Food For Thought:

My Three Daughters

I am a girl dad. This picture is of my three daughters around 2009. My youngest is 17 now and will be 18 soon. Now, I have three grandchildren. Time sure does go by fast. My youngest is in college now and asking me about the courses I took in college.

It is fun to see pictures from the past and think about the years that have gone by. The memories are really nice to recall. Days go by, and it is easy to forget a day, but a picture can bring back memories of a specific day.

Many years ago I was thinking about memories and how they can easily be forgotten. I decided to keep a digital journal for myself. I decided to journal each day and I kept up with this for two years. Each day I would journal every detail as much as possible, especially the things that highlighted that day.

After some time I would go back and read a daily entry in the journal and it amazed me how I could recall that day. I discovered it was a great way to preserve memories even if I didn't have pictures for that day. I haven't kept a journal in a long time but I am considering starting that up again so I can look back on each day. Can you remember the exact day one year ago? A journal may be a great project for you to start if you want to preserve memories without pictures daily. I used Google Docs for that project.

My Thoughts On Pumpkin Pie:

I really enjoy pumpkin pie and pumpkin-flavored food. The pumpkin spice coffee and other drinks are nice. I like the yearly pumpkin spice craft beers. I like to get a few for the fall time of the year. They are great with food.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of the food and the spirit of gratitude surrounding the holiday. I can eat pumpkin pie any time of the year. I always enjoy whipped topping with my pumpkin pie and it is especially good with sprinkled cinnamon on the whipped topping.

Extra Information For You:

A Brief History of Pumpkin Pie

While pumpkin pie is often associated with Thanksgiving, its origins date back much further.

• Native American Roots: The Native Americans of North America cultivated and consumed pumpkins for centuries. They likely enjoyed pumpkin in various forms, including stews and pies.

• Colonial Adaptation: Early European settlers in New England adopted pumpkins from the Native Americans. They experimented with using pumpkin in pies, often incorporating spices and other ingredients.

• 18th Century Popularity: By the 18th century, pumpkin pie had become a popular dessert in New England. It was often served during Thanksgiving celebrations and other festive occasions.

• Canned Pumpkin Revolution: The introduction of canned pumpkin in the early 20th century made it easier for people to enjoy pumpkin pie year-round, further contributing to its popularity.

Today, pumpkin pie remains a beloved American dessert, enjoyed by millions during the fall and holiday seasons. Its rich history and comforting flavor have made it a timeless classic.

Food For Thought:

Fine Southern Dish shares a neat writing about prayer. It would be a good time to write about it. Coffee, cake, and coffee cake. All good things. Coffee sparks my mind and gets me to think.

As you know, life can be a little stressful sometimes. When I get stressed about life situations or circumstances, and even about interactions with people, I try to lean towards prayer. I try to remember that people are at different stages in life. I never know what others are going through and they don't know what I am going through.

Whenever I am having a bad day or someone has been in a bad mood around me, I just pray. I pray for them and forgive them. It can be difficult. We are all just human and are prone to human weaknesses. I am not trying to be preachy here. I am just trying to share what works sometimes for me.

No matter what, this picture was worth sharing, and If you are sipping on a cup of coffee, it might make you think about it a little. Please share your thoughts with me on this.

My Thoughts On Coffee Cake:

This recipe is a great homemade coffee cake that is better than store-bought. I hope you enjoy it.

My Thoughts On Baked Beans:

This recipe is made with pork and beans. When I was a kid, my sister loved pork and beans. We would spend time with my grandparents during the summer and my sister told my grandparents she loved pork and beans. I remember them laughing and they bought a whole case of pork and beans for her to enjoy when she wanted. What won't grandparents do for their grandchildren?

I like bacon in my baked beans. The bacon gives baked beans that smokey flavor that goes well with the sweetness of the brown sugar. When I think of baked beans, I think of family gatherings and the Fourth of July.

Extra Information For You:

Baked beans, a quintessential American comfort food, have a rich history.

• Native American Origins: The concept of cooking dried beans in a pot likely originated with Native American cultures, who enjoyed beans as a staple food.

• Puritan Influence: When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted the practice of cooking beans from the Native Americans. The Puritans, in particular, found baked beans convenient as they could be prepared on Saturday and enjoyed on Sundays when cooking was prohibited.

• The Role of Molasses: The addition of molasses to baked beans is often attributed to the New England colonists, who had access to this ingredient through the triangular trade.

• Canned Convenience: The late 19th century brought about the mass production of canned baked beans, making this hearty dish accessible to a wider audience.

Today, baked beans remain a popular side dish, enjoyed in various regional styles and flavors. To learn more interesting facts and the history of baked beans, visit Love Food's article.

Unlike many classic dishes with centuries of history, Avocado Ugly Dip is a relatively recent culinary invention. Its popularity surged in the mid-to-late 20th century, coinciding with the increasing availability and affordability of avocados.

The concept of combining avocados with various ingredients for dips and spreads has its roots in Mexican cuisine, where guacamole is a staple. However, the specific combination of ingredients found in Avocado Ugly Dip, such as tomatoes, green onions, and black olives, reflects the diverse culinary influences of American cuisine.

Have you seen this cooking hack? It is a great way to soften cold butter really fast without melting it. We use a lot of butter in my house. My youngest daughter is a great baker and she uses a lot of butter for her recipes. I will share more ways to soften butter with you here, one of the tips includes the method shown in the picture above.

Softening Butter Quickly Without Melting

Here are a few effective methods:

• Glass Bowl Method: Fill a glass bowl with hot water, empty it, then invert the bowl over your butter. The trapped heat will soften the butter without melting it.

• Grate or Chop: Cutting the butter into small pieces significantly speeds up the softening process.

• Microwaving Carefully: Use short bursts of low power, checking frequently to prevent melting.

• Plan Ahead: If possible, take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance to allow it to soften naturally.

By following these tips, you can achieve perfectly softened butter for your baking needs without the risk of melting.

Recipe and Process

• Did you find the cake mix cinnamon roll recipe easy to follow? Were there any steps that were particularly tricky?

I enjoy the cinnamon sugar and icing flavor that cinnamon rolls bring. I know it's not the healthiest breakfast but I like to have a cinnamon roll with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast when I can.

• Ancient Origins: Sweetened breads and pastries date back to ancient civilizations, with the Egyptians and Romans enjoying honeyed treats.
