Happy Thanksgiving!!!

1. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

 2. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3.  In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 

4. All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

 5. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord : for great is the glory of the Lord. 

6. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 

8.  The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. 

Psalms 138

Turkey pot pie recipe !!!

Turkey pot pie.

You will need:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine,
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon snipped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme,
1/8 teaspoon pepper,
3/4 cup turkey broth,
3/4 cup whipping cream,
2 cups cooked turkey, cut into 1- inch pieces,
1 package ( 10 ounces ) frozen peas and carrots,
1 small chopped onion,

Directions:
Heat butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir in flour, salt, thyme and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and wipping cream. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 min. Stir in turkey, peas and carrots and onion.
Heat oven to 425°.

Perfect Pie Crust:
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 egg
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add in the butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work the butter and shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 or 4 minutes.

Lightly beat the egg with a fork, and then add it to the mixture. Next, add in the cold water and vinegar. Stir the mixture together until it's just combined, and then remove half the dough from the bowl. Yield: dough for 2 crusts.

Pour turkey mixture into the crust- lined dish.
With the left over dough, roll into rectangle. Cut rectangle into 12 strips, each 1/2 inch wide.
Place 7 strips across filling; arrange remaining strips crisscross to make lattice top. Trim; turn edge of bottom crust over strips. Seal. Bake 35 to 40 minor untill light brown.



Ya'll enjoy :)
