The Recipe Explanation and Masculine Withdrawals

Some people have expressed concern that I have been posting cooking stories without also including the matching recipes.  Please let me explain.

First, I did not know it was important to include the recipe.  Actually, I wasn't aware that anyone would be interested, probably because I've never been interested:)  The truth is, I'm brand new to this whole world of cooking information sharing.

Second, now that I do know sharing the recipe is the appropriate thing to do, I still will not be able to do it.  I'm walking a fine line as it is.  The day I actually post a recipe on this blog I will also just go ahead and subscribe to Better Homes and Gardens, resign from all of my fantasy football teams, and start calling my hair gel "product." 

At the risk of typing too much, the thought actually crossed my mind this week to add a cooking category to my sidebar.  I was ashamed of myself:(

And I didn't think I would share this, but to stay with this theme of full disclosure...this week I bought a membership at Costco so that I could start buying more groceries.

Please pray for me as I learn to navigate this new way of life:)

Brad, I thought by now you would be utilizing your unique talents and strengths rather than your weaknesses. God has gifted you with leadership, apostolic ministry, faith, preaching, etc.

The Word of the Lord (speaking through His servant Michael) says, "Don't cook! Don't try! Continue with fast food and restaurants! Search, yes, search far and wide for a suitable helpmate!" Thus saith the Lord through His servant Michael.

Personal Bible Study for Brad -Genesis 2:18 and Esther 2:2

I don't think that I have even P. Brad's "etc.", but I still want someone to tell me, "Don't cook! Don't try!" :>

Costco? How many people are you planning on cooking for? (I've already heard through the grapevine that you have huge jars of Ragu and peanut butter at home)

...and don't listen to Michael...he secretly wants the original beef stew recipe to cook his venison with:)

Esther 2:2? That's kind of gross!

[Brad]

Could you imagine trying to implement Esther 2.2? That would be tricky:)

Costco??? Are you one of those people like Paul who when he does something new he doesn't just do it, but goes all out and crazy with it?

P.S. Forego the Ragu. Make your own sauce. It's really easy and I have a great recipe.

P.S.S. If you follow Michael's Esther advice you might be single forever. I would follow Sister Clay's advice, "shake the bushes."
