Deep Fried Butter?!?
How to make your own deep-fried butter
04:39 PM CDT on Friday, September 4, 2009
You have to wait until the State Fair of Texas starts on Sept. 25 to try Abel Gonzales's version of fried butter.
Also Online State Fair of Texas' contenders include deep-fried butter, peaches
Guidelive.com: State Fair of Texas
Database: Texas' Favorite Recipes
We couldn't wait, so we asked food stylist Karen Elizabeth Watts to fry up her own version. She says it's a two-step process, but well worth the effort. The butter center must be made ahead and frozen to ensure perfect crispy outside with a creamy center.
Cathy Barber
Fried Butter
Butter center:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese
3 tablespoons berry jam (flavor of choice)
Cream butter, sugar, cream cheese and jam together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid, at least two hours.
Batter:
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup chilled club soda (plus up to 1/4 cup additional if batter is too thick)
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Fold chilled club soda into dry mixture. Do not overmix; batter will be slightly lumpy and thick.
Heat 3 1/2 cups peanut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, to 350 F.
Working with frozen butter balls, skewer frozen balls one at a time and dip in batter. Place battered butter ball in hot oil and remove skewer, using a second skewer to dislodge. Fry for 30 to 45 seconds and turn with slotted spoon. Allow battered butter to fry for an additional 30 to 45 seconds or until lightly browned.
Remove fried butter balls from oil with slotted spoon and cool on a rack for at least 1 minute. (I know it will be hard to wait.) Skewer and eat, State-Fair style. Careful, contents of fried butter will remain hot.
Variations:
Garlic Fried Butter: Omit sugar and jam from butter center; add 1 tablespoon garlic powder. Omit sugar from batter.
Plain Fried Butter: Omit jam from butter center.

Hearing Everett
Luke Everett and his brother, Eddie, were children when their family moved to the deserts of Baja California Mexico. They will be here with us to share from their perspective how God used their family in the face of enormous obstacles. The film is a call to action for the “ordinary church member” who may believe that God cannot use them.
This film will be shown at the West Campus of Calvary Baptist Church on Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22 at 6:00 PM. The Saturday showing will feature subtitles in Spanish. Then, on Sunday at 6:30 PM, they will have a showing for the deaf with sign language interpretation.
The West Campus is strategically located at the intersection of Hwy. 801 and Hwy. 158 in Davie County with easy access from exit 180 off interstate 40.
For more information about the showing this weekend visit: http://www.calvarynow.com/templates/System/details.asp?id=44069&PID=608065

A Better Way to Make a Living
http://www.betterwaytomakealiving.com/better_way/index.php
Discover A Better Way To Make A Living...and A Life
Working Americans today are overworked, financially strained, and dissatisfied with their job and lack of balance in their work and lives. What's worse, they see little hope of their circumstances changing.
That's where Peter Bourke's book, A Better Way to Make a Living…and a Life comes in. Peter, through his writing and speaking delivers what many Christians in the workplace need most today:
A way to transform their view of work and where it fits in their lives as Christians by exploring God's view of work as well as the role of purpose, God's calling, and balance in your work-life
A new perspective on today's work environment with both the threats and the countless opportunities represented by the "new normal" and how to thrive and utilize your Christian faith in the workplace
A roadmap for achieving a "peace" of work that explores our work and life priorities
And real-life examples of people who, while still a work in process, have been successful in discovering their God-given talents, and achieving a sense of joy, peace, and balance in their work-life
In short, A Better Way to Make a Living…and a Life provides hope for the majority of the U.S. workforce experiencing job misery or job dissatisfaction.

Gettin' Fit w/ Alan Branch
Why Healthy Nutrition is Important
We recommend you eat healthy 90% of the time. But what is healthy nutrition? And why does healthy nutrition matter anyway? This post will explain why healthy nutrition is important.
Examples of Healthy Nutrition:
Whole, unprocessed foods. These foods come as close as possible to their natural state and are not (or little) processed. 90% of your food intake should consist of whole foods. Examples:
* Meat, Poultry & Fish. Ground round, chicken breast, tuna, mackerel, …
* Dairy. Whole eggs, cottage cheese, plain fat free yogurt, milk, …
* Whole Grains. Oats, rice, quinoa, pasta, …
* Healthy Fats. Olive oil, mixed nuts, fish oil, real butter, …
* Fresh Fruits & Veggies. Spinach, broccoli, bananas, apples, oranges, …
* Frozen/Canned Fruits & Veggies. But only if additive-free.
Examples: pineapple cans without added sugars, pre-cut frozen broccoli, …
Example of Unhealthy Nutrition.
Processed foods. These are altered from their natural state for safety & convenience. Their labels usually have a huge list of ingredients. And they’re filled with salts, sugars, trans-fats, … Examples:
* Packaged Snacks. Chips, cakes, cookies, crackers, sugar coated nuts, …
* Processed Meats. Hot dogs, bologna, sausages, lunch meats, …
* Calorie Beverages. Sodas, fruit juices, sugar alcohol, …
* Pre-made Meals. Frozen meals, cans of ravioli, pizzas, …
* Deep Fried Foods. French fries, fish sticks, fried seafood, …
* Junk Food. Ice cream, Mc Donalds, kebab, …
* And More. Bagels, margarine, sugary breakfast cereals, …
Why Healthy Nutrition is Important.
The easiest way to be sure you’re getting healthy nutrition: prepare your food yourself. This gives you total control over ingredients and thus results. Benefits of healthy
nutrition:
* Fat Loss. Processed foods contain trans-fats & sugars which prevent fat loss. You need to eat whole foods 90% of the time to lose fat.
* Spare Muscle. Eating alkaline whole foods like spinach maintains the acid-base balance in your body and prevents muscle & bone loss.
* More Energy. Eat junk and you’ll feel like junk: upset stomach, bloated, tired, lethargic, … Whole foods will make you feel better.
* Joint & Skin Health. Increasing your intake of fish oil decreases the onset of joint & skin inflammations. Think less tendinitis, less acne, …
* Overall Health. Whole foods don’t have all the sugars, trans- fats, salts & chemicals. Whole foods are also richer in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Which means lower risks of cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes.
You can get away with junk food 10% of the time. Maybe even more. But it’s a slippery slope: easy to get back to your old, bad habits.
Next will be a discussion on portion control....It is a key move in keeping your caloric intake under check.

