Home again!

Success, my kebab recipe worked and now I will share with you the recipe. First I will give you the recipe for English kebab, and second I will give you the recipe for my Home kebab.

English Kebab:

Ingredients;
500g Beef Frying Steak
500g Lamb Mince
1Tps Black Pepper (ground)
1 cup Onion (Processed to liquid (about 100ml))
1 egg
1Tbls Salt
1 Medium Sized Tomato

Prepare a marinade of onion juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and soak meat (both the steak and the lamb mince, I find it helps to do the mince first and lay the steak on top of the mince) in the marinade overnight. Mix the lamb mince with the egg. Thread a piece of the steak onto a skewer, follow this with a 'burger' of the mince, and follow again with another piece of steak etc, etc(it may help to make each piece of steak about 4in by 2in and fold them in half skewering them twice). Lay the kebab in a deep oven tray with a little oil in the bottom (to be honest it is best to actually make the thing in the tray in the first place because it falls apart a lot). Slice the tomato in half and place the two halfs on top of the now horizontal kebab. Cover the dish with tin foil and place in a preheated oven at about 200'C. After about 45 minutes of cooking, slice the meat, in strands, from the skewer and put under a grill for about 15-20 minutes. Serve in a pitta bread with 'M&S Burger Mayonaisse', sorry for the advertising.

Kebabs like Home

When I lived in another country for a while me and my wife used to eat doner kebab quite often, however when we moved back to England we discovered that the doner we were eating in the previous country was made differently and tasted so much better than the english stuff. I was of course quite disappointed, however I hatched a plan to attempt to make kebab like the ones from the other country, I found a recipe for kebabs, changed to meat, and today I will find out if it is a success as currently broiling in our oven is the prototype. I hope that I got it right because I tried to make kebab before but it just tasted like english kebab, so it was a half success, it tasted like it was supposed to but not how I wanted it. If this kebab is a success I will upload the recipe to make it in the future and you can try it for yourselves.

Farms Flourish Unless They Die

I believe a few months back I was talking to you about my love of gardening. Well since I have moved down here I have been unable to continue with that particular hobby, however I recently discovered a game on a well known networking site which allows me to make a farm, and make things grow and reap the profits. I must admit it is a great game especially as it is growing themed. Though I am quickly outdoing most of my 'neighbours' in the game I feel a great enjoyment from making something happen and from making things grow, even if they are just a group of pixels and well placed programming language. Talking about programming language, it is a language that only a few people in the world understand, it is complex and hard to distinguish different segments from each other if you aren't one of the people who can comprehend the ins and outs of it. Sometimes talking to God is a bit like programming language, we see all these people around us knowing what God wants them to do, getting on with their 'bit' and having great success in following the Lord, and then we look at our lives and we can't see the 'message inside the text', we can't see what God wants of us. We have pages and pages of information that we can't even start to comprehend and we end up feeling lost and lonely, all I can tell you in these situations is to rely on the thing that has brought you this far, Faith. Faith in the Lord is all you need to continue, because in the end it doesn't matter whether we know what he wants of us, he will lead us there no matter what.

Thanks for reading, God Bless,

Apologies and Regrets

First of all I would like to apologise to any readers out there who have missed my writings. I would like to state that the reason for this is that me and my wife have been moving over the last few weeks and I have been unable to write anything till now. I still have no job, however my wife has been working hard for about a month and a half now, everything seems to be going well and God has been leading us all the way. I must admit now that I have been having doubts with God considering a job for me, it is hard sometimes seeing those who aren't christians having better success than me, seeing them get things they want and me being left behind. I must admit that I have been a bit jealous but still I believe the reason I have not yet got a job is that there is the 'right' job for me out there and it just a matter of finding it. I feel confident most of the time that God is leading me somewhere but still I have the occasional doubt.
