Blog Day of Silence....
I have read Julee's blog for a couple of years now. She lost her husband, Matt Turner, due to a car accident recently. My heart just breaks for her, her family, and her 8 month old Daughter Preslee. Please remember them in your prayers!

Yummm.....
Roasted Cabbage
1 medium-sized head of green cabbage2 T olive oil2-3 T fresh squeezed
lemon juice (I used 2 T for the cabbage in these photos, but next time I'd use
even more lemon)generous amount of sea salt and fresh ground black
pepperlemon slices, for serving cabbage (optional)
Preheat oven to 450F/232C. Spray a roasting pan
with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Cut the head of cabbage into 8 same-size
wedges, cutting through the core and stem end. Then carefully trim the core
strip and stem from each wedge and arrange wedges in a single layer on the
roasting pan (leave some space around them as much as you can.)Whisk
together the olive oil and lemon juice (use the larger amount of lemon juice if
you like a lot of lemon like I do.) Then use a pastry brush to brush the top
sides of each cabbage wedge with the mixture and season generously with salt and
fresh ground black pepper. Turn cabbage wedges carefully, then brush the second
side with the olive oil/lemon juice mixture and season with salt and
pepper.Roast cabbage for about 15 minutes, or until the side touching
the pan is nicely browned. Then turn each wedge carefully and roast 10-15
minutes more, until the cabbage is nicely browned and cooked through with a bit
of chewiness remaining. Serve hot, with additional lemon slices to squeeze lemon
juice on at the table if desired.

The life of a 1st Grader.....
Sydney is so funny. I love to hear stories about little things she does in class.
I had a kindergarden teacher email me this:
"Sydney is so funny! I went to Mrs. Revels room to give something to EK the other day and she was "taking names" b/c Michelle had to go to the office. She announced to the class that Mrs Martin could talk and didnt even have to move her card:) "
I was also told that when they got the class pet "a guinea pig" Sydney just HAD to hold him. She was fine until she realized that somehow she got "Gigi's" hair in her mouth. (Now how in the world did THAT happen???) LOL!
