

Ingredients:

Marinade:

¼ cup fresh lime juice (bottle works too) 1/3 cup water

2 Tbs vegetable oil 2 large cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp salt 3 tsp vinegar (white)

2 tsp soy sauce ¼ tsp chili powder(more for spicier)

¼ tsp cayenne pepper(more if you like it hot) ½ tsp liquid smoke

¼ tsp black pepper dash onion powder

1 1 ½ lbs chicken slices or top sirloin

To Serve:

1 onion 1-2 red, yellow, or green peppers

1 tsp soy sauce 2 tbs water

½ tsp lime juice dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinate chicken (atleast 2 hours) or beef (overnight).

To grill: Grill 4-5 minutes per side. Slice onion and peppers. Fry in a preheated fry pan at medium high heat until softened but still crisp. Add soy sauce, water, lime juice and salt and pepper. Cook another 3-4 minutes. Slice meat thinly. Serve onion and peppers and salsa in a tortilla. May also serve with sour cream and guacamole.

To cook in a skillet: Cook chicken strips in a skillet, turning until almost cooked through. Add sliced onion and bell pepper. Cover the skillet until the onion and pepper are softened but still crisp. Since it’s all in a skillet, the vegetables cook in the residue marinade, so I usually don’t add the extra soy sauce, lime juice, water, and salt and pepper that the recipe calls for.

For recipe club I added the extra soy sauce, lime juice, water, and salt and pepper and I thought it was a little too strong. Usually I don't and we love it!
