losing a child UPDATE 12/10/2014
A friend of mine sits at the hospital right now with her son, who has been put into a medically induced coma after an asthmatic episode they could not control. From what I understand of it, he is not expected to make it, although the family, and I, and many others continue to pray.
The child is only 8 or 9 years old, my youngest is 12, and my grandchild is nearly 2, but not quite. I cannot even wrap my mind around coping with the loss of either of these.. Well, with the loss of any of my children, 21, 17, 16, 12 and grandbaby 2 moths shy of 2 years old.
It is said that God doesn't give us anything we cant handle, and if this lady loses her child I pray beyond praying that she copes well and finds a way to carry on. More than that I pray that she doesn't lose her baby. I beg that you pray too. But I dont think that is something i could cope with. That would be the ebd of me.
I think I could lose every material thing I have, I think I could even survive losing my spouse, but to lose one of my precious babies, or grandbabies would seal my fate. Id drink myself to death within a few months. I cant even imagine what this woman is going through right now, I hate that I cannot help her beyond praying..
all of this is to appeal to you for prayers, well wishes, good vibes, whatever you send out send some her way, beause a mother should never know the pain of living longer than her child.. and while you are at it say a word of thanks if you are one of the fortunate ones who has not suffered this kind of ultimate, unbearable, begging, praying, injustice of losing a child you bore...
Thank you...
I am pleased to update that the young man I posted about was put into a medically induced coma for his asthma and it was touch and go for almost a week, but by the grace of God, and some great doctors he made it through and is home with his family now. I haent seen him, but I am told he is doing great.

to brine or not to brine
I have never brined my meat, until "the turkey" I have to admit I was a little intimidated by "the turkey" It wasnt a whole bird, but the breast, and it was frozen with kids and hubby begging me to make it for the nights dinner. They had won it the night before at a turkey shoot, and proud of their prize they wanted it immediately, well 1. I have never cooked a turkey, and 2. it was still frozen solid with a gravy packet stuffed in its cavity. So I got online reading and trying to find a way to thaw the gird quicker, or a method of cooking that would allow me to cook from frozen, and that is when I stumbled onto the idea of brining. I read various things, most that called for soaking overnight in a brine, but I needed it now. So this is what I did with pleasing results, as it was all eaten and my son said it was so delicious that when that turkey hit his taste buds he started singing "amazing grace" lol Flattery will get you everywhere son.. I love that boy..
My brine was a half cup of salt, a half cup of brown sugar, about a tablespoon of smoked paprika, a table spoon smoked black pepper, and half cup of lemon juice, I mixed my brine and placed my turkey in it lidded, and set the stove eye to 2 had the bird been thawed I might have set it to one, but i wanted it to be warm enough to thaw the frozen bird. It stayed in the pot of brining solution on 2 for about an hour and a half every once in a while id flip the bird so it would thaw evenly, making sure every side was nearest the heat for some amount of time. The size of the bird might take longer or shorter times to thaw in your brine.. After the bird had completely thawed in my brine I I stuffed the cavity with a mizture of 2 sticks softened butter, tbsp each of smoked paprika and smoked black pepper, 1/3 cup crumbled bacon the a splash more lemon juice and about 2 tbsp bacon grease I mixed all this up rubbed the outter skin with the mixture, stuffed the mixture along with two lemons sliced in 4ths into the cavity, wrapped it snuggly in a tinfoil blanket.. (not covered the baking dish, actually swaddled my turkey in a thick tinfoil blanket, and
stuck it in my oven at 350 for two hours cavity side up so it would hold the mixture, and then 2 hours cavity side down so the mixture would run out and saturate the outside of the bird as well. After the 4 hours cooking I uncovered the bird massaged him with a little more lemon and butter and baked skin side up until he got a lovely golden brown suntan. It was without a doubt the most tasty, most moist bird I have ever eat, and believe it or not being a rookie i have to say I cooked the hell outta that turkey.. I better not let the extended family know how well I did, they might expect me to take on the turkey cooking every year... With a family dinner of 30 or so people Im not up for that challenge... How do you cook your bird?

The perfect deviled eggs
My daughter and I love deviled eggs. Lucky for us we are the only ones in the house that like them so we don't have to share. I thought I would share some of my favorite variations on deviled eggs with you.
Today I made a new mix and I haveto say these are not deviled, they are angeled.. I say this because theya re heavenly.. So my angeled eggs have in them
smoked paprika (one of my newly discovered and also new favorite spice)
a little prepared mustard
a tiny bit of horserashish
salt
mayo
and dill weed
(I should have took the pic before I tinfoiled them, but to late now.. On the bright side we have the deviled egg quivelent of mc donalds "cheese paper" we have "egg foil" I call it......)
OMG they are to die for
We also enjoy
just the egg
blue cheese
and sale and pepper
or try
ranch
a dab of prepared mustard
finely chopped bacon
mayo
salt
pepper
we also enjoy pickled eggs and its a nice change of pace to pulverize a couple pickled eggs in the ninja and add that to our basic mayo egg yolk salt and pepper recipe..
what is your favorite deviled egg recipe? They are so versatile Im sure you guys have some really great recipes to share.. so come on tell me how you like em....
