FIF~St. Patrick’s Day Edition

Mar-9-2007 By mylifeasannie

Today is favorite ingredient Friday ~ St. Patrick’s Day edition, which means either a green food recipe or an irish recipe…

My maiden name was Bailey. I really liked having Bailey as my last name. It was easier to spell than my married name, and no one asked me to spell it repeatedly… I liked that name so much that I named my son Bailey, John Bailey… Anyway, my dad and many of his sisters look Irish, with red hair etc.

Today was a busy day and I am trying to keep my eyes opened long enough to get this typed out. After taking Izzy to school this morning, I took Amanda to get her passport. It took forever! She is going to Canada this Summer with our church to do mission work in Montreal. They are also going to stop off at Niagara Falls. Needless to say she is very excited… It is pretty much all she is focused on right now. Hopefully her passport will come within the 10 weeks estimated. (Her trip is in 13 weeks). Izzy had a good day at school. She worked in the walkable with her pt Camilla and did a really good job concentrating on moving her little legs. Later today Jon from the dme co. came to measure for her new stroller chair. We are getting a raspberry colored stroller. I am excited mainly because her current stroller chair is so incredibly heavy that lifting it in and out of my car every day is quite a job! I’m not complaining, I am blessed to have such strong arms. But it will be great to have a lighter ‘new’ stroller. Tonight we did her program and again she did great! Lots of smiles! She also did really good at the assisted crawl. Emelia has become my #1 helper on this part of therapy! She is always cheerful and ready to help.

Okay, on to the recipe…

green key lime pie.

1-1/4 cups crushed pretzels
1/4 cup sugar
6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice
1 env. KOOL-AID Lemon Lime Unsweetened Soft Drink Mix
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
MIX crushed pretzels, sugar and butter. Press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
COMBINE condensed milk, lime juice and drink mix in large bowl until well blended. Remove 1/2 cup whipped topping; set aside. Gently stir in remaining 2-1/2 cups whipped topping. Pour into crust.
FREEZE 6 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature 15 min. or until pie can be cut easily. Garnish with reserved whipped topping before serving. Store leftover pie in freezer.

Friday’s Feast ~134~

Appetizer
What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different?
I usually head to bed before 10 p.m. I put Izzy down after therapy in the evening and then blog a bit, clean the kitchen, make coffee for the morning, lay out clothes… and go to bed asap!!! I love sleep! I would like to sleep more, I would love to stay in bed all day or all weekend! I daydream about sleeping.
Soup
When it comes to advice, do you give more or receive more?
I tend to give more advice than I receive. Anyone who knows me well also knows I am probably too willing to give my input on any situation. I do always have the best intentions and hopefully help…
Salad
Describe a memorable meal you’ve had.
The first thing that comes to mind was communion last night. I went to a different church and the communion meal was very meaningful and memorable.
If I were to think of a memorable meal otherwise it would probably be when I was dating Matt and I fixed him dinner at his apartment… the light fixture fell in the middle of the table… that’s a memory :) or any of many delicious meals at mom’s house/table… she’s a great cook.
Main Course
Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something.
The Mark of the Lion Series by Francine Rivers. I loved the way the historical biblical fiction made the characters in the bible come alive. I really like all the books by this author and feel that they changed the way I think…
Dessert
What is your favorite type of fruit juice?
I would have to say NONE! I hate hate hate fruit and juice… I guess if koolaid counts or sprite maybe? Otherwise I do not drink fruit juice. (except for communion & that’s different).
