Germany 2015 - Recipes!

I had so much yummy food while I was in Germany! My host mom gave me the recipes for some of my favorite foods, which I am going to share with you. However, some of the ingredients are different than what we have in the US so I need to find out some more details for some of them, as well as translate it into my units of measurement, and you may have to, as well. But, here they are! I may update this post if I find out something important about one of the ingredients. Happy German cooking!

Amerikaner (sugar cookies, German style)

100 gram butter

100 gram sugar

1 package vanilla sugar

2 eggs

45 grams milk

1 little bottle butter-vanilla-aroma

250 grams flour

1 package vanilla custard powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

Mix all of the ingredients. Make little cookie piles with a spoon (like any cookies) on a baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)

Nuss-Streifen (really yummy nut cake!)

120 grams butter

3 eggs

300 grams sugar

300 grams ground hazelnuts

250 grams milk

200 grams flour

1 package backing soda

Mix all of the ingredients. Then put the cake mix in a greased baking tray about 30x36 cm. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Cake icing: whole milk chocolate with chopped hazelnuts on top

Tomato Salad

(Sorry, my host mom didn't have an actual recipe of how much stuff to put in, so you'll have to do as I will and just figure it out.)

Tomatoes cut up (into fourths or maybe smaller if you prefer)

Basil, parsley, chives, balsamic-vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, and possibly onions

Potato Salad (SO much better than PA Dutch potato salad!)

1 kilogram fixed potatoes - cook, peel, cut slices

1 onion diced

1 cup hot broth

salt, pepper, vinegar, oil season

with chives garnish

Potato "bratl"

1 kilogram pork with skin, with salt and pepper season

1 big onion

1 clove of garlic

Put all into a pot in 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit)

When the onion is brown, brew with broth. Regularly top with broth. Fry 1.5 hours.

400 grams potatoes

2 big carrots

peel, halve, and add in. Fry one more hour.

Thailand 2017: Falling in Love with ZOE

A place where broken children become whole through the love of Jesus and lonely children become part of a family. Where hope is restored and hurts healed. Where a new chance at life blooms. Where laughter echoes through open air hallways and smiles grow. It's a beautiful place of beautiful people, and it's a place that I fell in love with. It's ZOE International. PC: ZOE From stepping onto the plane August 15 to stepping off on August 27, I went on a short term mission trip to Thailand through ZOE International. When I left for the trip, I had no idea what to expect, and all I really knew about ZOE was that they work to prevent child trafficking, rescue children, and help them through the restoration process. I had heard about it through one of their missionary couples who spoke twice at the church I started attending a couple of years ago. I was not prepared for all that ZOE is: children so happy, loved and at home that you would never know their past; am...

Guatemala 2015 - August 9

No running that morning, it was our day of rest! It was nice to sleep til 6:50! Miranda and I did breakfast. Church was indescribable - at least, to many American Christians, indescribable in one way, while I mean it in another! It was awesome and powerful, with a very heavy presence of God. The Spirit was heavily at work in that place. Worship was long, as usual, and it didn't take long before I could feel His Presence in that room - it didn't matter that I was singing in Spanish and didn't understand most of the words I was singing, because the Spirit was still there and I was moved by it. (Just more evidence that it is not the music that moves hearts, but the Spirit that works through the music.) People started falling over in the presence of God, and there were many deliverances - including Delmi. Ryan pulled Miranda and Miranda pulled me and we went up thinking we were going to pray healing over her eyes, but it turned into...

California 2018: Open Heavens and San Francisco

Seven years of waiting. Seven years...and I finally was on my way to California. More specifically, I was finally going out to a Bethel conference in Redding, CA, by way of San Francisco. Along with my friend Miranda, we were ready for our short four-day adventure October 3-6. I couldn't believe that I could get to Guatemala faster then I could California. Seriously, what is up with that? (At least the way home was a 1/2 hour shorter than the US-Guate flight.) We arrived at San Francisco airport, got our rental car (a much fancier one than either of us owns ourselves), and set the GPS for La Quinta Inn and Suites, Redding, and started driving. The landscape along the highway fascinated me. Such dry, golden-brown hills with dark green trees that stood out like little black dots from a distance and looked out of place up close. When we got to a stretch of very flat land for a good hundred miles at least, varying between dusty dry grass and some sort of tree farms (were they al...
