Impressional Sayings to Apply in Everyday Life

Today, I was looking at an old calendar from last year. The pictures were really beautiful but what got my eye was the memorable sayings at the top of each page below the pictures. I thought hey, that would be something that others would enjoy as I have. There were no quotes listed so I don't know who wrote them but the calendar came from Continental Insurance Company (610) 853-2100, I gave you the phone number just in case someone needs it.

1. Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
2. Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.
3. Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
4. It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't.
5. We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
6. Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
7. A mind that has been stretched will never return to its original dimension.
8 . Success is getting what you want and happiness is wanting what you get.
9. Courage is grace under pressure.
10. It doesn't get any better than this.

This will end my contribution for today. Hope you comeback and visit.

Be Safe!

I am always looking for something different and tasty. This recipe will make your taste buds water. It is made with fresh lemons instead of lemon extract and does it make a difference. This particular recipe was created in Cooks Country if interested in collecting...View

Lemon Pound Cake

SERVES 8
For best results, the butter should be between 65 and 70 degrees-it should
give slightly when pressed with your finger but still hold its shape. You will need three lemons for this recipe.

Cake
16 tablespoons (2 sticks)
unsalted butter,softened but
still cool, plus extra for
greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus
extra for dusting pan
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon
zest
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons
granulated sugar
5 large eggs, at room
temperature, beaten
Syrup

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

Glaze

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar,
sifted
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. For the cake: Adjust oven rack to middle
position and heat oven 325 degrees. Grease 9 by 5-inch
loaf pan with butter; dust pan with flour, then tap out
excess. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into bowl.
Stir sour cream and lemon juice together in second bowl.

2. Using fingers, toss lemon zest and sugar
together in large bowl until clumps are gone.
Add butter and beat with electric mixer at medium-high speed
until smooth and light, about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides of
bowl. Add beaten eggs in three additions, mixing until smooth
and scraping down bowl after each addition (mixture will begin
to look curdled). With mixer on low, add one-third of flour
mixture, followed by half of sour cream mixture, stopping as
necessary to scrape down bowl. Repeat, ending with flour mixture.
Scrape down bowl, then mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Use rubber spatula to give batter final stir.
3. Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Gently
tap pan on counter to release air bubbles. Bake until golden brown
and toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few crumbs
attached, 55 to 70 minutes.
4. Fot the syrup: While cake bakes, stir sugar and
lemon juice together in saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar
dissolves. Simmer for 2 minutes, remove from heat, and set aside.
5. Cool cake in pan on cooling rack for 10 minutes,
then turn out onto rack. Brush top and sides of still warm cake with
syrup and cool completely, about 2 hours.
6. For the glaze: Whisk confectioners' sugar and
lemon juice in bowl until smooth. Spread glaze over cake, allowing
some to drip down sides. Let glaze set for at least 15 minutes before
serving.

Make Ahead
The test kitchen found this
cake to be more moist the
day after it was baked. In
fact, when tightly wrapped,
the cake will stay fresh up
to 5 days. This cake also
freezes well. Apply syrup,
let cool, and wrap, unglazed,
two layers of plastic wrap and
freeze in a zipper-lock plastic
bag for up to 1 month. When
ready to serve, defrost the
cake, still wrapped, at room
temperature, then remove the
plastic wrap and proceed with
the recipe from step 6.

Note:
For potent lemon flavor add lemon zest to the cake batter, brush the just-baked cake with lemon syrup, and then spread the cooled cake with lemon glaze.

Hello Everyone - How Are You?

This is my first post in this blog and I really am lost for words. I am still rather new at this post talking. I would however, like to invite each of you to visit my insightful page listed at the end of this post and please, don't be shy to give your opinion.

At my age to be learning how to do some of the things that I've been able to do gives me, another level of hope. Being proud of oneself is not a vain thing, it is a gift given to us at our birth and it's not always accepted in the way it was given.

Think about it.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
