Shrimps Beard Recipe From My New 1954 Cookbook

Did you ever have a favorite food that you forgot was your favorite food? You don't have it for a while, you don't go to that recent anymore or you just have other recipes you're trying?

When I found this 1954 cookbook last week, I had actually forgotten how much I love shrimp. It's always been one of my go-to proteins, but we just haven't had it for a very long time. So the Shrimps Beard recipe practically jumped off the page at me.

It's a little labor intensive, so I don't recommend making it if you're in a time crunch. But it's so good that you definitely won't care how long it takes. Trust me.

Ingredients:
2lbs frozen, shell-on and deveined jumbo shrimp, thawed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried mustard
1/2 olive oil

1. In a large plastic bag in a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours.

2. Preheat broiler.

3. While broiler heats, thread five shrimp on a grilling skewer and line them up over a large baking dish.

4. Place baking dish under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and the shells are browned.

5. Remove baking dish from under the broiler and allow to cool slightly, until you can handle them. Peel the shells and toss with Old Bay Seasoning or another southern-style seasoning. Serve with pasta and veggies.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
