Been doing some mad scientist crap in my kitchen in preparation for holiday football season when my brother comes to visit. Been trying to perfect my recipie for fried pickles! Latest attempt using beer batter with just a touch of buttermilk. Inside are jalapeno popper pickles for an extra kick! Who wants to be a test subject?

Ran into a old mentor at work and even though things ended badly we were on good terms. Feels nice not to have that awkward tension

God won't always take the struggle away but he promises to be in it with you. The struggle produces character and perservance and hope. If you been banking on him taking it away to move forward. Understand it might not be his will to take it away so you wasting time when you could be moving forward. Even if the difficulty is alien mode. Found this out the hard way.
