A Great Day!

Have you ever noticed that some days are just good? Today was one of those days.
   I got to do lots of cooking today (which doesn't sound like fun to some people, but I enjoy it.) Tried a new recipe for biscuits this morning that did not turn out well. The sausage eggs made up for them though. Homemade pizza for lunch that was excellent. Now if only I knew how to "make" pepperoni it could be completely homemade. Crust and sauce both turned out nicely. Someone should tell pizza hut that plain jane breakfast sausage is a way better pizza topping than Italian sausage. Thanks tasteofhome.com for some great recipes.
   After lunch I got to take a nice long nap! I don't remember the last time I wanted to nap so badly. After my nap Addie (who skipped her nap) and I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch to put in welcome boxes for the students living in the dorms at SCCC here in town. Tried a new recipe that was quite tasty. Still not quite what I am looking for in the perfect chocolate chip cookie, but good none-the-less. Anyone have a good recipe for cookies that aren't so thin once they bake? Not fluffy like cake but thicker. I also whipped up a batch of homemade strawberry ice cream that has convinced my wife that I should stop making chocolate ice cream. Finally, we finished the food extravaganza with a chicken stir-fry. Zucchini, carrots, sweet onions, chicken, and kikkoman's stir-fry sauce served with white rice. Awesome!
   So there you have it, what does it take for Jeremy to have a great day? Let him take a nap and cook for you. A little bit of computer time is fun as well. What makes a day great for you? Have you stopped to thank God for the great days? How about the mediocre ones? I working on doing that more in my life. Thank You Lord for giving us today. Stay tuned for more worship posts, and thankful thoughts. God bless and good night.