"Its time to put a fitness expert in your corner."
We recommend you eat healthy 90% of the time. But what is healthy nutrition? And why does healthy nutrition matter anyway? This post will explain why healthy nutrition is important.
Examples of Healthy Nutrition:
Whole, unprocessed foods. These foods come as close as possible to their natural state and are not (or little) processed. 90% of your food intake should consist of whole foods. Examples:
* Meat, Poultry & Fish. Ground round, chicken breast, tuna, mackerel, …
* Dairy. Whole eggs, cottage cheese, plain fat free yogurt, milk, …
* Whole Grains. Oats, rice, quinoa, pasta, …
* Healthy Fats. Olive oil, mixed nuts, fish oil, real butter, …
* Fresh Fruits & Veggies. Spinach, broccoli, bananas, apples, oranges, …
* Frozen/Canned Fruits & Veggies. But only if additive-free.
Examples: pineapple cans without added sugars, pre-cut frozen broccoli, …
Example of Unhealthy Nutrition.
Processed foods. These are altered from their natural state for safety & convenience. Their labels usually have a huge list of ingredients. And they’re filled with salts, sugars, trans-fats, … Examples:
* Packaged Snacks. Chips, cakes, cookies, crackers, sugar coated nuts, …
* Processed Meats. Hot dogs, bologna, sausages, lunch meats, …
* Calorie Beverages. Sodas, fruit juices, sugar alcohol, …
* Pre-made Meals. Frozen meals, cans of ravioli, pizzas, …
* Deep Fried Foods. French fries, fish sticks, fried seafood, …
* Junk Food. Ice cream, Mc Donalds, kebab, …
* And More. Bagels, margarine, sugary breakfast cereals, …
Why Healthy Nutrition is Important.
The easiest way to be sure you’re getting healthy nutrition: prepare your food yourself. This gives you total control over ingredients and thus results. Benefits of healthy
nutrition:
* Fat Loss. Processed foods contain trans-fats & sugars which prevent fat loss. You need to eat whole foods 90% of the time to lose fat.
* Spare Muscle. Eating alkaline whole foods like spinach maintains the acid-base balance in your body and prevents muscle & bone loss.
* More Energy. Eat junk and you’ll feel like junk: upset stomach, bloated, tired, lethargic, … Whole foods will make you feel better.
* Joint & Skin Health. Increasing your intake of fish oil decreases the onset of joint & skin inflammations. Think less tendinitis, less acne, …
* Overall Health. Whole foods don’t have all the sugars, trans- fats, salts & chemicals. Whole foods are also richer in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Which means lower risks of cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes.

A Review of "Scared"
Scared:A Novel on the Edge of the World
In his first novel, Tom Davis gives a face, a name and a story to the facts about AIDS and orphans that he reported on in two of his previous books, Red Letters and Fields of the Fatherless. Gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, repulsive yet redemptive in the end, this book will undoubtedly open the eyes of the reader to the injustices faced by many of the 150 million orphans who live on our planet. It is a difficult but necessary book to read.
The story revolves around an unlikely relationship between Stuart Daniels, an award-winning photojournalist who has lost sight his life's purpose and Adanna, a young African girl who is prematurely forced into adulthood after AIDS claims the lives of both of her parents. Hunger, sickness and the worst kind of abuse are all part of her reality. While her circumstances are desperate, her spirit is strong. It is this quiet strength, along with the protection she receives from a gentle stranger she calls the "Illuminated Man”, which carry her through the atrocities inflicted upon her.
Although Scared is by definition a novel, it blurs the lines between fiction and non-fiction, telling the story of a real girl that Davis met while visiting an orphanage in Swaziland. If Scared was purely a work of fiction, it would be much easier to leave behind. However, the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of "Adannas" facing the same circumstances, makes it nearly impossible to read this book without being moved to respond. Davis capitalizes on this desire to act by sending people to the book's website www.scaredthebook.com where readers can meet the real-life Adanna and learn how to make a difference in the lives of orphaned children.
If Davis' goal was to compel his readers to take action, to speak for those without a voice, to defend the defenseless, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and to love the unloved, then he can definitely consider Scared a success.
